Hey guys, I'd like to hear some feedback on this, if you can please.
I bought a new bass (Stagg) over the weekend and wanted to re-do an older track with it, as well as some other things i've picked up. The apparent issue this time around (always something new apparently) was splashy-ness from cymbals. I love that the room mics and other kit mic mics pick up the cymbals, but this usually leads me to having to turn down the overhead mic in the mix since it's also coming from the other mics. If i cut that loudest hz from the other mics (in the cymbal region), it starts to sound phased out. so, i ended up turning the OH mics down a bit, and barely notched out areas around 2.5-4khz, gently, on other mics. there's also a weird issue at 2:54 that doesn't sound so hot on the OH's...not sure what happened there. it might have been the exact combination of cymbals i used at that exact hit. i combed through the compressors and eq to see if something there was giving it that extra splash.
I've started to add some gain around 13khz with a wide q to the master...i know that's also affecting the cymbals, but the problem area of the cymbals was lower and the Q didn't reach that far. does this have enough "shine"? a comment on a previous track stated that the vocals needed some highs added.
edit: if someone can specifically comment on the pre-outro section (3:10-3:40), i'd appreciate it. i think it came together pretty well with the vocal overlays and delays - are they are clear to you? can you pick each one out specifically? there is a lot going on in that section...8 total guitars, bass, a kit smashing, and all those vocals). i'm wondering how that specific part sounds. thnx

I dont Think I've met, virtually or physically, a more typical sour and upset at the world "rock star". I know your type bud, I've played in bands with you and see you in every corner of the net... Lurking and waiting to spew out something to satisfy your anger! .
