Hey Mindicree,
I'd say this mix is "ok..." I really cant give you a lot of precice critique, but here we go anyway.
Suggestions:
- Kick sounds very pillowy without any sort of high-click that is typical for Metal. (At least I think so, not really a Metal fan xD)
- Also the vocal sounds kinda lifeless and bland, a little funky processing with saturation/distortion or some wierd effect might be cool. Or it could suck.
- Also more de-essing on the vocal
- Regarding the loud master. When I turned it down to the same volume as the mix, the unmasterd version sounded way more punchy. A good rule of thumb that works for me is to get around approx. 14LUFS or approx. 12RMS and a Dynamic Range of not less than 8. (I usually aim for 10)
Hope it helps and you dont think of my critique as "ridiculus" like another individual on this forum
