How does this sound so far?

Mix sounds great ! Sounds like it could stay as is without vocals as it's such a strong intrumental. But I'll keep on the lookout for the vocals :-)

And please don't go reverbing it all up. I think the best reverb is the reverb you can't tell is even there.

Cool, I'll work on those guits. Don't worry about the verb. I'm not going to 1983 Springsteen it.

Thanx Ido. Yeah, I got to put vocals on it to really ruin it properly.

OK, changed the reverb and hopefully made the guitars a little zingyer....more zing....whatever.

MAD (no vox)

'ma-zing' is the term you're after...

Nice stuff. Tight as a nu.... erm.. something that's very tight...

Hey Rami. As said above - this is really tight - man you can drum! I think the rhythm guitars still sound a little dark, gives it quite a metal sound to my ears (not a bad thing!).

I don't know if you're mixing the drums any differently, but I'm finding the layout a little confusing, maybe just because I was concentrating on them - I know you play lefty and in the mix the hat's on the right and ride on the left, as from your perspective, but then a lot of the toms are down the right too. I guess you spread them right across the stereo width - because I was concentrating on your rolls, it was sounding like some of the toms are where the hat is.

Dunno if that matters or you care - I just noticed it is all. It still sounds great, was just a bit confusing while I was trying to work out how you'd mixed them; whether it was from yours or the audience's perspective.

Overall, sounds really good and I was just itching to hear some vocals - can't wait to hear the finished product.

Now that is a backing track! Sounds great here to me.

The drums and the bass are sweet. I really like the guitar tones, heavy Steve Jones (Pistols) kind of rhythm with a Brian May tone/style on the lead. Sounds great cranked up at volume. I'm sure my neighbours are currently enjoying this!

I'll be interested to hear the vocals. I like to hear a backing track first and have an idea of what I would like to hear over a track and then be totally surprised when I hear a finished product and the vocals are nothing like I imagined.

Top stuff!

Thanx Johny. I don't mic my toms, so they fall where they fall in the overheads. But, yes, you're right, I have one tom that's pretty much where the hi-hat is, spread-wise. Funny thing is, I probably only hit that tom in one of every 10 songs and I needed it in this one.

Thanx dude. I hope the vocals don't ruin it.

I have the lyrics written and I'm ready to record them. SHould have them done this weekend. Thanx man.

awesome mix and song RAMI! my 2 cents.. .

the kick drum sounds a little weak and its more of an EQ thing than a volume thing

AWESOME rush-like run at 2.09 and 2.14 ... very cool... waiting for that signature rush synth to break during that part haha.

Snare could use some EQ boost in the very highs to get some more sizzle of the snares

some of the lead guitar work could be fatter, maybe double tracked.

your mix sounds good as is, just my personal taste

**ChickenStomp** · 02-13-2013

I listened to it pretty loud and the reverb is kinda hard to pick up on, I think maybe it's the snare that's making it sound a bit dry, but I'm sure it will sound totally different and better with vocals.
