Need help with this mix (FTFD, WIM)

gotet10 · October 16th, 2011, 09:31 AM

This is a new mix I'm working on for my band. I really need some advice on this. The feel of the mix sounds super good to me, but I don't have the best monitors right now, so I could use some extra ears. Some of the guitars are edited to the grid, I didn't feel like finishing it right this second, but that's beyond the point.

Guitars are Pod Farm
Bass is Trilian into Ampeg SVX
Drums are Slate snare/kick, Detuned toms and Shoulder City Cymbals
Sub drops are Chango.

The mix sounds sweet dude! especially the bass the and guitar tones! The only thing i would change is the crash panned more to the right. It seems to kind of stick out of the mix. I would just turn it down a tad. Can you elaborate more on your guitar tone processing?

The guitar tone sounds like it could some more gain, and maybe a bit more compression. I would say bring the kick down too.

Comparing it to Relentless by FTFD I think it sounds too low endy. Otherwise it sounds radd!!

By that I mean HP your trillion, don't just turn it down.

Thanks for the help guys. I was kinda going for the same bass as the new OM&M album mixed with like FTFD. I'll post an updated mix soon.

I'd drop the guitars a hair.
