New Day, New Band, New Rock Mix

Bang is back!


My only "quarrel" with the song is the drum hits in the beginning. They're turned down a bit, and I feel are taking away from the punch of the song. Not the toms, but the Crashes/OH's. There's something lacking there.

I like the guitar sound. Sounds like Trapt's singer, without all the "fluttering".

[Bang]

Thanks man. The inital room and technical problems kept me for doing what I do. For one thing, the studio wasn't even clocked properly till a few days ago. It creeps me out listening to the other shite I posted.

As for the opening crashes, I went back and forth and one point had them up. After listening to the mix, I threw them back up for the intro like you said, so its funny you thought the same thing. A pal of mine mastered this for me, and with all due respect, I think his attempt to fatten up the low end kinda clouded it a bit, but overall he did a nice job. I'll post another version soon, I'm still using this mix to listen to different monitors to augment my Truths.

Hey...real nice

I like the little do-hicky break in the middle.(if you know what I mean)

Is it possible the kick is getting lost when the harmony vox come in or maybe its not being hit

Steve..I meant to ask you..you said in the past you sometimes used the timeworks limiter---do mean compressorX? Because I cant seem to find it.. to check it out.

[Bang]

Its called the Timeworks Mastering Compressor and the thing is f'ing brilliant. It has built in peak clipping which sounds a lot closer to the source then limiting. Easy to make shit louder without losing impact. This song however was mastered by a good pal of mine who used the L3, I don't know how he set it, but I'll ask him.

Steve,
I know what you mean about the mastering compression. I was hearing that too. I'm also hearing a slight bit of mushiness at points...maybe that's the same thing your talking about.

Steve

Timeworks Mastering Compressor ..damm that thing is ancient..but I just heard it and you are right...it does not kill the snare like L2. Its almost like magic. I dont see it can clip the snare(as seen on the wave image) without ruining the sound.

Do you set if for hard or soft?

BTW. I forgot to mention I love those tight toms on this track
