If your going for an 80's metal sound you got it.

As for the mix from my quick listen sounds good. Great job!!!

 

[pitoga]

what do you mean by 80's metal sound (i definitely didn't wanted that sound XD maybe just for the guitars)

 

[leaky24]

Well i think its the synths and vocals that give it the 80s sound.

 

[pitoga]

OH, haha cool then.
Well anyone any inputs, please i just want to have another ones perspective on the sound. most of you guys here have awesome sounding posts.

Mix sounds great! The material... not my cup of tea. Vocals sound good to me, some lead guitar parts could've been played better but I guess it's too late for that.

 

[pitoga]

yeah, they sure could've been played better. I'm Just Editing & Mixing the Album they recorded at another place.
Is the bass guitar good? it kinda adds the low end to the guitars but isn't that defined as a "bass" alone (hope you get the point) is this good? or should I make it more "understandable"?

 

[leaky24]

The bass is fine to my ears

 

[pitoga]

Well, this is my almost final version (still needs some automation) did some minor adjustments, i feel everything more "clearer" now.

I think it sounds great man! I'd just think about a light verb for the vocals, and maybe a little bit of "air" on the guitars to help them sit in the mix better. I love the intro... kind of reminds me of old King Diamond

 

[pitoga]

thanks! could you please explain what you mean by more "air" ? less compressed? XD don't really get these AE "words".

Oh yeah. Just a little more room sound, or maybe a VERY light reverb with a VERY short decay.
