I think this is my best mix yet! (S2.0, Pod X3 Live, BKP Aftermaths)

[Dakota]

I remixed this song with my bassist, I think it turned out quite well if I could say so myself! Tell me what you think of this mix, any pointers?

wow that was good man, very catchy patterns

 

[flint757]

liked it...very cleanly recorded and well balanced

I like everything but the snare and the fact that you didn't remove the bass drum bleed from the snare bot mic.

 

[niffnoff]

That was pretty nice to be honest.

 

[Dakota]

Thanks for the replys everyone! And @Kurkk, I thought without the bleed on the overhead for the kick it would have sounded a bit too clinical for my taste.

Well now it sounds unnatural. The bot mic is so compressed that kick is cutting through the mix from it. Or yea I know it's the snare bottom thing whatever it's called, but as a drummer I can say that you don't here that kinda bleed even with real micing.

If you like it, don't remove it though. These things are subjective - I'm only pointing out what's normal in the scene with a little bit of influence of my taste.

 

[Dakota]

I can hear it now. I see what you mean!

It sounded excellent man. I really dug the groove. I would personally leave out that initial chug in the beginning of the distortion because it was almost expected.

again. the clean bass n guitar groove

 

[Napalm]

Great Stuff man sounds really punchy!!! What kind of guitar and amp are you using?

 

[Dakota]

I'm using a Gibson Les Paul Studio with a set of BKP Aftermaths. Also I'm using a POD X3 Live, the Big Bottom amp + '96 Brit cab + off axis 57.

I'm with Kurk on the snare. I personally would like to hear a little bit more of the drum's natural overtones. I dunno if it's partially my messed up sinuses right now but it seems like all I am hearing from the snare drum is the fundamental note of the snare and nothing more. Which snare are you using?

But definitely a kick ass mix man! Really awesome composition. I was impressed.
