Some Brutal Stuff (Mesa DR; Ampeg; DW)

[Soundlurker]

As far as I know guitars are Mesa Dual Recto into Mesa cab (not sure which one), bass is an SVT3 into svt 4x10" and drums are a DW set.

I'm only responsible for mixing/mastering but nevertheless I'd like some opinions as it's not exactly the kind of sound I'm typically after.

I know it's too bright, a bit scooped and the bass is to high but the first isn't an issue as the song is for myspace only and you can hear that (Myspace link and the other 2 are how the band wanted it. The toms are replaced with Andy's samples, the rest is all natural.

I'm not liking the guitars, they sound like pure fizz to me. Drums sound good except for the snare. The kick could also use some more mids.

Yeah that's how the guitar player wanted it, I only agreed because it's going to myspace. I don't like that kind of tight-skin snare, myself but again they insisted on this. With some bands it's pretty hard to make them happy without making more compromises than you'd like.
