Extremophile's Mix

[snabaz]

Hey Extremophile,

very nice does not sound like a novice mix to me.

The only " beginner trap" you fell in is the reverb on the kick drum which (when it is played this fast) kind of shrouds the bottom end of your mix and looses a bit of punch.
I'd be cautious in general with reverb on the low-end because it can quickly muddy your mix.

Also a nice procedure in setting reverb levels (e.g. vocals): Increase the level until you can just hear it and than back it off a few db.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Lukas

Got it! Thanks a lot. Guitarists like me often trick ourselves into getting loads of reverb to make things sound 'huge' haha.

On the rythm guitar sound there is, in my mix, only a little bit of reverb (15/100 level); the impulses from rosen digital and the amplifier sound did the rest. If you have a great amp sound you don't need to chain dozen of effects to make it even greater; always remember that less is better
