The Well with Reamped Guitars - andrew0v - 04-02-2017

Guitars and bass sound much better, way tighter and clearer sounding. Now you just need to take the same sort of approach with the drums and vocals. In the final mix ust push the bass down abit, it's poking out abit too much. Aside from this only being guitar and bass focused, this sounds miles better than the tweaked to death version. Now you need to make a mix and not just a demo.

Ya I also think the guitars are a little too crunchy but they do fit the bass tone and the snare is a struggle to get sounding right also the singer didn't really project his voice that well and its hard to make it sound good without a lot of oversampling

Basically it's a lot of work to get this sounding good

It's a tricky mix, you'e got a good bass and guitar starting point, who cares if you need to re sample the drums to get them to work, at the end of the day you need to put in work to get this as awesome sounding as possible. I ust compressed the living day lights out of the vocals, used some high passing at 200 Hz and a couple of parametric cuts to clean up the crap. From there I ran em through some tape saturation and a bit of reverb.
This is very good practice here for a more real world situation, most indie metalcore/djent bands don't have a huge budget obviously and a lot of the time their raw tracks have the same problem that this track has. This is where the problem solving happens, the drums sound like crap no matter what you do with em, use some samples, the guitar tone isn't tight enough or doesn't work with the track, use the DIs through Bias or use a reamp box through your amp of choice. Really it comes down to finding the simplest solutions that give the best results, not throwing a bunch of plugins at it to no avail and calling it "Tweaked" or "Natural"

The guitars and bass sounds good ,can hear a little too much low frequencies on the guitars in the side channels.
Maybe using a mid side eq just reduce the low end on the guitars in the side somewhere below 100-200 area leaving it in the centre with the bass .
looking forward to hearing the next version
Cheers.

The guitars sound squishy like they're over compressed but distortion is a form of compression anyway. The guitars are not as harsh as the originals but could still use some TLC. Although they may work really well once mixed appropriately. So kudos for the effort and we'll just have to wait and see how it works in the end.
