The vocals have a very annoying distortion on the loudest notes on the heavier songs. Sound maybe a little too in your face.

I've listened to both the trailer mp3 and the version on myspace and I can hear very audible distortion on the vocals on just about every song section. What were you running on the lead vocal chain?
Rob Logic
yayyyyyy!
The vocals are bright as hell. At first I thought it might just be the lead vocal track, but the dude backing tracks have like an unnecessary amount of air to them. 15khz and above is a bit much. Least from where I'm listening. Anyone else hearing what I'm getting?

Aye, sounds like the vocals are saturating at the highest frequencies. Like Vintage Warmer being over-used or something.
Nothing special going on in the vocal chain. LA-2A and a bit of eq but no high shelving - only cuts.
Maybe it´s a little bit too much boosting of high ends in the mastering chain (and maybe even too much limiting - finalizer clipper at 8db...).
I guess if the cd will be released we´ll ask someone else to master it.
BTW, the myspace version was only a pre version as I did some changes after putting it on myspace.
Do you think the guitars and drums sound weak?

I thought it sounded fine, but I can't listen very closely at the moment. If there are things that need changing though it's just minor things, the mix as a whole is just fine I would say.

BOOSH.
I'm listening on earbuds atm, but it sounds pretty good. I do hear the clipping though. I like the overall sound, good guitar/drums/vocal sound.

I agree...And while the high end of the female vocals is getting crispy, I think the rest of mix overall is kinda dark/muffled, save for the high high end of the cymbals.
Thanks for your help guys!
I´ll see if I can do something with the vocals. Maybe I´ll start a mastering competition as well.
But this will take some time.

I'm hearing that as well, it gets annoying to listen to that again and again, definitely needs to be tamed.

First of all ...good music! I like the previews.
The vocals in the second version doesn't bite as much as the first one. Here and than they still sound a bit rough compared to the very round and smooth instrumental part. But could be the girls voice. She has a very aggressive in-your-face singing style. Maybe you should leave that as a trademark.
