    2 Nine Inch Nails inspired tracks. How did they come out?

    I've always wanted to do stuff like this. One is a bit harsh and the other is very mellow. https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/a-passionate-crime https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/where-do-we-go-from-here

    Is this mix too compressed?

    I decided to go back and make one more mix before I record vocals this weekend. I know you're probably tired of hearing the same song over and over again... I'm sorry. I just want to make sure I'm on the right track. Here's the new mix: https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/rs-5116-test-13

    Is this mix too compressed?

    I was able to do some extensive work on this today. I think I've made a lot of progress. I really think I nailed the sound I was hoping to get out of this. This is going to be the last update for a while since I will be tracking vocals. Thanks for all of your advice guys, it really helped...

    Is this mix too compressed?

    Noted! Thank you. That compression is kicking my ass! I'll go back at it this weekend and try some new stuff. Maybe I'll try a different compressor. Right now I'm using the Ozone 5 maximizer. I'm pretty sure there are better plug-ins out there. I'll do some digging.

    Is this mix too compressed?

    What exactly do you mean extreme high end? Should I boost my highs on the whole mix? Or are you thinking of something more specific like the guitars or overheads?

    Is this mix too compressed?

    I know it's been a while but I think it's finally starting to take shape. I was this close (pinches fingers together) to scrapping the project because I didn't think it had a future for me. But I think I like where it's going now. I still have a lot of work to do but I think the worst is...

    Is this mix too compressed?

    Thanks for all the replies, guys. If you've seen some of my other posts, you'd probably know that drums are not my strong suit. I've never been able to get them right on any song that I've done. I always have some kind of trouble. Usually EQ. I am using EZ Drummer since I don't have a kit and I...

    Is this mix too compressed?

    Here's an updated mix. I changed a bunch of stuff. Mostly just what you guys pointed out. I think the kick may be a bit buried now, though. Maybe I've just been at it for too long. Anyway, I hope I fixed the issues that were sticking out. https://soundcloud.com/stat1stick/rs-5116-test-5

    Is this mix too compressed?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I started work on the problems last night and I've already made a lot of progress. I backed off the compression on the mix bus and it already sounds a lot better. I also tackled the muddy mids by cutting the bulk of the frequencies that the guitars are using on the...

    Is this mix too compressed?

    I started working on this project on Sunday and I have been working with my new software and gear now that I have relocated. This is the first real attempt at recording that I've done in over a year. I'm curious about the compression on the mix. Feedback on the mix itself is also welcome...

    All In My Head [Nu Metal/Hard Rock] Mix and Production feedback appreciated

    Thanks for listening, Vomit. I tracked the vocals 3 times and they are all layered. I did this instead of using a chorus effect or a doubler because I like the sound of multiple tracks instead of a plug-in effect. I admit that I may or may not have been under the influence while performing...

    All In My Head [Nu Metal/Hard Rock] Mix and Production feedback appreciated

    Thanks for listening! I'll work with that 1k and see what happens. You know, I posted this song here before and it wasn't liked very much but I'm almost positive that it was because of the multiband compressor. I had it smashing everything to bits and all of the tones weren't coming through...

    All In My Head [Nu Metal/Hard Rock] Mix and Production feedback appreciated

    I've been working on this song for quite a while now. I've never been able to get the mix where I know it could be. I just moved to Dallas and now that I have some free time, I decided to try again and see what I can do to make it sound better. I worked with the multiband compressor a lot to...

    Angel With The Scabbed Wings [Marilyn Manson cover] - Mix Feedback?

    Check this out: Angel With the Scabbed Wings - Dead to the World Tour VHS It's not a re-work. I did change the tuning, tempo and a few other things but that's about it.

    Angel With The Scabbed Wings [Marilyn Manson cover] - Mix Feedback?

    You know, I would have to agree with you. I've been listening and listening and I was always thinking that there was something off with the kick. It's now on my to-do list. Thanks for the feedback. I know that this song wasn't one of the singles from the original album but it was always...

    Rock type stuff...Advice please!

    If I can offer some production advice... In The Demon That I know, theres a line where you say "nowhere left to run". I really feel that there should be an echo after that. Maybe a lo-fi echo that sounds like it's off in the distance a bit. And I also feel that there should be some...

    Angel With The Scabbed Wings [Marilyn Manson cover] - Mix Feedback?

    Hey guys! I think I finally finished this one today. I started it back in July and just kind of stopped working on it. But, it's been eating at the back of my brain for a while so I decided to get it done once and for all. I'm pretty happy with the mix but I know there's always something...

    Mix and Vocal test [Industrial Rock/Metal]

    Yes, thank you. I extended the last note of the synth sound from the chorus and then automated the track to increase the volume by 100% on a slope. It worked really well and now I can't imagine the song without it. By the way, here's the .wav file in caseyou wanted to hear it in it's...

    Mix and Vocal test [Industrial Rock/Metal]

    Thanks for the suggestion! I decided to go with it and see what happened. It was a good idea. I finished up the vocals this morning and here's the finished song. I made some other tweaks here and there and I have to say that I'm very happy with this mix and master. In the beginning of the...

    Post hardcore mix – feedback much appreciated

    I really love this! The production is killer! The vocals sound really great on their own and add so much to the song. The guitar work is performed really well. The synth is well applied and is really nice to hear. The drums sound great. I use Addictive Drums myself but I've toyed around...
