i think the mix is good. i dont like the song though...its definitely the SONG that turns me off. mostly the vocals. a bit too "coOOKIEEE!!" monster for me at times. Durv |

Hi Durv, Thanks for the input. Was there anything specific regarding the mix that you liked or didn't like? Are you into this type of music much? Thanks again!  |

Yea, I'm not really into the guys vocals... Otherwise it sounds pretty damn good. I'de tweek the drums a bit for this style. The toms seem a bit tubby. try some subtle 300ish cuts. Maybe a bit more snap on the snare and some compression to smooth things out. Maybe a bit more agressive overall drum copression effect? Theres something missing between the guitars and bass. Maybe try some 800-2k boosts on the bass. I have a hard time hearing the "note" that everyones playing together if that makes any sense.. Overall nice job, I'm just nit picking  ERic

Eric, I know exactly what you mean on the toms, I will work on them in the next session. I am only running light compression on the drum bus so I will have a bit of a play with that aswell. There is a track of overdriven bass that I will boost up a bit that should help the gtrs and bass gel a bit better. Thanks alot for taking the time to listen and reply. Keep it commin' guys! |

Don´t really have the time for a decent comment right now. But i´ll try... - like the cymbals. cool "soft" sound! - bass sounds good, too - performance is weak (esp. the vocals aren´t "credible") - arrangement isn´t effective - overall balancing of the instruments sounds good to me - couple of timing issues (guitars...) - don´t like the "telephone fx" on that small vocal part - guitars sound like "real guitars" (cool!) |

Thanks for the advice opentune! That vocal effect was something the singer wanted to try out but I don't think it really worked. This was going to be the opening track of the album might I might recomend to the guys that it should be one with a better vocal. There are other songs that I like more. It has been such a long project that you get desensitised to things so it is great to get these first impression opinions. If anyone else has the time I would love to hear more! Thanks again! |

Not bad at all. Try to get the drums to have more attack and punch to them. They get a little lost in the mix. The Toms need help too...pan them and cut the middle out a little. Try a little delay on the vocals as well.....and BURY them......  |
