I'm listening on crappy ear buds now but except for the pumping, it doesn't sound that bad. Back off the master buss compression. I think if you beefed up the drums a bit it would help with that "big" sound you are going after.

 

[123explode]

ok i hear you man. only thing is, ik it sounds bad but ive always struggled for the loudness issue......tips? (master is mostly ozone)

Only things i can really pull out are some of the vocal layers needing to be pitched a little bit closer, and the kick could probably be brought up a tad.

 

[oroinvictus]

Back off on the master bus compression a bit, bring the kick up, bring the bass guitar up, add some more bass on the guitar tone itself and you'll be there.

 

[Backe]

Less compression to get rid of that "pumping". Try bringing the kick up and add some more "smack" to it, then do some master bus multiband-compression on the lowend to get it real punchy (rather than pumpy), maybe do some boosting on the highs, like some highshelving around 8-10khz, to get it to sound more "in your face"! Otherwise awesome.

 

[Matt.CL]

yeah, it sounds saturated. and it doesn't even sound that loud so it seems you need to lower the input on ozone

 

[123explode]

thanks so much for the input guys! wait so.....lowering the input on ozone will eaise the volume?

 

[AllanD]

There's extreme bass in the low end. Multiband it.

 

[123explode]

push the lows down...?

 

[barricade]

Love this overproduced sound! You rly should tame the low end a little more i think! ...and that's the only thing i would change... sounds supercool to me!

 

[123explode]

ok awesome! so overall bring the low end down and stuff.....these suggestions are really helpful thank you so much! but now how do i get the level up?

 

[Ionei]

Man those gangs are weak as fuck.

Any chance you could re-track with people whos balls have dropped?

 

[123explode]

yeah were redoing em saturday

 

[donimoines]

nice fkn mix man.
podfarm? + ssd?
hahaha this is bass drop o-rama.

 

[dankarghh]

hey dude, the mix is pretty sweet. the master needs work as mentioned. what are you using on it at the moment. heres a tip from arv_foh i read in another thread about using ozone that really helped me "use the loudness maximizer, set the ceiling to -.3, turn the character down to 1.0 or lower, bring down the threshold, and enjoy your loudness. I also mix into a master bus compressor like the Waves SSL bus comp before it hits ozone to give it some mix glue"

Give that a go as a starting point and tweak from there!

this and I think it could tact a bit better.

oh yea and next time the vocalist says there is a "bree" on this next part just say no.

 

[123explode]

thanks again guys!

lol ik they wanted so many bass drops......whatever

ok i will try the ozone thing.....anyway i could achieve loudness without ssl?

 

[Deebo]

I dig this! Sounds like older Emmure before they turned into Limp Biscuit 2.0. Any chance I could get the band name?

 

[123explode]
