Here is my version of this song, tell me what you think about it, good or bad comment, I need it.
The mix sounds quite tight and punchy only thing is snare drum seems a bit too thin and snappy to the point of hurting ears.
I like the dryness of your mix which is goal in modern sound production, just like back in 70's.
It was quite hard to get rid of boxy sounding guitars in order to make them sound fuller.
The bass had some nasty resonance before to it as well, it's not easy to get pleasing tone while keeping those frequencies around 130 Hz@-24 dB or more depending on normalization.
Thanks for the comment ! the snare was so boxy sounding I think I pushed too much at 10Khz. I will rectify that and the kick as well that need more attack I think. For the guitars I used vitalizer instead of eq to open the sound, You think it still sound boxy ? for the bass I've cut some of the 130hz and pushed more the 50-60 cause it was more pleasant and did the opposite for the kick drum.
Hello. Thanks for the reply. No it's not too boxy, the main thing is bass guitar drone in this song which is easily heard in your mix, only thing is if someone will listen it on medium sized plastic speakers then enclosure might resonate too much, keeping the 60 Hz at reasonable levels helps to smooth things out a bit.
