rock / indie kind of band

finished tracking today, so not really a "mix" yet. need to reamp guitars still as these are pretty nasty podfarm guitars right now.

LOTS of natural snare in this one, just some sample reinforcement on the heavier bits. toms were samples unfortunately due to old skins

looking forward to mixing this one properly, but some feedback so far would be cool as my ears are pretty shot!

EDIT: newer version with reamped guitars. 6505, green channel, sm57, mesa cab

Dude, this is awesome. I'm listening on my earbuds at work but I think it sounds great. I like the chimey guitar sound you have. Very Vox AC-30ish.

 

[eternally_gutted]

def it sounds great. stoked to listen the final mix. some info about distortion guitar tone? really good for pod farm.

updated with a newer version with reamped guitars. sorry about the clipping, its not a final or anything yet, just a quick version for now.

guitars are 5150 on green channel, just at the point where they break up. wanted to keep things quite clean on this.

thoughts?

guitars in the pod version were that lower gain mesa amp, cant remember the model. didnt spend long on the tone other than getting the nasty mids out.

Cali Crunch? with the default cab/mic when you load the amp?
thanks and i´d appreciate your answer.

 

[Machinated]

yeah cali crunch, cant remember anything else with it other than i eq'd it quite a bit to get it sounding better.

the guitar, pickup and playing had more of an impact on the sound!

I was a bit nervous when I saw that you used a 5150 for this song but you still managed to keep that feel. Nice work. Love the drum sound as well. The only thing I would say is that the intro vocals sound a bit muffled but I don't know if it's more performance or mix related.

haha used such "metal" guitar stuff on this, so had to be so careful not to end up with metal sounding guitars....

used a prs with an emg81, 5150, mesa cab, 57. ive just tweaked the mix some more, will upload soonish.

new mix uploaded

dropped the drums down a bit, as i noticed similar bands in the genre have the drums a bit more in the back....not sure if i prefer it

 

[Scott Horner]

I'd vote to bring the drums back up, personally. The get buried a bit.

 

[Machinated]

updated the mix very slightly, some more feedback on it would be really great

Blow mix

OK, another new mix - obviously its pretty different to most of the stuff posted here but some more feedback from you guys would be sweet

 

[dcb]

ed, id deess the vox, they are very harsh from time to time.
the rest of the mix is cool, gels pretty well, though id love a little more "in your face" quality when the drums kick in. not sure if its the drums are very low,
even for this kind of music.

 

[xthecavemanx]

what band is this ?

 

[Folkrav]

Honestly I feel bad for criticizing this mix. I'd only say like dcb, deess the vocals a bit, the sibilants are really upfront, and maybe bring the guitars a dB or 2.

 

[Machinated]

cheers for the feedback guys, totally agree on the sibilance. just got back from ibiza so just worked some more on the mix now.

Blow Mix Updated

any more opinions? really appreciate the comments as obviously this is stuff is very different to what most guys are posting here.
