Hard rock track

wydsiwyrg · 24th September 2007, 09:42 AM

Hi guys,
I'd like some input on this hard rock track I'm mixing at the moment. It's just a mockup at the moment.. I've mixed this on 20 quid headphones so not sure it'll be upto much!! All of it is going through a Focusrite ISA 428 for preamp.

Recorded:

Drums:
2 x Rode NT5 (ohs)
1 x D112 (kick)
1 x SM57B (snare)

Guitar:

Marshall JCM 900 Stack mic'd with:

SM57B close
SM58 close
AKG C414 room

Vocals:

AKG C414

Bass:

DI into Focusrite

Please give me some tips on how I can improve my mixes, and also the recording.
Thanks so much,
Tim

your mix seems a bit dry, maybe some reverb and delay on snare and vox?
and i would lower the ambient sound of the guitars, they really sound in the back of your mix instead of right up front.

And maybe try panning things a bit out of the center.

Just my 2 cents ;)

Thanks for your comments.. the guitars do sounda bit "far back", I see what you mean now. I'll try to fix that and send another mix.
Thanks,
Tim
