Suggest on my Sports Tv Show Theme!

[Metal Overload]

Hey Fellas!

A friend of mine conduct a local tv show about sports and stuff, so he ask me if i can make and record a song for the show entrance and ending credits (he´s actually using my band´s material)

So i write this song and went to my friends studio to record it.

Suggestions on the mix are more than welcome, this is barely mixed and there are still a couple of guitar solos to do.

I wanted to make something like Satriani´s "summer song" vibe

Guitars are: LTD Laiho signature with EMG-H into 5150 and a Marshall 2x12, one sm57 into a focusrite isa one, then into a mixer channel and finally to the firepod.

Drums are natural, the kit is a mapex with evans heads but don´t rememeber the model. Snare is planned to be replaced, and maybe the kick.

Bass, a crappy yamaha with actives through sansamp psa-1.

What you guys would recommend us on this mix, i can´t judge the mix myself in home because i only have some crappy laptop speakers, so any help would be more than appreciated.

Hahaha, I love it dude, though the overheads (cymbals) are definitely too loud, and there's a little clipping going on - guitars sounds good, though a little cloudy, but that's probably the speakers, so I wouldn't change anything with them. Also, the snare might be too loud, though once you bring down the overheads (can't stress this enough), I think you'll be all set! And yeah, I can tell the kick is heavily eq'ed, so I'd replace it, though I don't mind the snare honestly, I think it works well here! Great job, and very rockin!

Thanks a lot Marcus, glad you like it!

I also think the overheads are loud, in fact they were louder at first, because there`s some cymbals leaking in the toms and snare mics, gotta fix that. thanks for your suggestions dude!

Hi man. That's a cool tune, but, i would prefer a brighter/more trebly rythm guitars.
But that's my opinion.
Hope you can put the song with solos, to feel if it has the energy enough.

Great job man!

Gracias Protoss, ahi vienen los solos!

Bumping!

 

[Metaltastic]

Oooh, and if you need a solo or two for it, by the way...

 

[Metal Overload]

Believe me i thought about that i really like your style, let me see if i can get the files, and if my friend haven`t done the solos himself, he`s good soloing too

Thanks dude, it's fine either way, but I'd love to!
