This is what I did.
Mixed with HS5's and HS8 sub.
I used C1 SSl across the board
Edited the vocals and consolidated them by bouncing them to two main buss and two stereo BVG buss
I took the four strange yelp type vocal track bussed them to a stereo track and then reversed them. I then used the audiosuite in protools to render them with reverse reverb.
I edited the Toms by removing the room from the tracks.
My master buss is Presswerks, Satin and FGX.

Thats it. I wanted the track to be as dead as possible.
The song is pretty cool if you like this kind of thing.

I added more bass to kick and bass gtrs on the second track because I felt it was lacking in that dept.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers.

Hei Man!

I really enjoyed your first mix (raw as it should be for this genre) but i acknowledge that it lacks a little bit of low end. But in the second one i don't like that much the snare reverb, but the track seems a little bit less muddy in the end!!

Why don't you try, instead of improving the single instruments, to improve the master buss' EQ? It helped me a lot

I don't Eq the master buss. Both tracks are essentially the same mix, the only differences is that the second track, the kick drum has a bass boost around 100hz. and I added a bass drop to certain points in the song.

I also brought up the bass at 100hz with a tight Q and then attenuated at
160hz with a Q of 1.3 while also increasing the volume by 3dbv.

The snare is volume was increased marginally.

Hi!
The second version does sound a lot cleaner and more punchy to me. Though I agree with Fester993 that the snare is a bit loud and could use some reduction in the high-mids/highs to make it "sit" better. I also think the vocals could benefit from some more compression. Really a lot more compression. It's pretty common in this type of music to really crush the vocals. In my own mix I used the Rough Rider to get them more consistent.

You said you don't eq the master buss. If you're in a rush, or just get curious I would recommend playing around with a multiband comp to level the track out a bit more without having to spend a lot of time on automation. It can be a real life saver!

Yeah I will have to try crushing the vocals and see what's up. I will also give multi band compression a go on the master buss and see if it will improve the mix. Thanks for the advice and feedback, it was very helpful.

No problem! Let us know how it turns out
You are welcome to check out my mix as well, and if you have the time give me some feedback too ^^
