Hi Thedon!
Thank you for mixing the track!
Here are some tips to enhance your mix:
- Try to scoop some mids and bass from the acoustic guitars and cut a lot on the high; add reverb + delay + a little bit of flanger and you are good to go
- The mix doesn't have the Lead guitar track
- Drums are pretty ok, you need to lower the high frequencies on the overheads and give a greater punch to the kick, try also to change the curve of the EQ on your snare in order to focus it on the 250-300hz spectrum for the punch and 1500hz-2000hz to add a little bit of sharpness to the notes
- I don't hear the armonizations between the two rythm guitars, try to adjust the volumes
- Voice is ok but the volume is too high, lower it a bit
Have a nice day!

Thanks for sharing your multi tracks of your great performance and your feedback !
I had a look at the session and did mute the lead and didn't do any eq or effects to the acoustic guitars .
Uploading Version 2 with the vocals lower and some eq an effects on the acoustics and some more punch on the snare .
I would love some more advice for the next version as this is way out of my comfort zone !
Cheers

Ok, this mix is better but there are some issues:
- Acoustic guitars now are good, you only need to raise the bass frequencies and cut again on the high
- I can't hear the toms, did you mix them or did you left them out of the mix?
- Lead guitar track is missing again
- The backing vocals before the beginning of the last chorus are way too high, lower them alot! Like 5-6 db
- I heard some clipping on some parts, try to add to the master bus a little bit of compression or put a Limiter in order to avoid clipping!
Cheers!

Cheers! Thanks for having a listen ,here is another revision but needs some more work I think the lead vocals need to come up a touch more ? I tried to edit the tom tracks but need more work ,I'm currently downloading the files again and hopefully the midi files will help make a difference with the toms.
I will come back to this track and have another shot after a little more practice !
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Just listened to V3.
It sounds a bit... cloudy. Muffled. Did you low pass the whole mix?

Much better, good balances and definition, but could use more bass and body in there.
RE: Storm Of Particles: 'Of Ice And Hopeless Fate - jugx - 05-01-2018
This starts to sound like it's ready to be printed on CD.
It definitely need more body as Judders says.
Also i'd say the stereo width seems to be a bit... flattened.
What I personnaly use to enhance that is a soft multiband compressor working on mid/side setting. It also provides more clarity and energy to me mix. This thing is kinda magic.
