Band I'm mixing (6 string, metalcore, Drop B, nothing by me)

[TreWatson]

my buddy dan decided he was sick of pop punk and is making a metalcore EP and I've been paid 100 bucks a song to record for him. sweet deal.

i'm in the mixing process for his song "through my eyes" and just finished the first pass at the full track with vocals. I re-amped the guitars, and bass, and quantized the drums up.

check it out.

criticism is GOOD, on the guitar tone, bass tone and drums, and the mixing as a whole, it's a different style I'm mixing so i want to get it sounding better.

so tell me anything, and if you want some material from me, it's over here:

Guitars sound kind of thin.. i know with your usual Djent stuff you have the lows cut right out for the most part.. try adding some bass to them.. kick drum is a little sterile sounding.. vocals are a touch too loud.. liking the music as a whole.. but the vocals are drowing everything out.. good start though. sounds like a killer deal. 100 a song.. id do it. haha..

yea Jesse is right about the thinning out part. lower the volume on the vox and I think reverb sounds a bit silly. Boost bass+mids and add some distortion to the bass or some kind of punch to it. otherwise, really good.

Jesse has hit the nail on the head there really, just needs to be beefed up instrumentally and vocals drop down a tad so they sit beter in the mix

I'm not much of a mix guy, but the drumset ( minus the kick ) sounds really weak in the mix.

 

[TreWatson]

mix has been updated.

 

[RG7]

Vocalist sounds pretty crappy.
Anyway you can get him to re-track and double/triple/quad track everything to thicken his screams up?

Also im not digging the snare much.

The lead guitar seems a bit low in the mix during some parts , other than that it sounds pretty good.

Guitar tone is very thin, drums need to come down. Guitar tracks are pretty sloppy.

Vocals seem to loud as well.... maybe just turn the guitars up 1-2db

 

[TreWatson]

can't tell you much about the guitars, i didnt do them, and after about 6 hours, i'm gonna leave it as is. it's just demo quality.

I'll raise them.

Right on
