Greetings all,
I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just leave the link and see what happens. Thank you.
One Love, Spy!
Hey Spy, what FX did you do to the guitars? It feels a bit backwards… :-) Sound interestingly.
Greetings cdolar, let me start by saying I honestly have no idea about what is and what is not considered to be ‘good’ in Death Metal, I literally had no frame of reference. So, to answer your question, I have CLA Guitars inserted on the individual tracks, which are summed to a sub group and paralleled (sent) to Guitar Rig and all of that is sent to another buss with IK’s Comprexxor and smartEQ3 in series. Over processed? Probably, but like I said, I was fumbling around in the dark on this one…
It’s a pity, the mix is unfinished, some rustling can be heard in the pauses, maybe it’s meant to be, I do not know, maybe it’s a delay, check CLA Guitars if the “delay” effect is not included in the case, if so it was intended, then it sounds “dirty” and I would automate this parameter to disable or reduce where not necessary. But it feels like the work has been done, don’t worry, you’re on the right track, I’ve been wrong many times myself.
@spy : ” I honestly have no idea about what is and what is not considered to be ‘good’ in Death Metal, I literally had no frame of reference”
How about checking out some death metal reference mixes (and also the reference mix to this song) before you start mixing ? :)
Your reference mixes can also be regular metal (or even rock) mixes !
Thank you all for the feedback. Regarding the ‘dirt’, it’s partly from a delay that I added to the guitars and, I suspect partly from my old mixing desk that I used to run stems through and record back into the computer. Not that this is an acceptable excuse, but I was working full time in a very demanding job (minimum 90 minutes commute in each direction and I often worked over my hours, including Friday 13th) so I rushed out the mix for the deadline without giving it the proper scrutiny. Anyway, it’s been an experience and, combined with this feedback, I think I’ve learned something, so thanks to you all again.
