Real guitar amps and bass amp mix.

[Joshua Wickman]

Also this is my first mix on my Event Opals as well. So a lot of new things for me here. I only have like 2 hours into this mix so i may need to adjust some things.

Details.....

Guitar-5150>Mesa cab>57 and Beyer Dynamic mc834 each on a different speaker.

Bass-Ampeg svt-3 pro with Ampeg cab>Re20 mic

Drums are real overheads and slate samples on the skins. I did blend like 4 samples for the snare though.

Tried to glue the mix a little better with some verbs and stuff....

This mix has a few db mid scoop on my Finalizer.

The vocals sound a little loud on my laptop.

 

[Josh Burgess]

Couldn't hurt turning the vocals down just a little bit, but they aren't distractingly loud.

Sounds extremely good to me...

dude i hate you

 

[Joshua Wickman]

I like you!

Yea I think i got the guitars sounding better now and Ryan is taking a stab at some reamps as well for fun. Should have a few more mixes soon.

Oh i should have mentioned I only did a high pass at 60hz and a low pass at 10k. No other eq in that first mix on guitars and now I did a few cuts and it really opened the mix up more i think.

Seems a little bit lifeless and need some glue. I can really recommend you trying Slate VCC. I bought it and used it for my last project. Really thought it added some glue in a nice way.
And i feel that the drums are a bit loud. Not digging the snare and the kick, but i guess that is a matter of taste. But im not a fan of Slate's sample stuff.

But good job nonetheless

agreed on all counts with crilleman.

very sterile and no vibe broski!!!!!!

i feel like i'm listening to this in an anechoic chamber almost....

GLUE IT AND SMEAR IT IN MUD AND FILTH!!!!!!!!!!!

tone is pretty sweet tho =D

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Thanks guys thats what i needed to hear.

low pass at 10k might be a little to much, guitars sound dull. drums sound good tho, maybe some reverb for the vocals and guitar they kinda sound to.. i dunno to live? or in a completely different room than the drums i dunno just my thoughts, i really like it tho just needs a bit more life! song was pretty sick to

whats the band called?

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Yea i'm trying some weired stuff with verb on the guitars and stuff for fun. I will post a new mix in a second. The band wanted more bass guitar as well, or i should say the bassist wanted more bass guitar.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Tried some different stuff. Any better?

this is fucking shredding man, nice job

 

[brianhood]

I was only joking!


Is this just a quick demo or is it a full length for the band?

The only reason i ask is because the choppy breakdown at the beginning is a little sloppy, which is totally unlike you haha!

 

[Joshua Wickman]

One song demo.

This was a super rush job and it killing me now when i hear it.
