Deep

Clean big chords, like the secondary doubling stereo right, sounds like it's EQ'd a touch higher ? Vocal is mixed very well, on top, but not obtrusive, inbetween door #1 and #2, excellent for this genre ! I'm learning ! When the wailing guitar comes in at 1:04, it does so 'under the vocal' wow, great mix ! Drums are mixed well, and sound good, snare has a good whack, and some character also. Cymbal metal is not overdone, has good ring without 'frying' ... At 02:21, I can generally 'understand every word', performance pronunciation weakens towards the end, but it's still there, and the level on the vox is 'there'. The solo guitar at 02:41 is cool, it could have more low-mid, which would give it more punch, and you could definitely give it 2-4db more. Great singing, I mean great. I don't hear a lot of kick, and the bass and the bottom end of the guitar is so well mixed with the bass, there's very little seperation.

Guitars, same comments as in 'Deep'. Vocal a little more understandable. As 'Deep' , the entire mix is screaming for 'mastering', seek comments from The Ghost of FM on making this puppy hot as
a firecracker 
. Backups are well-placed at 1:10, and well mixed, like they are a secondary lead, very nice and again at 1:26, well-done on the backups. Running the vocal track throuh an enhancer like 'Soundforge' enhancer. *Fuck-Backups* at 2:02 off the tail-end of your hair-raising vocalization there are excellent. You have got the backup vocal mix-technique pegged here. Guitar and pinches very well performed. I need more bass generally, experiment with EQ here. I was going to say to craft a quick outro after the spoken part, but I like the molasses dripping ending. Yeah , cool.

The technique of starting a mix with the guitar stranded at 3:00 right, and then bringing another in at 9:00 precise is very, very difficult to pull off, just bringing them in a few hairs towards center makes this whole thing much, much more effective. Or starting them near that point, and panning them inwards or outwards. To let them stay there is problematic, because we don't really 'hear' just like that ... IMHO. And when the vocal comes in, I'm finding this guitar mixing technique a bit repetitive as we've heard it before. As you are heavily in the genre througout, you've got to really throw a different mix at us here at this point. Cool beast voice at 01:40. Just for kicks, triple the beast voice, stick one hard right at -9db, one near the center at -3db, and one hard left -12db, and then experiment with subtle amounts of 'different' effects on each. IMHO. And that is different enough where it qualifies as 'different' mix, it's up in our face, direct center ... geez your breath stinks kind of thing ...
Generally the guitar solo is well-mixed, it rises above the mix, but does not enter into the vocals territory, good headroom development on the whole mix. Dude, your mixing abilities are excellent. I look forward to improvements in other MP3 clinic member's mixes from your reviews ... sorry I can't do a lot for yours except praise

Drums are very verby generally in the beginning. Bass is missing some of it's lowest frequency components, IMHO. I don't have a great ear for the bass mix yet, that's one of my weak spots. What you are doing with your guitars throughout is the MOST effective use of the BALLS to the wall guitar I have ever heard on this board ... with respect to preserving the vocal mixes integrity. If you could concentrate on teaching that one single technique through review and sharing how you did this ... a lot of posters are gonna rock harder, and harder. You have a lot of room in all these tunes for experimentation with effects, solid, solid track performances. Good signals, clean performance. And then there's mastering. At 03:00, here's something very different, the snare is to loud here, slather it in verb and delay ... pan those backups out around the instruments, not the other way around, and when real words start forming, then bring the vocals inside, the instruments outside, do an inversion sandwich. And what I'm saying, is you have something very, very different here, and that can hook us in this EP, so ... make something very different mix-wise of this section. Great picardy third ending ... and that little whatever 'ring-buzz' at the very ending, irratating as hell hook that could hurt, but it does not, very good ! I'll never forget that last sound therer ...

Ok, I've got left guitar close to center, and more active with 'the riff' and right guitar out about 2:00 o'clock, and I like that, the guitars could come down a tad in the vocal, and this is really an opportunity for mix differentiation. Hey, is that 'Grouch' from sesame street as a guest vocalist at 01:07 ? I like ... 'Grouch' is always so difficult to get along with ... but put him in some headbanging rock and he fits just right ! I hope he didn't litter the stage with his favorite garbage. And then yelling cusswords from deep in his garbage can ... tsk, tsk ... nice use of a 'super-plate' for flanging there ? kewl. Dude, I'm exhausted, nice show ! Thanks for sharing and WELCOME TO THE BOARD !
