Hi everyone,
I just finished my first mix and although I have followed the whole process of the book till the end. However, I decided to upload the Dry version of the track (without any reverbs, delay, stereo expanders etc.) since the Wet version seemed to be much worse than the first one.
Suggestions:
- Push back the vocal a bit more, I think the track would have more intensity if it sounded like the singer really had to work to be heard over the guitars.
- Also automate it so that the loud parts are a bit quieter.
- Guitars sound very "cleaned-up" which is good, but I think more fullness (lows/low-mids) would help to make it feel really heavy.
- Panning on the Drums is wierd. Ride pretty much in the center, toms all over the place. I would try recreating a real drumset, either from Drummers or Audiences POV.
- Bass is audible but not really distinct. Would like more definition.
- Also uplaod the Wet version aswell please.
