Mix Update

Your mix started out sounding great with just the guitar but when everything else came in you lost all the guitar and it got buried in the mix. It was also kinda heavy on the bottom from that point on and I could hear the compressor pumping about halfway through the song during one of the verses.
 
I was gonna play with this over the weekend. I downloaded the .aif files but when I tried to import into SONAR it says that the files are not compatable with my current project settings. I'm set up for 44100 sampling rate with a bid depth of 16.

Supwiddit?

I am interested in the pumping you hear. Please point to a time and section.

They are 24 bit.
 
Heres my newest mix.
I took Sonixx advice and mixed the song how I want it to sound like rather than what other people want it to sound like. I was kinda caught up in the competition part of it rather than going with my mixing instincts.

So I have made a more commercial sounding mix by cleaning up the mix by taking out alot of the low mids and using less low end also.

Critique very welcome and especially from Sonixx. :)

How do you feel about it?

If you had mixed it for me, I would be happier with this than your previous.

I this case, you should only mix for yourself since you do not have a client for influence. :)

I do feel a lot happier with this mix although I can hear harsh distorted guitars which I will be tweaking.

Thanks, I took good info from you.

I think I got feedback from NL5 from my first quick mix saying that the band were not into the whole polished sound, so I changed my style to try and suit what the "client" wanted.
But I'm glad you critiqued my mix cause you gave me the confidence to make it sound closer to how I want it to sound.

Good luck with your mix.

It was pumping starting at 1:43 into the song but check this out as to why.

When I first listened to your mix I chose the streaming option and it played it using the windows media player. That's what I made my comments off of.

When you asked me for a time and section, I downloaded the mp3 and played it on another player and I was a bit shocked at the difference. The part at the beginning where I was hearing the guitar getting lost sounded fine and also there was no pumping.

Has anyone else using wmplayer noticed this?

I was thinking the difference was because of the streaming vs. the mp3 but to verify it I opened the mp3 with the windows media player and bam, the same garbage. The windows media player is adding some type of compression on playback and it sure sucks. So in retrospect, sorry for the first critique.

After listening to your song on the other player I can only say that I hope to be able to do as well. That mix rocks, great job!

This won't play for me for some reason I'm thinking it's corrupted. It also might be your use of the dash - in the file name, some coding will see that as a delimiter, or not :)
