Something new off my current record

[AKoppenheffer]

Hey everyone, I always like reading people comments on here and try to add some input as well. This is a new record I'm working on. One of the local bands I've worked with once before. See what you think. The snare I had a little bit boosted around 5k but upon returning to the session after this bounce, I turned it back down. It was poking out a little too much I think. But yeah, enough rambling... Enjoy.

The song is called "Stylicious". We still have some gang vocals and clean singing to do as well.

the first 30 seconds of the song I thought I was listening to August Burns Red. I think the overheads could come down a bit, and maybe bring the vocals up a hair. Sounds pretty good to me! very natural sounding. I dig

Haha, you don't gotta tell me... I told them it's basically "Composure". So they tried to change it up a little bit. Thanks for listening!

Give that snare some 200hz man!

Guitars a mega honky too man, kill the mids a bit!
The vocals will sit loads nicer then.

Just curious what speakers you're listening on... To me at least, I think the snare has nice low mids. It's slate snare with a some top end added. As far guitars, I always liked a mid forward sound, but since you mention it, it may be a little over bearing. Thanks for chiming in.

Really shit ones that I know ridiculously fucking well
This entire mix sounds pretty thin man. Everything above 5khz sounds really overpowering.
Reminds me of some of my old mixes. I was being too brutal with thinning things out in an effort to reduce mud but it was affecting my mixes really adversely.
The snare sounds like you've high-passed any sort of chunk and thickness out of it and the kick has very little meat to it, it's all click.

The snare has a nice character to it, don't get me wrong, I agree. It's just that there isn't ENOUGH of the low mids. The whole mix seems generally focused around the high mids and it's really fucking piercing.

Agreed w/everything this man is saying!
