The rythm guitar is 12db to loud. The bass is 9db to loud.
tube warmed crunch rythm guitar does not have to be LOUD to be powerful. The natural sonic characteristics of tube crunch guitar make it powerful at any volume, that's why they invented it.
How loud the guitar is a decision your listener makes when they turn up the volume on thier system.
Your vocals are buried, stepped on and worthless with this mix.
You deserve better, we deserve better, the song deserves better.
Any geek can smear reverb all over a vocal and slam crunch guitar on the lead vox ...
Don't cheat us on the vocal.
HEADROOM, you have none.
Meters, you aren't looking at them.
Reverb you are using to much.
Review others mixes and learn.
I wouldn't spend any time on you at all if you didn't have talent and promise.
drop all the instruments to levels that you think are absurdly quiet, take all the effects off the voice and start from there.
Every move you make from that point forward, justify it.
I can't go anywhere with this mix, because there is nowhere to go. You need a starting point for us to make suggestions from.
Welcome to the board.
