Speed Metal - need advices!

Heabow · April 23rd, 2012, 02:12 PM

No automation. Processing and levels only. It's the same guy that plays guitars and bass. Not a very clean and tight playing. Drums are programmed. Instrumental version for now. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36870048/cliproughmix.mp3

Opinions and advices on the mix are welcome!

The mix is good, but the guitars are lacking in punch and warmth, they sound pretty scooped and honky on my monitors.

Either this mix is fucking killer (I don't think so), or it is so bad that it doesn't even deserve some feedback!

The mix is really good!
I wouldn't change a thing to be honest.
Best thing is the vocal processing, really nice.

One little thing, the bass could cut a little bit more through,
I think the guitars have a bit too much lowend or the bass not enough presence.
Maybe you could work on that but still, you could leave the mix as it is by now.
Good work!

Thanks for the feedback.
I didn't notice anything about guitar low-end but maybe a multiband comp would be usefull. Will throw an eye on this.
Apart from that, they need maybe a little cut around 6kHz...

Sometimes, it sounds like it's a bit too dry and sometimes not...
