Rate this mix/master! (Post-hardcore / metalcore)

I'm extremely happy with the way this song turned out, everything shines through nicely, vocals sound great, kick is punchy, snare is poppy, cymbals are bright, guitars sound great, bass fills the mix nicely, let me know what you guys think!

Please, no hate comments if you don't like this style of music, as I know some of you don't.

No one?

Toms don't sound great. I assume the obvious auto-tune is the effect you're going for. Guitars could use more high-end, but that's all personal preference dude.

Not sure what you're looking for.

The cymbals are definitely overpowering the mix just a hair, but only on some parts, try automating down in places.

The edits are tight which is really half the battle! love the vocal effect around 2/3 rds of the way through.
overall not bad!

snare is thin/dry/small/too loud/shitty Fix that and you'll be in the ballpark

Nice stuff brother, I really like when it goes into the clean vocal melody. Screaming is good also, I've always enjoyed screaming in songs when it leads into a clean vocal melody. I guess its like a choas into order kind of thing

I liked all the panning stuff also, nice sounding mix

if I had to critic anything I would say the screams and the snare sound a little "dry" in some places but thats all personal, its not enough for me to not to rock out to the mix.

The snare does sound like poop, and I actually thought the dryness of the screams was pretty cool. It seems to be a pretty common thing in this genre to have a "small room" feeling to the screams, like the vocalist is standing in the control room.

But yeah, go for a snare that has some body and an actual tail. Then mix it in some more. You're going for a "crack" + "boom", not "pop" + cardboard.

1.) Drums sound very fake
2.) Cymbals too loud
3.) For me, the bass should go up a tad (just personal preference)
4.) Dry and Thin drums, maybe beefin' it up a wee bit and add some verb!
5.)Kick too clicky, needs more bottom end thump.

Pretty good

I like this. I agree with the snare being to thin and poppy. sounds robotic. I really like what you did to the clean vocals.

Obvious autotune in the cleans, hehe.

There's a bit too much high-end going on, or is that just my taste? A bit more audible bass guitar could do.
