I have only been recording for a month now. I've been struggling to get decent sounds, and I'm a bit drowning in all the information, but this is the first mix i'm kinda happy with.
This is basically as far as my knowledge can bring me, so now I think it is time to get people that know a lot more about mixing than me give me some pointers.
The song is 'Severed into Separates' by Darkest Hour. It is not at all meant to be an attempt to get as close as possible to the original. Its shorter and simplified for faster tracking. I just think the song fits the style I am aiming for, so I just use it as a vessel to test my own tone. Anyway if you really want to compare:
The drum is DFH. I found a gp5 file for the song and extracted the drum midi from it. Its decent, not perfect, but it beats programming the midi myself.
Guitars are mostly TSE 808, TSE X30, EQuality and some delay for the backing guitar.
Bass was played on guitar and pitch shifted down, then TSE BOD.
I used the X30 bc I recently bought an e530 so I wanted to see what can be done with it.
From what I can hear the biggest 'problem' right now is the bass kick and bass guitar, which are a tad too loud right now.
I would like to overhaul the whole drum sound, but I simply don't have the knowledge to do so. I've opened some SD2:TMF presets and it is so complicated... And off course I shoud look into a decent bass sound bc that pitch shifting thing is not perfect at all.
So what do you guys think?
