Whisper To A Scream

Here is my try at this great song !

I disagree with Akor. I LOVE the way you got the snare to punch through the wall of guitars here. In fact, the whole mix has excellent balance, good punch and power while still showcasing detail. Love it!

There are only two major flaws here:

1. Vocals are WAY too loud; they need to come down at least 3 dB, possibly 4 or 5.
2. While overall balance among instruments is good, frequency balance is a bit brash and sharp. Sounds to me like too much energy in the 5-6 kHz region, particularly on the vocals. Guitars could be just a tad less bright, too. Might want to listen to Voelund's mix of this; he got the guitars spot-on, AND he recently included in the thread on his mix the specific EQ settings he used for each guitar track.

So the biggest problems here IMHO are with the vocal balance. Get that tied up and you've got a great mix here!

Thanks John for having a detailed listen !
I am happy you like the punch of the snare as I have been working on trying to tame it a touch ,I will bring the vocals down in the next remix !

The brightness in the 5-6k area is a monitoring issue I have to work on .

Thank you so much for listening and sharing your knowledge as im quite new to DAW mixing and would love to hear your comments and advice !

Cheers
Don
