    Hello everyone. I know that I’m late to the party, however I would like to share my mix of this song.
    Actually this is the first mix I did from start to finish ever, so I will be really glad to hear your comments on this.

    Thanks

    – “Actually this is the first mix I did from start to finish ever” : nice !
    – sounds good to me, very natural
    – maybe the mix could be clearer and a bit less muddy (i suck at that btw). I like the low end but it seems your mix could be a little bit more balanced toward a bright/clearer side, and be less dark/muffled…
    Did you A/B your mix against reference mixes ?

    Thanks for the reply! Glad that you liked it.
    TBH I kinda feel the same, that it’s a little bit dark, just a little. Probably this is due to the original album mix that is too bright in my opinion.
    So I’ve decided to do it on the contrary. But yeah, it could be a little bit brighter. I’ve finished it at night, so probably will come back to the project today and tweak some knobs more.
    The only reference was the original album version. However at this site I’ve checked some other versions. Well, I really need to learn more as here
    you can find some brilliant mixes!

    Gotcha !

    For reference mixes you could use mixes in a similar genre that sound good to you. I made a playlist and A/B-ed my mix against those.
    Of course it helps if you’re already into extreme metal and have some mixes in mind :)

    Not a bad mix for the first time! It feels like the work has been done and that there is potential. If you carefully add saturation to the mix, a little compression, for glue, then the mix will come to life and open up. It is possible that mix problems may appear, but it will be clearer what was done incorrectly.

    Thanks, glad you’ve found something in it.
    Do you meanto add a compressor and saturation on master bus? Do you have any tricks to share? Any videos that you could advice?
