Hello friends, I'm new here.

I bought some new plugins and used them in this mix, they are:

- bx_bassdude on guitars (I used DI tracks)
- Noiseash Need equalizer
- Arturia and Plugin Alliance compressors and saturators
- For Mastering I used Alliance plugins and Ozone 9.

I added some samples on the drums and also create a "fake room".
I slightly changed the final arrangement. Hope you like it Wink

Loudness (optimized for the soundcloud)
-9 LU
-0.3 peak
Real nice mix man , did you use bassdude on them rhythm guitars? if so it sounds pretty good for a bass sim Smile

"Loudness (optimized for the soundcloud)"
Realize that streaming services such as soundcloud and spotify simply doesnt compress signal down to their specified level , they just turn it down the same way you would do with clip gain. That being said its quite useless following those -14 -12 -9 LUFS rules because its pointless all it does is affect your dynamic range.
i really like your mix!
tone balance is good, toms are nice, eq is ok!
you lose some punch on gtz...
i think you have good monitors...

Hello Friend. sorry for the delay to reply. I don't think I received notifications.

I tried a few things on this song, but I completely changed my mixing method. I am now compressing the busses separately and experimenting with mastering in the same section. I tested this in this new mix:

And thank you so much for the praise and feedback! Smile

Sorry for the delay in responding friend. I wasn't getting notifications.

Yes, I used bx_bassdude on bass and guitars, I thought the sound of this plugin was nice. But today I have other options for that.

About loudness, I'm trying not to worry about it, but to make the music sound well independent of loudness.

Thanks for the praise and feedback!

I just posted this mix with new mixing techniques:
