Wanted to throw this out there to see what the consensus is with this mix. It's a song I'm already pretty serious about completing with the new techniques and equipment I have now.

I'm having a hard time with a Freq. meters in Sonar with them displaying I have too much sub bass going on even through I've ran a highpass of everything below 50Hz both on all tracks and as a master fx plug twice through a parametric. Is the bass going crazy on anyone else's systems?

Also anything standing out too much or not enough I would appreciate any feedback on as well. Thank you in advance for listening.

Song is called Deathgrip.

:cool: The bass is there but it's not defined much. i.e. I can hear/feel it but notes don't pop out much. The sub bass doesn't seem to be a problem....
 
sounds pretty good to me. Boom is too strong on the kick for me. Personally I would tame it back a touch. And agreed on the bass guitar, it could use a little bit more definition. But overall I liked it. Is there a plan to add vocals?
 
I like your tone and the balance of the instruments. It sounds pretty good.

I'd balance the acoustic guitar from the the intro towards the middle. It's too important a part of the mix to cloister away by itself over there. Also, having it over there drives the rest of the mix really far right.

There was a bit of a hiccup right as the distorted guitar first comes in. You might want to smooth that out a little.
 
I think is good, but for my liking, the drums are too buried in reverb/room. The acoustic in the first part doesn't relate with the rest of the song in therms of level and room sound and I would put it in the middle. Seems like it was recorded in a whole other room that the drums. Also double the distorted guitar and panned them R/L to have better stereo image.
 
not a bad combination of acoustics and electrics, quite interesting. Drums have too much reverb on them, snare has little definition because of that. Song seems to lack a little low end. Are you gonna have vocals on this? Seems to beg for them....:cool: I agree with doubling the gits and panning them, it'll sound fuller in the heavy parts.

Nice tune. Drums are too verby, and the beat is a little odd in the begininning to me. Some of the acoustics strumming is popping out at me a little too much...perhaps a little more compression to tame them. Not bad though. Looking forward to hear it completed.
 
I don't mind the reverb on the kit. I just don't like the sound of the snare. I think the reverb suits the style. Maybe pull the reverb back a tad and sample the snare. I only say that because the kick and the toms sound sampled.

Deathgrip is a good title, pulls you in. Yup, definitely needs some vox. I agree with VHSteve on the panning of acoustic. Agree with others about the snare. It kind of kills the mood of the song.

Good job, look forward to hearing the completed version...

Peace.
 
Hey,

I took a third listen.

What did you use to sample the toms? The snare just doesn't match the rest of the kit. If you can I would try to brighten up the hat too.

Get some vox in this thing!
