Perpetual Escape - Roots of mankind - PeteShifter - 21-01-2017
Hi there!
Here's my mix. Hope you'll like it.
Took me a lot of time, I'm not used to mix so many guitar tracks.
The challenge was to find a decent sound for the guitars (raw sound very boxy + lacking lows) and the toms.
Thank you for your feedback

Hey Pete,
Nice, clean and dynamix! Love it! Guitars sits very nicely. The only thing i noticed within first few seconds is the shape of the kick. Just got impression it doesnt fit. Super stuff

Thank you Lethan!
About the kick, can you be more specific ? Please explain with simple words, I'm French...

Hi Pete,
I wrote it wrong i like how it sounds a just feel it has to much piority in the mix. Like its too strong in the mix.
But you know, i may not know what im talking about . Maybe its a matter of taste or maybe the genre needs to be like that. Im amateur

Mmm, I don't know, I'm a drummer, drums are never loud enough! LOL

Hi Peter,
I like your mix ,sounds good on my monitors.
The intro sounds great ,after the intro when the guitars come in the panned guitars sound a little out of phase or too much low end in the side channels. The snare and kick may have a touch too much attack which I like !
Here is a simple screen capture of playing around with your mix just for us to see on this forum.

Hi thedon!
Thanks for the improvements you show in this video!
I agree with them all. Usually, metal guitars are recorded with a mic very close to the cabinet. So they're full of low frequencies. The boxy sound and the lack of lows make me think the mics were to far. I tried to bring the lows back to life with several plugins, each one boosting a db or two max. Maybe the addition of plugs flipped the phase. Or maybe it's my panning that needs to be fixed.
I definitely should use a sub mono summing plugin.
I'll check that and post a new version.
Thank again!

Salut Johann !
Will write in english so it's gonna easier for our non french friends
The first thing I noticed is the brightness of the overheads and hats. I can hear a lot of compression on my drums. It's pumping everywhere :p
Did you set your release times very fast ? It usually happens in this case. Snare is very punchy but I think it could be improved with less compression.
Overall your mix is punchy and agressive. It suits our music pretty well !
Keep it up !
