Probably my best mix to-date. (Charlez stem pack) Feedback Plz?

[Virgil.]

Here's a mix I did using Charlez' stem pack. (found here)
This is probably my best mix to-date for sure. Any feedback and/or suggestions is appreciated, as I'm still learning and wanting to get better. Thanks!



Drums: Slate kick and snare blended with a few kick/snare samples from Lasse and Sneap. Cymbals are SD2.0 compressed with some overhead room mics blended from SSD. Toms are SSD as well.

Guitars: Lepou's Legion for Rhythm and Lecto for leads. I used 2 instances of impulses -- Recabinet as well as blended with Catharsis' "s-preshigh" impulse.

Bass: one clean DI track lowpassed at 500hz for a beefy low end round sound, and another DI high passed at 300hz and ran through Lextac for a bit of grit and both then blended together.

I like it a lot but the kick is a bit loud still. Guitars are nice and tight but maybe a little too tight. Could use a hint more of gain.

Thanks man. I did some messing around with it last night, and I dont think the kick drum is too loud, but I do think it has a bit too much click or high-end that is poking through the mix, giving the impression that it's too loud. And as far as the guitars, I think it's the way the DI's were recorded. The more gain I seem to add to them the nastier they sound (in a bad way) and seems to muddy up the mix. I'll do some minor tweaks and post a new version later. Cheers.

Sounds cool man just the playing could be cleaned up more, tighter edits and some of the earlier chords is outta tune! But mix is pretty rad!

The rhythm guitars sound good. The lead needs work though, it's really pushed back (near inaudible) and ratty. The drums are weak and get buried really easily.

Very clean mix. I personally like my kick in front BUT here I think the guitars and snare should be brought up just a hair to mesh a little better with the kick and put the cymbals a little further back. But that's my two cents.

Thanks fellas!
