I'd like to hear what others think

[Jay C]

this is my latest mix. i don't think it sounds too bad, i know there are areas for some big time improvement but, still pretty new so i'd love a little advice.
it's a hard rock song called "sunset country disco"

Thanks all : )

 

[Bulls Hit]

Well it doesn't sound like any disco, country or otherwise, that I've ever been to. Mix sounds good to me. Guitar tones are good, everything's nice and tight. I am bereft of advice. Nice job

thank you man, i always love a kind word. still would really like someone to point out the suck for me. lol..

 

[DM60]

Well, not my style of music, but here is the suck. I couldn't find any suck.

Sorry dude, wish I could say something negative. You did a good job on this from my view.

 

[Dr.SpringReverb]

one negative thing would be that the mix sounds scooped
very few mids

 

[mjbphotos]

The guitar lead part (which is there until about 1:45) is too buried to be discerned well. Not my type of music, all I can suggest.

 

[Jay C]

yep, too scooped is right. now that you mention it i totally agree.

thanks mango.

The drums sound like a typewriter. And yeah, it's scoopy sounding. Pretty good guitar tones for the style. I like the growly bass too, just bring it up some. And fix those ghastly drums.

 

[TripleM]

Very good guitar playing. I thought the guitar tone was good for the genre. Bass sounded cool too.

I'll never understand programmed metal drums. I think the programming was good for the genre. But the machine gun stuff has just never appealed to me. anyway... The snare was a little slappy and slightly on the weak side.

Minor thing - but the fade at the end was kind of clumsy.

Overall a good job.

thanks Greg, always love to hear from ya. i agree about the drums i was already trying to make them sound beefier. i think some of those missing mids might help my cause also..
and thanks for the comment about the guitar tone, makes me feel good.. LOL.

thanks again dude.

thanks a lot man, the drums are done by my drummer using td9 and SSD4. i think we need to re work the sensitivity settings in the module. i don't think the fast kicks have to sound machineguny if we just add a little more dynamic range.. i think. LOL..

thanks for the reply , dudes like you are helping me be a better mix masta!!!

I love this site.
