Verified Member | well it sounds way better the the last metallica ... the things you say about EQ are MIX -setting .. no mastering ... there's way to much mid between 300-800 Khz and missing some sparkling ... check the boominess on the kick around 114 ... enjoy working on it .... top !! you did not slam it into a brickwall

| I haven't listened to it, but the way your first post reads it sounds like you're mixing it as well as mastering it. I would look to spend your time trying to fix things at the mix stage rather than the mastering stage. |

| Disregard my vote, I am no mastering engineer. the kick sounds a bit boomy though, and that fuzz guitar is way too up front. |

| I would think your first step forward would be to not proudly display all your pirated software in your signature. Or maybe you do have 10k worth of software and $500 worth of mics, in which case your first step would be to sell all that software, and put some $$ into acoustics. 2nd, it sounds like you are mixing this not mastering it, so you might want to look around in different areas of the sight for mixing tips/tricks. |

| Really nothing to do with mastering at all from what I can tell.. The clean guitar sounds really thin and cheesy... |

That aside - the snare sounds a touch lifeless and distant, maybe it's being overcompressed - I would like to hear it more up front, right now it sounds like it's at the back of the room. The kick is pretty close I think Plus - but you can't do too much about this now I suppose but - one of the guitars (the main, picking one I think) is out of tune somewhat and that sounds, to me at least, a little whacky. I would suggest for this particular one, getting a nice big drum sound and then carving a space for the guitars around that - that is if you are mixing it too. I can't comment on the mastering - that's way out of my league | |

| Are you guys messing with us? With the 'phono input' thing? You're joking, right? |

But (please don't take this the wrong way) I think anyone who wants to do anything with audio professionally should at least know the difference between a line and a phono input on an amplifier. Of course, that would explain the radical high-pass filtering on all those tracks..? | |

| So, I just listened. I can't say whether it's an improvement because I haven't heard the earlier versions. It's hard to hear past the horrible musicianship (they're out of tune and out of time) but I guess you did some more work on the guitars? Earlier comments said the main guitars sounded tinny. They're not so bad now, maybe a little loud in the mix. Are you still using high-pass on everything? It's a bit thin and weird sounding, but maybe the tracks were so much worse before you worked on them. It's hard to say without hearing the raw mix. Bottom line, I'd say it needs more low end. |
