Headwound Harry - XXXV (M&F)

[Digitaldruglord]

It is hardcore metal and shouldn't sound like a jazz record.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(music)
"The effects alter the instrument sound by clipping the signal"

I'm not going to tone down what's already in the danger zone of sound.. I'm hoping it tears your ears off on a song like this, with no apologies.

You have a point, it's not supposed to be clean sounding. You nailed rawness but the power isn't there in the mix, it's not making me headband or ripping my ears off, it's putting me to sleep. The mix sounds like its coming through a cell phone speaker rather than a huge band PA System loud enough to kill your ears and liquefy your insides. Ironically you've made a modern metal mix sound like a 1930's Jazz record .

A bad choice of words when I said clipping. What I'm talking about is the distortion you've used is fizzy sounding and is softening the impact of your mix, what once was a sledgehammer is now a feather pillow.

LOL.. I hear you, of course you know I respect you.. but have to kindly not buy it on the impact part.. I'm confident in the slam factor on this one and standing by it.. I reference against other records when I finish a tune and this one slays really loud dude..

Out of curiosity what did you reference, I'm exaggerating a touch when I say it's putting me to sleep obviously, but from personal experience (I'm big into Metalcore and Extreme Metal) and referencing stuff from Job For A Cowboy, Converge, Hatebreed, basically anything Eyal Levi mixed, and other Metalcore and Deathcore tracks, it lacks that thunder. I mean no disrespect to you at all, it just seems that we hae very different ideas on how this track should sound.

I referenced Metallica's latest album.
