ok so I mixed the "Ill Fate" song and sound wise I tried to keep it more natural than I would on something personal. Where as on this one I just wanted to have fun and produce it as I would if the band came to me for a mix down.
So I replaced :
Snare, Kick and toms.
Made my own Room to mix the old recording and samples together.
Gave the song a more modern fat low-end.
I personally like cleaner sounding guitars( when I say cleaner I mean less distortion fuzz) so pod farm diamond head and messiah impulse cab . I Also went for a tiny Hi-gain bass tone to give it that extra " Modern Metal-core" touche.
I also(for the first time ) Tried to use the c6 side-chain function so that the kick/bass and snare/guitars would fit better together while remaining chunky.
and parallel compression on the bass and kick which I never thought about doing before today but its really killer.
Please tell me what you think, ANY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM would be amazing as I'm still really new to mixing.
