You like In Flames, don't you ?

The overall sound is good. I like the bass grit and the guitar tone.
Maybe a lack of low end on the bass guitar. There is also a resonance on the racktoms I don't really like. You can hear it during the drum intro.
I can hear your master chain pumping or maybe it's my shitty headphone I'm listening with right now
Very good work and nice playing too. Some vocals on this would be killer !

Do you mind sharing .... hummm ... all you use/did

as captainboom pointed out, way way waaaayyy too much compression. But the overall mix sounds pretty damn perfect to me.

 

[Spectivum]

would like to listen to this when the comp is only doing 2-3 dB gain reduction, too distracting now...

 

[s2c]

Ok, did some changes, more low end on bass, less compression on master chain etc...

what do you guys think? As soon as possible I will put more info about what was used etc...

Cheers

PS - Yes, I do like In Flames

Nice! diggin it.

 

[Heabow]

Really nice man! (though a lil' bit too compressed imo). Love the guitar tone and good song too. What amp/cab?

 

[Spectivum]

much better but still too much comp imo. the kick has some farting cardboard sound in the sample, maybe you want to check that. interestingly I haven't noticed in the first part of the song but very apparent from 2:31, maybe some automation is messing with that. is the snare a single sample? a bit robotic at the start, you could create variations. or just use snare rim or hihat first and bring in the snare where the riff comes back at 0:20.

 

[s2c]

dealing with the compression right now. some info:

Guitars:
- Gibson Les Paul Gothic emg 85 & 81>maxon 808>Engl E530>M-Audio Fastrack USB>Reaper>EQ>Lecab (God's Cab - the best impulses for me)>EQ

I will put more info as soon as possible

Cheers

As pointed out before, something funky is going on with the kick at around 2:30-250 during that double bass run. Everything else sounds great to me, guitar tone is really nice and crunchy.

 

[s2c]

Hey friends, new version with less compression I hope

Cheers and many thanks for helping me improving my mix skills

The drum intro will have something more like a vocal speech or something Spectivum, but I understand what you mean. The drums were recorded in a not so great room and the mics were not that good neither. I only remember the good sm57s on snare top and bottom and AKG D112 on kick the rest I can´t remember, we recorded the drums about 10 months ago so... The bass was a Bass Collection recorded through a DI and thats it. Two bass tracks, one with distortion HP 200 and LP 6000 and the other with BOD and limiting, the bass group with a 1k boost of 9dbs. I use two different samples on snare, one I know is Ermz christmas gift the other I need to check and the kick is also from Ermz.

Need comments about the last version please

Any comments

 

[Anger Fuse]

I REALLY like it. Nice guitartone, and that bass sounds really nice. Maybe a little more "shimmer" on the bass, but it has a very nice low end to it. The song itself is really nice, maybe a bit repetetive - vocals needed now ;-)

 

[s2c]

I said earlier that the drums samples were from Ermz but actually they are from Lasse Lammert so... I'm sorry
