    I know absolutely nothing about Death Metal (Old School or Modern), and not much more about mixing…but I figured I would give it a shot, and just went with what sounded good to me.

    Hopefully the overall balance of my mix is OK as I am away from home and have only my laptop and some iLoud Micro Monitors to work with.

    Constructive criticism welcomed…I had fun and learned a lot! (Please turn it up, as I didn’t flatline the level! 😝)

    I like it. A little more compression of the mix, a little filling of the mid (a little too hard panned for my taste) the voice is good an I actually adore the bass.
    Good job!

    @Basstricks Thanks for the great feedback! I actually didn’t use any master bus compression, as I wanted to see what I could do with compression on a pseudo mastering job later. I’m an ’80’s guy so I love my dynamic range 😝…especially on natural sounding acoustic drums. Re: the panning, I was trying to avoid adding artificial low end to the electric chainsaw guitars to make them sound bigger, so that’s why I went to the wider spread. I agree it was probably a touch too much.

    Really appreciate the feedback, and will keep it in mind for next time!

    The bass is so sturdy, loved it! Not a big fan of the delay used on the vocals. Yet, the overall mix is well balanced, and it flows very well.

    Good job and good luck 🙂

    @Aion Yeah I really lucked out on the bass. I just kept messing around until it felt right. I think it was the Waves BB Tubes that gave it the final touch after working on it for a while. Thank you for the comment on overall balance…many of the mixes here seem very mid, low mid, and bass heavy….and I was panicking about that because I only have small monitors to work on at the moment and it is difficult to judge what is the appropriate amount. Thanks again!🤘
