New mix, how'd I do?

[JesperX]

Hey all, just re-recorded a song I wrote probably 4 years ago. Let me know what you think.

GGD Invasion again on this one. Guitars are my Carvin DC7X -> EVH 50w 6L6 -> Torpedo Captor using GGD Zilla Cabs in Reaper. Bass my Schecter Stiletto 5, Radial DI, and using Neural Darkglass plugins.

Thanks! Yea, I’ve been debating a solo but I just hate writing them. Gotta get my chops back in order

Sounds pretty good! Kick is especially nice. One thing that bothered me slightly was how the snare poked out a bit. It's this very short stick attack that gets through and not much more of the body of the snare during the dense parts. Can be solved with some kind of saturation and/or fast attack parallel compression.

Hey thanks for listening and for the feedback.

I agree on the snare, it’s one thing I’ve been wrestling with. There’s parallel comp and saturation on it but I think I might try a bit of clipping to just lop off the transient a little bit and bring the rest of it up before it goes into the main comp.

I may also try brightening the drum reverb a bit to bring it forward next time, I think the verb could be further forward in the mix.

Cheers!
