Emo/rock song. Comments? [Behringer]

[i51423]

I just got this mix nearly done. Any comments on it?

I like the song; not a huge fan of emo most of the time but this is a good sounding mix. I like the drum sound a lot, though I think they could be compressed a little harder. The levels are okay with the bass and drums.

The guitars sound weak though. What you could do is boost the low mids around like 700 hz about 3 db and bring the volumes up a little bit. Then perhaps group all the guitars and give them their own compressor, so they have some more punch. Right now they sound a little fizzy and their sound is getting lost with with the cymbals.

The vocals need something too. Maybe try boosting around 3k about 3 db and 10k about 4 db. That might open them up a little bit.

The performances are mostly good too. One thing I didn't like much was the section around 2:54, the lead guitar sounds a little shaky, like the guitar player wasn't used to doing pull-offs that slow.

I'd give it a B+. Just a few little mix things and that one performance section and you will have yourself a great mix!

The drummer slowed down there a little bit, I think. Eh.

The Behringer used was a Behringer DDX3216. I only used the pres from it.

Thanks for the comments. I'll be finalizing this mix tomorrow. I'll definitely try your advice.

Here's the final product. I'm pretty happy with how it came out as is the band.
