Thoughts on this?

[Salty™]

So, I'm sort of new here. I've only opened one other thread and the mix I posted was pretty awful... I don't know what I was thinking hahaha. I'm pretty satisfied with this, though. My band wants to drop this song Monday but I wanna make sure this mix sounds good first. Let me know what you think of it, what I can improve upon, etc.

EDIT: Here's the Dropbox link, I figured I might as well get one. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39818088/Iodine Aftershave.mp3

I can't tell how loud it is due to the fact that Soundcloud limits songs now, so it's not as loud as the actual file. Guitars sound a bit out of tune on some parts, and the tone is a little cheap sounding. Vocals sound pretty good as well as the drums, overall not bad for a first-ish mix.

 

[Salty™]

Ahh, had no idea SoundCloud did that, that makes sense now haha.
What do you mean by "cheap sounding?" I'm not offended or anything, I just don't know what that means.

[Salty™]

Fixed, my bad lol

 

[kontroldkhaos]

the link dont work

 

[Salty™]

Okay, hopefully this one does. If not then I've got no clue what to do lol.

i had to listen to it through my head phone since everyone is asleep, i think it sounds pretty good at least it does in my cans.will listen again later for sure..i like the song...but at the end maybe try a fade out so its ending isn't so abrupt

 

[Salty™]

Yeah, we may end up switching up the ending a bit because I want to get rid of the last chorus as a whole. And thanks!

 

[kontroldkhaos]

your welcome.if you get a chance rate my mix i posted if you got a couple minutes

 

[morten.nu]

I think it's cool. And loud.

 

[Salty™]

Haha thanks ^^^
kontrold: I'll check it out tonight when I get home.
Anyone else? Opinions? I'd like to make sure it's as good as it can be before we post it.

edit: used the wrong word! derp!

guitars sound a little muddy in the low mids. you could take a bit out and maybe then push the guitars a little louder if you wanted.

 

[Salty™]

Did some more work to it. I took your advice, Firaxis.
How's it sound to you guys?

This is what I meant by cheap. Do a cut around 500-600 and you should be good to go.

 

[Firaxis]

sounding much better, maybe the guitars could be louder now though?

I can't really say too much more since I'm digging a pretty scooped mid sound atm, don't think that would fit with the style of music haha!

If anyone is interested in hearing the mix I ended up using, my band released the song Monday. www.facebook.com/notesofasiren - on our BandPage, it's called Iodine Aftershave.
Not asking anyone to "like" our page or anything, just check out the mix
