Generally is a good mix. I like it a lot!! And the mix and the song itself.

What Drum VSTi do yo use? Is it EZdrummer?

I suggest you cut some midrange in your kick drum to have less "boxiness".
And try to add some midrange to your snare drum. It's too thin and it's too bad cause the the song is really great.

P.S: 2:05 FUCKING BREAKDOWN

are you willing to send me the mp3 to add some "mastering" things on it?
then I'll send you back the new-processed one and tell me if you'd like it.

If you are afraid to distribute it cause of the copyright thing it's ok by me I hust wanna help and experiment Smile

Only thing i hate in S.D is the lack of Kick's and Snare's..Especially the Kick's sound pretty much same..

Try Ludwig Supraphonic 402 for snare (FearComplexMusic) suggested it to me and also see his video for tweaking the snare drum:

For kic drum you can always use drumagog Wink

actually, i have some other Toontrack products, to use their drum parts as "x-drum", yet they might not sound so well becuz of internal mic'ing issue of the software, its kinda too hairy Razz

i'll try BFD 2 and Evil Drums pack for some time and record the same song with that program soon Wink

What mastering software did you use?

If you didn't, try Izotope Ozone 4 it rocks!

Subject: Re: Check my mix, guys! Fri Sep 03, 2010 10:56 am

actually, i did not do much in the name of "mastering" Razz

all i've done for some experience was grinding a little with T-Racks 3 and giving some EQ in "m-s" mode..

Subject: Re: Check my mix, guys! Sat Sep 04, 2010 2:25 pm

What about this?

I added a little midrange, cut the annoying treble sounds especially in breakdown.
I fixed the EQ a little and I used some exciters too.

There is a slight difference, but I think it's a little better.

What amplification did you use for the guitars??

Subject: Re: Check my mix, guys! Sun Sep 05, 2010 1:14 pm

Ye, song sounds better as a whole, but it feels like there's a small "hole" in the song..anyhow, just give me the freq's that u've played with..i'll post the new version of the song soon with new drums Wink

Hi folks,

The song you uploaded (I mean Slammer88) is awesome. From my listener-like perspective the song really has it's balls. There is some micro technical parts which I would to fix, but everything else is very good.

Now I want to get some ideas for my record (It's a Death cover). Smile

I have uploaded a finished product (Mastered). So I'll be waiting for your criticism. Here it is:

http://rapidshare.com/files/417233210/Death_-_Crystal_Mountain__EzDrummer___Master_.mp3.html

As you see it has no Vocal. Maybe you know who could try to record a vocal track Smile

Subject: Re: Check my mix, guys! Sun Sep 05, 2010 6:00 pm

tell me that micro parts then mate,i have to learn Razz

btw it says;"Unfortunately right now our servers are overloaded and we have no more download slots left for non-members. Of course you can also try again later" for me..i'll listen that a lil time later mate Wink

Subject: Re: Check my mix, guys! Sun Sep 05, 2010 6:10 pm

Now I'm listening your record once again. Sorry for my opinion 10 minutes ago Embarassed

, but now I withdraw. First time it sounded different to me. Maybe I need to listen more, then to say something pale

Subject: Re: Check my mix, guys! Sun Sep 05, 2010 7:34 pm

dont bother about that mate, i'll change the guitar tone and drums and post it again soon Wink

It would be wise to create a new topic for a different song so that we can be more organized Smile

I'll listen to your song when I get back from work cause they will kill me if i'll listen to a song right now (in fact I don't have speakers so... lol!

)

Oh.. and please check this topic it's useful Wink
