Hey guys, first post here :D

This is my attempt...any advice? I'm very new to this.

Thanks for the feedback. :)
Actually, I've been mixing this using small i-pod style headphones, on 2 different systems: desktop with USB interface, and notebook at work, each with a different sound.
But I'll try monitors to check for lows - without having them too near the corners. Let's see.

Here's another improved file, with less SSS on the vocals:

It's a good mix. Solid drums - and I like loud cymbals, but maybe you could try reducing the high boost in the overheads and room chanels a little. It might clean the mix up a bit - and then work from there.

Nice improvement. It's still a little light on the bottom. If you don't mind me asking do you have your monitors near a corner?

Finally got a chance to mix on monitors, and I see what you mean. The whole mix was lacking lows.:rolleyes:

Here's a mix with monitors:

It came out a bit dark. Find new version bellow.

Thanks for the tip!

Hi,

The vocals are way to overprocessed(compression???) , they sound like a "computervoice" (exaggerated). The overallmix is kinda dull cause there is too much going on at the bass and low mids. The kick could be turned down a bit. Guitars are good , drums are good ...

Good mix except the few points !

Only things I can think of are the toms are a bit weak, and overall tone is a bit low-mids heavy but definitely nowhere near the muddy-regions.
Also the vocals could be more present, they are loud but not that clear.
A cut in the low mids would sort that out, maybe also with a small high-mid boost.

You did the guitars nice for the last section, nice and smooth. Mine are a bit more grizzly, but I cant be feked changing it. :)

Overall nice job man,
Eck
