I'm just not happy with it, finding a decent bass tone and then getting the right balance between the drums and guitars is a fucking nightmare.

HALP!

everything sounds good to me, im hearing alot of sub lows though, is that the bass gtr or kick? sounds good on my monitors though, might be the subs that is causing you to not like the balance

Thanks for the feedback dude.

Yeah its a pretty low bass. Its the usual one grit track, one low DI track.

I use Alesis m1 active mk2 monitors, which are quite bassy anyway and I mix in an untreated room so I'm constantly swapping between monitors, headphones and pc speakers to try get it right!

that doesnt sound bad to me, I like lowend, but guitars sounds thin to me

 

[jagarock]

agree, guitar sounds thin.
btw, is it a weak splash cymbal or a very loud hihat we are hearing in the second part? i couldnt tell if its a cymbal it sounds a bit smooth

which bit do you mean man? I think its a hihat if I'm thinking of the right part

I think the kick could stand to come up a little bit. The guitars could use a little more low-end, and could stand to sit higher in the mix.

Thanks man, I'll work on it.

I've already boosted the bass on the amp a lot but what else would you suggest to beef them up a bit?
