Warning: Master might be loud! Turn down the volume.
I am an audio student with about 2-3 years of mixing experience, but I sometimes come onto cambridge to see what others think of my mixing.
I was rather surprised by how good some of the mixes for this song were on the forum. The song has a lot of tracks, so I honestly thought that plenty of people would have difficulty. Then again, sometimes songs with more tracks are easier to mix, but I was still shocked.
I found it harder than normal to compete with the official mix as well as the best mixes on the forum. I wanted to get a heavy metalcore-type sound out of the song, but I don't feel like I did that. I tried to keep things powerful/full.
Kick, snare, and toms were sample replaced.
I used an amp sim on the guitar DIs then scrapped the rest of the guitars.
Some of the synths were given a bit of distortion to lift off some of the hiss/ting and add more fullness.
Tell me what you think! (don't hold back)
EDIT: I finally got around to revisit my mix. I feel like I made a good overall improvement. I still kept my guitar sounds over the stock ones, but I worked on reducing the bus compression as well as working on the low end. I also got to use my good speakers this time around. I plan on this mix being my final one.
