It's an mp3, yes, but it's meant to give a general idea of how I'm doing mixing-wise. Thoughts?
 
i thought the overheads on the drums could be brought up some. if there were overheads. it seems all kick snare.

good work though. i don't listen to this sort of music really, but the guitars sound pretty thick, and really good takes of them. great band
 
I'm also not a fan of this kind of music. Guitar tones sound good though. Clean tone sounds good also.

Vocals sound like they're a bit buried but just a tad (~1-2db?). I don't know. I'm having to listen at low volumes cause this song is LOUD. Seriously, I got my volume down almost all the way and it's louder than all my songs. :p

The mix/production sounds real good, and guitar tones/playing is good too.
 
Pretty good mix. No real nits from me.

Are those real drums? If so, the drummer is great. If they're fake, they sound pretty damn real.

I agree. In previous mixes, I'd had problems with overheads being too high: I definitely over-compensated this time around though. Thanks for the compliments too :)

I'll try moving the vocals around just a 'tad'! And yeah, with this kind of music you really gotta boost the levels to compete with the 20,000 other bands in your state with a similar style :/

They are, in fact, completely real! I've had a couple people ask if they're triggered, so I guess I'm kind of doing something right? Assuming I'm going for that sound, which I am/was :) The drummer was quite good, especially considering how terrible his kit is/was.

Thanks for the commentary! Keep it comin': bass too loud/quiet? Personal things you like/dislike?
 
Well I think you did a good job with the drums. Kudos.

Personal things? The song sucks, but the mix is great. :p

Ha fair enough! Not my band, not my problem :p
 
Sounds great to me dude, can't believe those drums aren't sampled!
I quite like the song too.
What mic did you use on the vocals?
