This one took me more time than usual!
Is it me or do the guitar recordings sound... challenging?
They must be Amp simulations or something.. I really had a hard time blending them in without sounding too harsh but remaining powerful..

Cheers!

Hi Erjee!
Nice Punchy mix!
I like vary much your guitars and kick drum. The snare is pretty punchy but has a "plastic" quality, like too much polished, in contrast with that raw and grainy guitars (just a matter of taste btw).
Really lovely vocals.
The mix itself is powerful and rich, but i feel like there's too much low-end going on.
Nice job!
Really liked this mix.

Cheers
Joe

Joe, thanx for the feedback.
I agree the lows were a bit too dominant (although in general I like that Smile) and I tamed the bass guitar a bit.

I think I understand your snare point, and gave it more mids for that 'raw' quality.
not sure if it is better that way..

I made a new mix (MIX2)

[edit] ... and I added some more room to the drums.. MIX3 Smile

Cheers!

Hi! I've listened to the 3rd mix and i really like it... Snare sound really well. You create a nice place for every instruments and it's tight and punchy.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Erjee,
yeah, guitars are...special!
I really like your mix.
Maybe the drums could be a bit more compact/balanced (sometimes some parts stick out). Frequency wise a bit more highs could help.
But in total it´s a nice shot!
Please let me know, what you think of my mix, thanks.
