Probably my best lead tone but what about the rest?

[Charles J]

Some strange things happening in the high-end for me and I feel the vox could be compressed much more... effectively?

Mix is GOOD but tends to get a bit messy for me......! Could be an arrangement thing, not sure.

Love the drums =D

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.
I don't really see what to do about the high-end, guitars are a bit bright but that's what the band wanted and they have a nice precision, everything is clear to me (I think... ?).

Don't know about that "poor reputation" alert, someone told me that before (wasn't that you?) but I have no idea what to do to change that. Should I even care?

 

[Charles J]

PRECISION is the key word here. That, they def are! If it's what the band wants, fuck the rest =D

 

[XnaySaturo]

Vraiment professionnel, fabuleux!

I'd tend to agree about things being slightly harsh though, but my headphones are harsh by nature.

 

[P-E]

Ça sonne bien, mais j'ai l'impression que la voix pourrait être mieux mixée, EQ and compression-wise. The whole mix seems to lack a bit of low-mids too, but all in all it sounds very spacious and defined. Lead tone is great, as you mentioned!

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Honestly, considering the number of comments about the harsh sound and the mid-lows missing, I think there MUST be something wrong here, so I will definitely talk about that to the band (even though they are very happy at the moment). Probably just a bit of mastering EQ could fix it, but I'm always very cautious with that because I don't want to fuck up my levels. Cheers everyone.

The rhythm guitars are a bit thin/harsh in the top end for my tastes but it totally works in context actually.

Those leads... to die for. What was the chain on that one, Brett?

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Keep in mind guys that this is prog metal, not metal core, so it's more about definition and musician-ship than power and being-pissed-off-ship
And I'm quite glad their awesome bass player can be heard almost all the time

The chain for the guitars is:

Ibanez RG1527 (both guitar players have this guitar, one has the stock pickups and the other has DiMarzio D-sonic in the bridge and Air Norton in the neck)
Dunlop Zakk Wylde Cry Baby (not on all leads though)
Maxon OD820
Peavey 6505
Torpedo VB-101

No EQ.

This song sounds good actually. Maybe you can find there are some low mids missing but it's not a tragedy, I like how it sounds. Definitely something you can fix in mastering with a gentle boost there.

Leads are indeed awesome. Guitarists are ace.

 

[Djabthrash]

Brett any chance you repost the OP sample ? Or the final mix maybe ?

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Will do.

 

[Djabthrash]

Will do.

you great
