I hear some of the bass ones, it's basically during same changes or the chorus where our bass player is playing harder. I'll see if I can compress it a little more. I think that's a lot of the kick issues too you're right. The vocals are just in a few places, usually when our singer...

LOL so basically the entire song. :)

Yeah that's just gonna be a pain to go through and find all the peaks, but I think you're probably right, that's the best way.

From what I have, just take up the amount and maybe lower the attack?

I suck at doing the vocals, I can never seem to get it right. Ok I compressed them a bit more, take a listen. I also threw some more reverb on the cymbals to try to take out the dryness, and took the snare down a bit. Here are my compressor settings for the vocals, if it still doesn't sound...

Thanks guys appreciate the comments on the playing, it's actually my band, not just me. We did 11 songs for this CD we want to finish, so I'm just trying to find the right balance and apply it generally to all the songs for a start. Yeah I thought the drums might be a little loud, I do have...

Just want to get an idea of what needs to be fixed in this mix, comments, etc. Sometimes after I listen for so long, my ears just become mush. :) Thanks guys. http://www.vhlinks.com/media/left_for_dead.mp3

Well I did some things to it after hearing the advice from here last week, is it sounding any better? Thanks! http://www.vhlinks.com/media/Deaf_&_Blind_3.mp3

Guitars were actually done on my Pod XT, all dry, no effects, so there won't be any room ambiance at all. I do have a subtle reverb on there, but I guess it's just not enough for anyone to notice. LOL. It seems when I bring the lows of the kick up I lose the clarity of it, but I'll keep...

I thought the vocals were hot myself, the other guys liked them, I think I'm gonna turn them down. The kick I tried something new, I don't like it either. LOL, I'm putting it back the way I had it. I turned the highs up, just to try and it was a mistake. I kinda don't mind the drums too...

Well I tried a few things last night and after I read the comments today. Is this even the slightest bit less-boxy? http://www.vhlinks.com/media/Deaf_&_Blind_test2.mp3

LOL kinda funny that our drummer, who quit which is why I have to mix this thing, is a recording engineer, so we did everything in a nice studio with real expensive mics...or so I was told. I've kinda gotten forced into mixing this thing, since he's gone, so I'd at least like it to sound pretty...

Thanks for the feedback. Any suggestions to fix that boxy issue?

Hey guys, Just wanted to get your thoughts on this mix for my band's demo I'm working on. I am pretty new at all this, so just trying to see if I'm even on the right track. Don't be too hard on the bad singing or playing, I'm more interested in the sound than anything. :) Thanks...

Well I re-mixed parts of it, raised the bass, re-panned some of the drums. So see if you hear any difference. http://www.vhlinks.com/media/run_from_you1.mp3

Yes well I'm from the Eddie Van Halen school of guitar playing, so I still find enjoyment in the great stuff he does/did.

Yeah I haven't gotten around to re-mixing it yet, it's still the same file. I thought I did pan the cymbals pretty wide, but I'll look at them too. The click track is really the drums, since they were done with fruity loops, they're in perfect time. If there are timing issues other than maybe...

Yeah the bass is too low, when I raised it, it tended to "boom" too much so I just left it alone. I think I'll have to re-EQ it. I agree on the clean guitar, it is too loud. I can sort of hear your timing issue, my playing may have gotten off for a tick here or there on the clean. I...

Interesting feedback, yes the clean guitar is detuned, I did have a fair amount of flange going. Probably why you sense a real phase shift I guess, because my guitars don't have intonation problems. All professionally set up. I'm sure I finger tapped in there once or twice, is that taboo or...

Just wanted to you get your guys' take on this song I've been working on. I did it at fist as just a demo for my band members to get an idea, but I actually want to try to get a good mix out of it. So let me know what you think. No vocals, and I'm not the world's great bass player either...
