This is a recording of some of my band's most recent material. I worked pretty hard to get this mix, and I'm pretty proud of it, but I know there are just a ridiculously huge amount of things to work on. I've only been mixing "for real" for the last month or so, before that it was mostly fooling around with a four-track and whatnot.
Please don't bullshit me at all: I need as much feedback as possible, preferably both positive and negative/constructive so I can get better!
*Disclaimer: there are some things that need to be edited, specifically the drum beats in certain areas, and I'm aware of that. I just haven't gotten around to it, which is stupid 'cause it should've been one of the first things I did. Anyway, recording to a click for the first time is hard: give the guy a break
*edit: Things I need to fix that I'm aware of, but am not necessarily aware of how to fix:
- no matter what I do, I can't get the kick to stand out like it should
- I love the guitar sound, but I think the amount of midrange is killing other things like the snare, and there's certainly not much room for vocals
- I forgot to compress the cleans. Silly me...
- I don't really know much about using reverb. That's a problem.
*edit 2: are the low-mids/upper-lows missing? Should the bass guitar maybe take up those frequencies?
