My most recent mix of a project i'm writing, performing and producing. Inspiration from Attack! Attack!'s heavier, non-sythy tracks. Feedback would be greatly appreciated =)
Subdrops and reverse snares are not lead instruments
I'd say focus on the instruments being tight, together and balanced. Snare seems slightly too prominent and guitars would benefit from a nice bit of editing. Everything would sound more glued with a bit o' compression too.
The reverse snare/subdrop rape aside I remember when I listened to it yesterday that it was sounding very flat.. like I could not feel the energy moving the song forward, it just dident punch/gell very well.
The reverse snare didn't bother me at all in the ending break. But in the beginning there was just a littlebit too much. And subdrops usualy don't bother me at all. I tend to think them as instruments. Not lead but still instruments.
EDIT: And oh yeah.. The guitars sound good. OR actually everythig souds good but a bit powerless.
