Here's the sample: download

I guess it's not the most popular style of music around here but I'm more interested in what you think of the production, anyway. I'm happy with how it turned out overall, but I'm really tempted to replace the snare, since it soundss kinda

Let me know what you think. Cheers!

Wicked! I really like these kind of dirty deathmetal productions. And the guitars sound really evil...

The snare works but maybe something more in your face would fit better.

 

[Morgan C]

Wow.. really hot vocalist.





Sorry what?

Guitars sound awesome, I would definately replace the snare as its letting the rest of the mix (which is awesome!) down a lot.

Thanks guys

I'm probably going to try tweaking the snare a bit more, since I didn't like how it sounds blended with a sample. If it's still letting the mix down than I might replace it completely.

It's a huge relief that the guitars sound good, because I reamped them 2 or 3 times and eqed them a million different ways. I guess it's always like that when you're mixing your own band.

BTW, I can cut up a few samples of the kick and upload them if someone wants me to. I don't know if it will work for other stuff but I like it in this mix.

I gave the snare one more chance, is it OK?
new mix
Also some other changes in the new mix, but more importantly it's the whole song this time.

Hahahaha holy fuck this is the female version of Lord Worm on vocals! Same type of word pronounciation... in other words, it's impossible to make out anything at all but it still rocks haha.

Well the fact that the lyrics are in Bulgarian probably doesn't help intelligibility But yeah, a lot of Bulgarians don't understand a word she says
