This is another mix: please give your comments ;)



I'd like to make it sound like greenday/nofx/sum 41.


Any Tips?
 
Too much stuff around the middle. Things doesn't stand out separated enough imo. Pan some. I also have problems hearing the bass. Wich can be said about many elements.
Not my style of music/mixing object, so hard for me to compare it any good.
Keep it up.
 
I'd compress the vocals more. You seem to have the style down ok. The vocals are really not that great (even for punk ;)).

The kick could be a little more pronounced. Try adding some mids/highs. Guitars could use more bite.
 
Any tips on giving it more bite?


I use an XY with 2 Shure SM57's.
Pointed 45 degrees at the edge of the dust cab.


Amp: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier
Guitar1(2 channels panned left): Gibson Les Paul Studio
Guitar2(2 channels panned right): Ibanez Iceman
Cabinet: 4*12inch G-12T75 (1960-case)
 
Point one 57 straight at the middle of the speaker, on the grill, and the other 57 at a 45 degree angle pointing at the ring between the center of the dome and the cone. One speaker is enough.

A second option would be one 57 straight a the ring between the dome and the cone, and one 57 straight at the middle of the speaker a meter or 2 back.

XY is not really a great solution for this music because there is very little on-axis pickup. The highs burst out of the center of the speaker straight forward, totally missing the mics in an XY setup.
