here's my mix of this track any feedback would be very appreciated. Thanx!!
The kick sounds amazing! maybe if the the snare had a bit more crisp, it would pull some of the mix to the center. The guitars sound nice and wide!
I like the fact you placed the reverse reverb vocal at the start of the song. Overall it sounds like the you dipped the mids on the master buss (1khz to 3khz)which takes some of the definition away from the guitars and makes the mix seem farther away. However that being said, thats a preference thing not necessarily a mix thing. Better than most.
yeah, the kick drum is indeed awesome Big Grin i like the "smacky" (dont know if this word exists...) attack sound of your kick drum. For my taste the guitars could be a bit more present (not louder in general) especially in the mids, so the vocals arent that dominant compared to the guitars. i like the singer to cut through the guitars just a little bit in this style of music. The panorama job on the guitars sounds nice to me. Your overall sound is quite natural and warm, and i like it. Still you could try to get rid of a bit of the low mids and higher bass frequencies and boost mids-highmids a bit, to get a bit more transparency. Like TroyG already sayd, the snare drum could use some more punch at its low end, to make it more competitive in relation to your (nice) kick drum, and maybe even a bit less attack sound of the stick and its high end. I really like, what you did with the bass guitar Smile its pretty present, while not fighting for the very low frequencies too much. Did you use some sort of distortion on it to get that sound? Only thing that i noticed was, the high notes in the chorus peak out a bit (after the singer finished his "you make me sick". Overall this is definitly a nice mix! Most of the things i mentioned are rather questions of taste and/or could be easily done in a mastering process. greets!
