| Listened on my laptop computer speakers, and after years of listening on and off to genres similar to this, it sounds kinda close to what I usually here from these bands. In other words, most of these types of bands I've heard don't have great mixes!
Now I can hear the high end of the kick well, but no bass. It's all gtr and screaming, but really, isn't this in line with other screamo acts? If ear fatigue is a problem then try rolling off 1.5k to 3.5k, with a strong focus on 2k. These are where your ears are most sensitive. Now, you'll lose some of the vocal presence but you can get it back with level automation and compression.
Try multing/parallell compressing/effecting the bass to give it more meat and control, and make sure you can hear the bass at a low volume. Took me years to get this concept. |
