Reply To: Alex Obregon – Dead to the World mix

Hi Alex,

I can hear you went to some trouble to make the mids sit right. I like that aspect of the mix. The bass and guitar sounds complement each other well and I like that you didn’t indiscriminately scoop the guitar mids. Also lots of ear candy throughout the mix that I rather enjoyed.

I can, however, hear some problems with the top-end of the kik drum. With the amount of midrange rolled out it’s basically a high-sub/bottom-of-the-bass sine wave with a 7-8k click stuck on top. While that might be exactly what you like in a kikdrum, it creates problems with the blast beats feeling oddly lopsided.

Also some issue with the transients on the toms. Apart from being too low in the mix they sound (to my ears; i might be wrong) like they were compressed really hard with too fast an attack time.

But again, nicely done on the bass + guitar sound.
