Sounds really good! Great job Shaun! Keeps the original vibe, but adds that little bit of “oomph” it needed! Good Luck!
Thanks man! I appreciate the listen. That was precisely what i was aiming for. Good luck to you!
its really good mix, but one thing, lot of modern style triggers, used on drums.
Ultimate typewriter kick!
Nice mix, I can say, just for my taste, that I would have left less presence on the kick and a wider stereo image of the overheads. Anyway, well done!
I was told it was “more 90’s than 90’s” LOL I definitely left a ton of click on the kick. Thanks for listening, and good luck.
Thanks for the listen. Probably could have pulled out a tad of the click on the kick in hindsight, but i was kind of going for over the top at the same time…maybe too far LOL. I have received a few comments about the overheads. I used a stereo widening effect on the guitars, and also had the overheads panned only slightly inward. I think the combination left them feeling a little mono. Good to know for the future as i don’t typically use widening effects. Good luck to you!
Really cool snappy vibe Shaun hehe
I like the overall atmosphere you had for this mix. Since you kept the vocals at moderate volume level, I would just carve the midrange on the guitars a little bit more so the words could come through a bit more easily.
Sounds chunky! I think I hear a bit of weird phasing on the high end but maybe that’s just a SoundCloud artifact.
Nice mix! Spiky, edgy and at the same time balanced. That accent on the guitars – at first I thought it was too luod, but then I kinda liked it) I know I had a problem when mixing those guitars – they are so gooood, that I was just keep raising the fader up because I wanted more of them!) It took a lot of effort to keep myself at bay, but you made them big and glorious and it sounds amazing!
Thank you for the listen and thoughts on the mix. I have been told I mixed a little guitar-centric. Good luck to you!
Listening back i could have scooped a little more midrange out on the guitars to make room for the vocals…but those guitars were already so scooped i was worried about making them too thin and hollow. Couldawouldashoulda LOL. Thanks for the listen and good luck!
Pretty nice mix yes. Personally I would eq down the 2k on guitars to make them smoother and more ear-friendly, but hey… it’s death metal, it’s supposed to be naaasty right? :D
Kickass mix dude! Loving the ferocious snare and bass. Well balanced and bangin’ mix! Best of luck! Cheers!
