Devil's Word

[Mike Z]

These are not exactly raw tracks. Some of the guitars have flanging on them and some of the vocal tracks have Autotune/Melodyne artifacts on them. There’s also a drum reverb track but the original drums are missing.

Here are some of the things I did in my mix:

Substitution on kick, snare and toms
Evened out the bass and vocals with volume automation and light compression
Edited the ending to make it less abrupt
Put light compression on the guitars keyed off the lead vocals
Put an EQ cut at 2200 on tracks 24-27, backing vocals, to reduce the “chirping” artifacts
Widened the stereo image during the choruses

The balance is ok.

But mix sounds muddy and lacks excitement.

Guitars are tto quiet and lack mids/hi mids.
