Side note: If you guys are interested in keeping an eye on this band (I think they have potential..), they're called Me Like Bees (
.com). You can also watch a little vid I produced of them (incl. a 'live' performance) at
www.youtube.com/melikebees.
I like the music, cant hear the vox in some spots, the mix may be a bit thick in the lo-mids, but overall sounds pretty good. Thanks for posting it.
I was afraid of that (buried vox). With the first mix of a different song, the band thought the vox were way too loud. So ever since then, I've been working on keeping them low to kind of mesh with the music instead of stand out on their own (I think the style kind of calls for this).. but maybe I'm getting a tad too close.. perhaps they should come up another dB or so.
As for the low-mids, yeah, I can see that too. I did kind of want the sound to be a little "warmer" with this style so I may have boosted the low-mids a hair on the master bus.
I appreciate you listening and for giving me some feedback!
Geez dude, this is good all around. Great sound and from what I can tell great engineering, too. The vocals are the weakest link, not the parts themselves but sometimes they fit oddly in the mix.
I like the guitar sound. You did a good job getting the Arcade Fire type rock guitar. The beginning vocals sound Radioheady, so how can that be bad?
Nice
Thanks for the compliment! Yeah.. I need to work on getting those vocals fitting in there better. I pretty much just let them do what they want with their guitar sounds... just slapped a 57 in front of each of their amps. If I were to change anything, I may go for a tad less distortion.
I appreciate your time and feedback!
And I don't know at what point I would be "breaking the rules" for this forum.. but this was recorded at my school's studio.. so not exactly a "home studio".
But this is my go-to place for advice on a mix.. I haven't ever posted one at Gearslutz.. maybe sometime I will try that place out.
