Wall of Death 2017 Mix - dcp10200 - 22-01-2017
Femme was one of the first songs that I uploaded a mix for when I joined the forum and really all the versions I made were pretty bad sounding in retrospect
. I've always ame up short in one area or another when mixing it weather it be in having too much reverb and sounding like it was recorded in a cave or being too boomy or just weird sounding. With this mix I took a different approach and actually used a reference track to guide me along, and in the end I think this is the closest to what I wanted my mix to sound like. My reference was All Bodies by Between the Buried and Me.Cheers,
Doug

Sounds great. I really can't find a fault. The only thing that I noticed (and really isn't an issue) is that the guitar on the right feels a little more clear and 'dominant' compared to the left. It doesn't feel bad or wrong but it just the only thing that I noticed. I know it has more of the riffs/lead roll but it still has the focus in the rhythm sections. Other than that everything feels right on.
Good job.

Thanks Roy! I used 2 different amps on the rhythm guitars, on the left is a 5150 emulation and the right is a Mesa Dual Rectifier, which is why one amp seems abit more present than the other. I tried to make both amps sound as close to each other as possible but still have their own unique sound. I probably should hae dialed back the presence on the recto sim but I do like how it sounds wide and fat.
Cheers,
Doug

Sounds good. Very beefy. I would turn the vocals up a bit but that's just how I like it. The toms need more presence to cut through the mix imho. Well deserved 5 Stars.

Thanks Blitzzz! I ust made this mix with the vocals up abit, more presence on the toms. some clipping and parallel distortion also helped the toms and snare alittle
For Roy: I also straightened up the guitars so that they're more even sounding in the stereo field
Cheers,

Sounds really great, I think it has a very good low end beef, what did you do with bass ?
Also curious about the snare, did you use both mikes ?
Great job
