Possible final MIX. Please listen. (Quad Fredman technique quitars)

[tarnationsauce2]

This is turning out good to me. But I've spent hundreds of hours listening to it, so let me know if I'm off base with anything. lol

The CD gets sent for replication soon, so I have to be sure this rocks!

Think Chevelle / System of a Down / Slipknot / Mudvayne / Tool / but with their own thing going on.

Comments, questions, etc appreciated. But please keep it constructive.

[EDIT]

Here is the newest version of the song: Question B9 version 2

 

[poidaobi]

No problems from me!

(listening on some AT Headphones though)

 

[26]

From what I hear, I would change nothing. Great mix, cool song.

 

[Djabthrash]

Sounds great except the snare that is a bit too loud IMO

 

[TheDude]

I think that the compression is a bit too much. When the kick comes in, the rest is ducking. Otherwise it sounds really good.

 

[tarnationsauce2]

Thanks for the feedback so far, anybody else have input?

 

[Unavailable]

Sounds farking great! Awesome job!

 

[fatalforce]

Yeah I like it. For your quad tracking, how do you have this panned. How many mics did you use and do you have any pictures.

 

[ExDown]

Sounds great! only thing i'm thinking about is the snare. Think it's too, i dont know... lacks a good reverb or something, to get it to blend in the mix a bit better? Only my opinion though...

but everything's good enough already,.. just that little thing

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I wouldn't change shit.

 

[mikko/boogie]

No fingers to point here.

 

[Manicompression]

sounds great, very pro, I as well would not change shit

 

[felipe-x]

sounds fantastic!! i want their album now love the vocals and everything!

 

[felipe-x]

is the snare natural? if it can you make a sample ? love it

 

[Emdprodukt]

I really dislike this kind of music usually but this one sounds really good! Just works for my ears.

The snare is a pork Pie Big Black. We put magnesium hoops on it. Coated CS head on top, ambassador clear bottom, and Puresound wires. Tighter bottom, looser (but still pretty tight, don't choke it) top. NO deadening. In fact no deadening on any drums except the Kick.

Yeah I like it. For your quad tracking, how do you have this panned. How many mics did you use and do you have any pictures.

I used 2 mics both SM57 in to SCA A12 preamps. I didn't take any pictures directly of the micing. But I do have pics of the way the rigs were set up.

They are panned (Marshall JMP-1 to a Marshall 100/100) 80%.
(Mesa dual rec) %100.
Both amps ran through the same Marshall 1960b w/ V30's. And same micing.

 

[LSD-Studio]

great job!

 

[KeithRT99]

the hi hats sound a smidge harsh to me.

 

[tarnationsauce2]

Here is the newest version of the song: Question B9 version 2

Guitars up a bit, snare down a bit. A little more automation on the vocals. And a very slightly different EQ curve and compression threshold on the master.

 

[BC666]

wow!
