Newest mix! Please critique :)

[Steve Henningsgard]

It's an mp3, yes, but it's meant to give a general idea of how I'm doing mixing-wise. Thoughts?

 

[Steve Henningsgard]

Ha, 12 listens, no comments? Crazies

 

[TelePaul]

I'll have to listen at home.

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.

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

...Guitar tones sound good...Vocals sound like they're a bit buried but just a tad (~1-2db?)...this song is LOUD...mix/production sounds real good, and guitar tones/playing is good 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 :/

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

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.

Ha fair enough! Not my band, not my problem

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?
