I just mixed it this afternoon, and now that I've worked with it, I respect your mix even more! That sibilance is impossible! I think you did a much better job than I, but I'm posting my first attempt, so check it out. Thanks!

Mystical F,
i found your mix very nice, especially the vocals are great.
I found that the guitars need some more treatment.
I would brighten a bit the drums too, just to sit nicely with those beautiful esses on vocals.
Very nice job!!

Yes I think it would be great if drums a bit brighter. Thanks for suggestion!

The mix sounds killer!! I really like the approach you took with the all the instrumentation. The more metal/punk sound of your mix really shows a different side to the track. What samples did you use for the drums and what did you use to trigger them? I working on a mix to upload for this track but I'm having a hard time triggering the snare because of the amount of bleed and variation of the hits.

Over all i think this mix is good , just a few things i would say
drums- the toms seem to spread apart to much - other then that i like your drums
bass sounds nice
Guitars : the guitars sound good , but to me they seem very thin in the chorus
other then that i enjoy the mix

Hey thanks buddy!
I'm using my own custom samples that I've been recorded myself for last couple years. For this particular mix, I'm using Pearl Vinnie Paul and Pearl Brass (dont remember specific) and blended together with original snare.
I'm using ApTrigga from company called Appulsoft, they're cheap and very friendly on CPU. I recommended you guys to checking it out. Yes, that's the main reason I'm using samples. The drum recorded not so good, and the bleed was killing me. And also I'm using lots and lots of automation cause the hihat really loud on overhead too.
Hope this help.

Yes, it was the time I'm using LCR method. So I pan everything on hard left, hard right, dead center and no in between. Including toms, hard left and right.
Thanks for listening and comment here. Appreciate it.

Really love your drum sound but feel like they maybe take centre stage abit too much for me - like the mix otherwise! Check mine out if you get a chance cheers
