Heard it after uploading and I think guitars+ overheads need to come up and I need to scoop some of that ~400-600 range out of the guitars as well.

Tell me what you guys think!

You are right on the overheads. Especially the ride gets really lost.
The guitars sound fine to me, but they could also come up a bit.

Point noted! Thanks for checking it out, appreciate it!

I don't think the OHs need to come up. Toms are a little too quiet though. That's really the only stand out issue IMO.

After listening to Almah's new video, seems like all the drums are a little loud in this lol but sounds great except the levels based on that haha, for you to decide really. I've heard so many types of mixes lately. I agree that with the intensity of the snare & other drums (which is excellent), the toms are a little low. Guitars are pretty smooth/perfect balance. Everything in this gels together for my taste. I'd get the bass up in the mix a little, but that's what I like (and fear this wont translate to a lot of stereo systems/iPods/etc because of the top end of the bass is absent/bass is a little dull sounding...but not overblown/it's safe from being too much but may be too little...just some observations). I have no trouble listening to this over and over, so great direction/almost perfect.

Yeah, I think they lacked slight punch compared to the kick and snare as well. Will post an update soon!

Thanks! I think generally the low end in the mix was on a slight backburner and it needs a little push to bring the thump out. Will post an update soon!


Thanks for listening and sharing your opinions!
