Tips on this mix.

[Scott Horner]

Doing some demos for a band and wanted to get some opinions on where this mix is headed. This is the first mix I've done and my ears are shot from listening all day. Deetz are as follows:

-Drums are 100% real, only kick and snare partially replaced. First time mixing real drums.
-Guitars were PRS Custom 24 through a Roland JC120 for the cleans and Lecto for the distortion, probably reamp with my triple rec.
-Bass was tracked by me, still waiting on the bass player to send tracks
-Vocals were recorded through AT4040 into my Pro 40

Budget is ridiculously low (basically just paid for tracking) so I'm trying to get them the best sound within reason. Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks! And I went back and forth with the bass level a few times before finally settling on that. I may boost it up just a bit and see how it feels. Anyone else?

the vocals remind me a lot of Maynard James Keenan, nice!

Thanks, Dan! It's actually the singer from this band, if you ever listened to them.



It's his new project. Good stuff.

This sounds really good. I dig.... wait, the verses are great, the chorus is not that good.

Bass could come up, and the high vocals part sounds super weird with the lower harmony. Octave harmony I'm guessing. change the comp setting on lead vocals
