I need some more ears!!!

[GORILLA]

Hi friends, lookin’ for some more ears on this 90% finished mix…. It’s all Superior drummer Metal Foundry (no 3rd party stuff) or drumagog’d or trigger’d replacements on these. I just want to know how it’s translating on other systems. I know the kick and snare may seem loud, but once the vocalist puts his lungs on it, all seems to gel great.
Thanks ya’ll

Hey GORILLA,

Is this YOUR stuff??? :-S

Right not being brutal but i think aside from the mix, i think you’re going to struggle getting much definition as there seems to be an inherent timing issue between the guitars and drums…

Aside from that it’s lacking consistancy, the drums are sort of coming in and out of the mix, i’d said sidechain the guitars off the kick a lil, that’ll give it some breathing space, after that, get some more low end on the drums, the guitars have waaay more freq’s going on, perhaps a lil low end roll off on the twangers?

The snare also seems to be peaking and the cymbals aren’t as crisp as they could be, i think the guitars are dominating the mix a touch for the moment..

If you’re not already doing parallel buss compression on the drums, maybe worth a shot, are you already? and what about overall reverb have you given the mix it’s own room to help gel all the components?

Certainly wasn’t aiming to be rude but i’m sure I’ve heard stuff from you before and this seemed like a major league leap backwards

No prob Volitan. We have like four different variations and I had 3 on but removed them and left this one. Thanks for replying, I’m trying out hahaha 4 different finishing/master buss setups and a few other things. Thanks man!!!

Hey GORILLA!

Just going back over what I read, and I still wanted to apologise if I came across too harsh, I was pretty full on!

Anyways, do you have an update on it yet, would be cool to hear more!

Heavy stuff Gorilla!!!!
I dig it! Drum tones sound really nice! So do the guitars! Did you use Axe Fx for the tones?

Sounds like it needs some bass frequencies to bring up the drums. The guitars do sound nice and thick.

[GORILLA]

Thanks for the ears and replies! Axe Fx yes.

Sorry man but this just isn;t doing it for me, the guitars seem out of time, I mean don’t get me wrong I’m getting the sludgey vibe but it’s just not sounding tight, and man seriously, the kick… the snare… not sounding like they are adding anything to the mix except plastic overtones…

Maybe I’m just missing something, what are people listening to tracks on?

Sounds great! But I’d mix the bass a little louder…lacks punch and bottom end. But great sound.
