Hey guys! This is a demo for my new band. Was just wondering what you all thought of the production! Thanks http://www.facebook.com/oakhaart/app_178091127385
I think it sounds good. The low end on the kick may be a bit much. it seems to make things pump slightly. the cleans kinda sound like protest the hero. Guitars are a bit crispy. around 1:30 the vocals get a little loud. With all that said, im not the guy you wanna listen to haha.
I'm hearing a note popping out somewhere. something you could kill with some surgical eq. I'm not sure where it is though, I think its the guitars
This is seriously pumping and distorting. Instead of trying to glue a death metal mix with compression, try with subtle tape saturation or some analog console saturation. Search google for FerricTDS, it's a great tape saturation and compression plugin that will help glue you mix together keeping it's intelligibility intact. To answer your question, if i heard this mix for the first time without knowing who did it, i'd think it was some large studio with a pretty big budget, except for the infinite gain reduction applied at the mastering stage. Just remember, make it loud, but don't distort it.
It's aggressive okay but everything they said above. Really cool shit they're writing, and the clean screamo vocals are FUCKING SWEET! i wanna hear this band more ffs
Thanks for your input everyone! I guess there may be some clipping but I can live with that. I don't aim to be a producer, I just wanted a listenable demo quality to be honest! And to the guy that said he can't hear shit, I like old school mixes which are really ambiguous, like Nile for example. Overly polished modern mixes turn me off big time!
