My Mix - Burning Bridges - Zmeeja - 30-10-2016
This is my try, it was pretty hard dealing with this track. I would appreciate your feedback!

Low end is wobbling and bobbling like crazy. Guitars sound overly distorted and just wrong. There is too much compression on the stereo bus, the snare is barely audible, just like the rest of the kit. cymbals are almost completely gone.
If you had a hard time mixing this then its because you are doing way, way, way too much. you can mix this song with automation, high/low cuts and a little bit of top down mixing and it will sound awesome. or you can totally go crazy with eq and compression and end up with a overprocessed mix like this
less is more for this song, just try to get the basics right and everything will magically fall into place. don't overthink, over-eq and overcompress everything.

Thanks for the reply! I am still new to the whole mixing/mastering stuff and metal seems to be my hardest obstacle
I wil try to get this right and then reupload it!

I tried again and "Burning Bridges mp3" is the result. My main reference was Rose of Sharyn (KSE).
RE: My Mix - Burning Bridges - Blitzzz - 01-02-2017
I still hear no cymbals at all
RE: My Mix - Burning Bridges - Zmeeja - 01-02-2017
Something like this, or too much?
RE: My Mix - Burning Bridges - Blitzzz - 01-02-2017
No, they are still not where they need to be. if you use rose of sharyn (good ref mix btw) as a reference, just compare the cymbals with your mix and it should be obvious that the cymbals in your mix need to come up by 3-6 db.
Or maybe there is something wrong with your monitors?
