Tagged: malamor Dead to the world
Hi everybody. I found this site just in time to make a mix for this contest. And now I’ve found this forum where y’all are talking about it. Anyway, here is the mix I made.
Nice job, hopefully you got it submitted in time!
I think I did… I sent the email late afternoon east coast Friday. It’s been 10 years or so since I’ve crossed paths with mixing death metal. And back then I was mixing live shows only. This was a really fun throwback.
Hi, your mix sounds pretty well balanced and clean \m/
Nice ! Very balanced and clean as said by Mike just above !
This mix has plenty of space – I like! Less toppy top (8k+) on the kick/trigger for my taste – the guitars sound great. Good luck man!
Nice mix. Very clean sounding, and retains the OG vibes. Best of luck! If you got a minute to spare check out my mix here, always looking for feedback.
Nice
Dude, I love that your mix is like the opposite philosophy of mine. You have such a cool polished studio take on this song. I’ve only ever mixed metal at live shows, so I did what I knew and worked with the raw ingredients in front of me.
That’s the cool thing about music. People can approach the same thing different ways.
Thanks! Yeah, if I were producing this from the ground up I would have recorded very different kicks in the first place. But when I mix somebody else’s recording, I figure they had to have done what they did for a reason so I didn’t push that kick click all that far. I mean, the click was there in the trigger, but I felt the trigger sound was a bit lifeless so I wanted to lean on the real kicks more…
I dunno… I like to work with what the recording is telling me to do. That being said I still had to push the original sounds around a bit to compete with the reference track I was using.
The Kicks sound a bit uneven and rickety. Otherwise solid mix!
Great energy and forwardness overall!
My reference track was Dying Fetus – Subjected to a Beating. Dying Fetus used to come through my little corner of Delaware every now and then, and when I mixed them live, they were the band that I clicked with the most.
