Haha, thanks for the gratuitous compliments, I love you for them :-p My vocal fx chain was blockfish (compressor) -> delay -> reverb -> eq The delay was set to something pretty subtle, and I used Waves RVerb plate reverb with about 20/80 wet/dry ratio.

Hey, this sounds fun. let me know how I can help. I'd be down to contribute my vocals, guitars, bass, drum programming, mixing, whatever.

As a general rule, you know you have good source sounds when you are cutting more than you are boosting. It's not "always" that way, but it generally means that your source is producing plenty of frequency where it should be in the mix, and you are just trimming the fat.

Well, the guitars should sound somewhat thin and weak on their own. The idea is to get them to sound good in the context of the mix. Don't build your mix around making one element sound as good as possible. The idea is to get everything to fit together like a puzzle. If anything, the drums...

Basically he's saying that he is high-passing the guitars around 125, so that the only thing generating any low frequencies are the kick and the bass guitar. Generally when I EQ guitars, I start with a high pass around 100 - 125 hz, and a low pass from anywhere from 15k- 12k (depending on how...

You have a really good voice for this style of music. I hear Corey Taylor, the dude from Mudvayne (but not as nasally), etc. The drums need some work though. They have no body or power. And I can't really hear the bass guitar at all either. I can kinda feel it there, but it has no power...

Yeah. The instrumental doesn't change in a natural way when the vocals come in. The vocal delivery doesn't really flow very naturally and it's not very audible. Keep at it, you'll get there.

Work on the vocal performance. It's very obvious that auto-tune is yanking the vocals into key in multiple spots. Long sustain notes, and quick pitch chains are the most obvious. That's my biggest criticism. Other than that, I don't know the original song so I can't comment on how good of a...

the vocal performance is a little luke-warm at parts. It's not that you are pitchy. It's just that I'm not buying your performance. You sound quiet, timid, underwhelming. I'm listening to Escape, and the energy being conveyed in the vocal performance doesn't match the lyrics or mood of the...

Great job dude. Great vocal performance, good job on the mix. I agree with Greg, the drums are a little clicky and lack some body. Other than that, its a good mix.

Honestly the snare reverb sounds fine to me. Your snare sounds a little dark and pillowy though. Sounds like the transient is being crushed a little too hard.

Guitars were ESP Alexi 600 -> Nick Crow 7170 sim -> Recabinet Impulses Bass was some cheap pos -> TSE BOD plugin Vocals were me -> MXL V67 -> Toneport UX2 Drums were Steven Slate drums. (If anyone knows this song and wants to contribute actual drum tracks, that would be AWESOME :-D) Basically...

Too many lows on the kick, causing your mix to pump. The snare is waaay to compressed. Absolutely no smack on it at all. Pan your vocals more or less down the middle, and then double your rhythm track (as in record it twice, not just copy/paste it) and then pan one take hard L and the other...

This sounds like it was mixed on laptop speakers. Definitely high on the tinniness and the boominess. 1. Double that rhythm guitar part. Record it again and then pan each take hard to a side. DON'T just copy/paste it. Literally play it again, and do a good job of it. 2. Snare drum has no...

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys. Yeah I agree that the drums can be a little clickety. Before they had absolutely NO attack, and I think this time I went a little too far in the opposite direction. Here is another mix that I think is the best so far...

Well that last mix was pretty bad. I think this one is a little better... http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=27354

Hey guys, let me know what you think of this mix! It is for a song that will be on my band's album. I played the left rhythm guitars, did the vox, and the last little lead part over the last chorus. Drums are real, with toms/kick replaced and the snare is blended with another sample. Cymbals...

1. Rhythm guitars are too loud. They don't sound double/quad tracked and panned. it sounds like everything is fighting for space in the middle of the mix. You need to take advantage of the stereo field. I would suggest Recording your rhythm guitars two SEPERATE times. Make sure you play...

Dude, not to be a dick, but that riff in the beginning and the verse sounds a LOT like Slither by Velvet Revolver. Great job on the female singer. The drums sound a little distant but not terrible. The problem here are the guitars. This song needs some nice layered rhythm guitars. It sounds...

Well, given that all conventional recording advice I could give you would be deemed irrelevant, I'm not really sure what you want me to say. It sounds like all other black metal out there to me.
