Hey guys, we have been in the studio here lately ALOT!!!!!!!!!!! We are writing new stuff for up and coming shows and we really wanna get alot of ideas down on paper for our new EP. This is a song we came up with one night and just built on it. Tell me what you think!!! (btw i know the first thing is obvious the compression {limiter} on the overall mix is way too high... i had no idea of this when i mixed it down.. my room and monitors arent the best.) OH yeah.. can someone give me some advice on how to get the vox to sit better in the mix. We will prbly track alot of stuff over but this gives you an idea.

Thanks guys! :p

I'd say you need more compression on the vox myself, but bring down the overall volume of it. Also, the bass is pretty loud and could maybe use a bit of definition. Lastly, I think the split delay on the vox should be used a bit more sparingly, and taken off the OH's all together. It's kind of distracting, but that's a subjective opinion, so take it for what it's worth.

It sounds like a lot of potential. :D

edit - and if you can, please critique my mix.....
 
Thanks for your comment! Atleast ONE person listened lol....
 
apparently, b/c just like 2 months ago i posted something and it was swarmed lol..
 
Cool song, sounds great. Guitars and Vox are clean. As was said, maybe try to tame the vocals a bit, especially on the chorus. The drums sound a bit washy and distant...maybe too much reverb or panning or something? They do sound pretty cool in that decay right before the palm muting though. Feels like the snare wants a tad more punch to tie down the rhythm maybe. The "who could take your life away" part is badass.
 
id have to agree with madmax the song sounds good , sounds like the vocals need to come down a bit and clear up the drums they do sound washed out and a bit distance - but all in all it does sound pretty good
 
Great tune. I agree w/most of what's already been said. The distant feel on the drums really stood out to me. In the imaginary space of the song the sound about 20 or 30 feet behind the guitars.

Love to hear it again if you make any tweaks!
 
Cool song! Love the chorus and the lyrics are great!
Overall it needs maybe a bit of colour....the drums are a bit too distant and the clean guitars could use some effect or ambience. I would add another harmony on the backing vocals to make it shine a little more. Good song though...

Cheers
Joe
