    Is that a reverse effect at the front? Wasn’t expecting it. I kinda want the vocals in your mix up about a db on the lead one. What is that effect you’re sending the lead vocal to make it sound scary (for the lack of a better word LOL). Great fx choices. Great work!

    Hi! Thanks for listening. Yes, I did some backwards reverb on the vocals at the beginning. I found the lead vocal fine, but I needed more variation for my personal taste, hence the other vocals are louder than maybe other people would like them. I made the other sounds by changing the pitch and formants on the backing vocals to create more voices. I thought it gave it more of a Blackend Death Metal vibe, with the more screechy voices.

    Nice work on the fx voices ! The mix is good and theses voices add a little something making ! Remind me some depressive black metal

    Thanks for listening. I’m glad you like the voices, as I had a lot of fun working with them. I agree they do add a bit of a Black Metal.

    Yeah, I didn’t want to change the bass tone too much, as I really liked what was recorded. Thanks for listening.

    Uh super nice FX, the backgroundvocals sound clear and evil, have you pitched them a little higher? I love it

    Thanks. yes, I did some work with the pitch and the formants of the backing vocals to create some new voices that I could play with. It strays a bit from the original mix, but I think it’s fun. I’m really glad you liked it. Thanks for taking time to check it out.

    Evil voices! Good idea. I played with vocals, too. Good luck to you.

    Yes, there was a lot one could do with the vocals, if you don’t mind it moving away from being old school Death. Thanks for listening.

    Really cool and balanced mix overall.
    Cool things you did with those vocals :) Reminds me of DEICIDE when there is background vocals.

    And i feel you about the original bass tone. I loved it from the get go (reminds me of early Cannibal Corpse, finger style), and i barely touched it in my own mix.

    Thanks for taking the time out to listen. Much appreciated.

    I’m glad you liked the vocal stuff. I decided to make the track more to my taste, I guess, than emulate the original mix. I’m a sucker for screaming vocals.

    I agree, the original bass tone was great as it was. I’m more of a fan of those classic tones, than the more modern, nastier ones. I get why other people like them, but it’s just my taste. I think I just did a small amount of eq, a touch of Max bass and a limiter on the bass, if I remember rightly. Oh, and a bit of multi band ducking to clear some room for the kick. Nothing too drastic.
    Steve
