The Well Mixed by Doug

[dcp10200]

Listened your mix, and that Motormouth song. If you're aiming there, you should probably add some room to your snare. If the sample library you used has a separate room track/sound for the snare, I suggest you use it boldly. Also, the main guitars could be darker. LR-panned distorted guitars have a way of masking and 'clashing' with pretty much everything, so I'd suggest cutting away the highs as muchs you dare without making them totally muffled. This also has a nice side effect of 'opening' the mix so you don't have to struggle with separation or 'clarity' too much. It's a great mix already, by the way, so you don't necessarily have to change anything. ^_^

Thanks Kapu, I discovered that I rendered the Room and Overhead Mics out in mono after listening back, they were adding some beef to the snare but not the width and roominess that the Nolly Mix has in it, the snare sample in general is also not really that close to the Periphery track so I might just end up using a different sample for the next version I make. I did end up making the guitars abit darker sounding in the Master 2 version, still I prefer the harsher tone of the first mix, I guess I just like snarling sounding guitars

Cheers,
Doug
