Remixing my EP (Axefx ultra, MF, Joey Sturgis snare)

[TheRealSam]

Hey guys!
So I basically lost a lot of my presets when I changed my computer and switched to Nuendo, so I need to re work on all of the tracks which are part of my EP. I just finished the mix and mastering of this one, so I'd like to have some feedback over it, and if it is any good, if there aren't too many things to change, I might keep it for the other songs.
Here are the links:

Man, so much of what goes on here as critiquing is all personal preferences..

I'd PERSONALLY like to have the guitars more at the front of the mix and the drums poking through. Not the other way round.

kronk_1985: I know what you mean but sometimes it can help me find something I wouldn't have noticed as my ears tend to get quite tired after some hours of mixing I've been listening to this song on different support (laptop, car, cellphone etc) and yeah you're definitely right, I'll do something about the drums being too loud, thanks

 

[TheRealSam]

Well nothing else ;__;? Any advice would be more than welcome!

I dig the drum sounds, love the hecticness of some parts of the song, the guitars do need to have more body to them, they seem too low mixed and thin, the chugs sound very harsh in the high mid region. definitely room for improvement, but diggin the sounds!

Logshreds: first criticism I get on guitar sound, and completely agree with you ^^ Truth is that I added an EQ directly on the Axe when I recorded them and added way too much mids :/ Problem is that I already recorded all of my EP with this guitar sound, and recording everything once again would take me ages, as I haven't played some songs for neary a year, and have litteraly a ton of other songs to record ^^ I'll try to improve that with a bit more EQing, already scooped a bit of the mids I had added, I will figure something out ^^
Thanks a lot for the advice

Sorry guys to bump this thread but I just updated the mix of this song, does it sound better to you? Or worse maybe? Please tell me ^^

 

[kronk_1985]

Never apologise for bumping a thread.

 

[kronk_1985]

There's something about that snare that just doesn't fit.. Its way too distracting. Not in a good way. Is it a blended sample? Or

 

[iarebrandon]

not sure why. but the hi hat kinda bothers me.

Hey guys, I'll have to apologize for both the late answer and the bump (^^), but I just spent quite a lot of time working on the drum as it seemed to be the main problem of the mix. I recorded a playthrough, with a whole new mix/mastering, mind telling me if it is better or worse?

kronk_1985: the snare comes from Joey Sturgis's samples, loaded through drumagog, it sticks out but I kinda prefer it to the SD and MF samples.

iarebrandon: I worked on that, is it better?
