hidden shame..
intro guitar sound is excellent!..i like the drum groove in the intro too...bass drum needs to come up maybe when the lyrics start.?..
nice vocals...im not a fan of the rap/yell thing but you can hear that the vocals are good...why is it (and this asnt just you by anymeans),..that most of songs i hear in this genre..that the guitarist always sounds like Zakke Wilde??...lol...i mean its cool and all and i certainly cant get that sound...just an observation.
the overall sound is really pretty good.the snare might be a tad too loud...but thats my personal taste.....


very cool song!!!

boy~things just keep getting better and better on this forum. Great feel of space you created there. The only thing I couldn't hear very well was the bass, but I really dig the intro. Good work

Hidden Shame-Mint intro!!Well it's original, sorta...Got a FNM style to it.That intro/interlude is great!Music is really cool,not diggin' on the singer as much but it's only the first song.;)A little too long too.Guitar is weak in the mix.Drums a little sloppy at the end.

New Day -Yesssss.....Rock!!!Great opening riff!!!Gets a tad Cheezy in the chorus,but that stuff is commin' back full swing:DSome nice heavy elements in this one...it's missing some death metal vox mixed in there,Cool guitar solos!!

Complete Abandon-Another great crushing intro!!!:D.Strongest of the three,IMO.Pursue this style.In the more Dark Angel vien.Yea,this one sounds like a B side to an early DA single...if there ever was one put out,...?Isn't complete abandon a like,feminine type term(not trying to be funny.)?

Great riffs,needs work productionwise but the overall sound is on it's way.
 
W.I.S.C; when you say needs more work production wise, are you talking about the musicianship/song elements or the actual recording/editing/mixing? See, I am NOT the performer... this is a local band that I agreed to do recordings for. I have been "out of the loop" in regards to recording/mixing, etc for quite a while and am looking for suggestions on the recording/mixing side of things. I did very little in regards the playing/songwriting elements of these songs (I did help with some of the guitar solos/background vox ideas)

Thanks for the comments...keep em coming! :=)

FYI...here's what I recorded/edited/mixed all this with:

~ Drums were recorded on ADAT-7 tracks drums; 1 track scrath (rented)
~ Gtrs were recorded direct from my Tech21 amp.
~ Bass was recorded direct from players amp w/ slight compression from my el-cheapo Behringer AutoCom Pro(I really don't like the sound; but couldn't convince him to go direct)
~ Vox were all recorded with the el'chepo Marshall MXL2000
~ recorded into Samplitude (I only had it's built in effects to use)
~ Mixed on Yorkville powered monitors
~ mastered with T-racks
~ PC: 850Mgz AMD w/256M of Ram
~ M Audio Omni w/ Delta 66

I am currently putting together a new DAW based around SONAR and am planning on purchasing some decent plug-ins.
 
Anyone else have any advice on these mixes? Happy New YEar!

Hidden Shame.

Like everyone else, the intro sounds great, I like the drums too,
But to me its seems like the drums are panned out too far to each side.

If I were mixing this (which Im not of course) Id have the screaming vox panned hard left/right with longer delays, and the main guitars probably at 20/20 or 60/40...

But then again, Im a freak, and this is probably a better mix than I could come up.

Drums are nice, and you got a mint bass sound
 
demensia-

Thanks for your thoughts. I am hoping to get more into recording/mixing (I REALLY enjoy it :=) So I'm open to all thoughts on how to keep improving. No one has come out and said, "Man, you suck at this!" So I will keep working. Now, if I can just find some PAYING clients ;= ) LOL
