Kev Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 So, my band have stuck a couple of tracks on Youtube/Soundcloud/Facebook and it would be great to get a few page likes from you guys and hear any comments you have! Home mixed by the singer and these are our first demos so be kind please! But any pointers on the mix would be cool https://www.facebook.com/BarbikanBand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) very impressive for a home-mixed effort. A tad too much master compression, it just gets a bit mushy in the very loudest parts. Also I really don't like the artificial drum sound but I know that's pretty standard for this genre. It'd be nice if the bass was a bit more present in the high mids, I bet you've got a great tone buried in there. Whether or not that'd suit the genre... I probably would have given the vocals a mid cut, some distortion, and more reverb/delay I hope that helps a bit. Good work anyway! EDIT: On "Fight for your life" from about 2:30 to 2:40 can I hear a click track bleeding on to something on the left hand side? Sort that out if possible Edited August 25, 2016 by cheddatom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Cheers Tom, thanks for that feedback! I agree with most of what you say. The bass is mixed in for the genre I think, have a pretty aggressive Darlkglass/Dingwall combination going on under there but not sure all that clank would fit in as well, but its certainly something to experiment with! Drums is the best we can work with at the moment, hopefully we'll be in a position to record the kit one day, but midi will have to do for now. There are a couple of artefacts in the first track actually, well spotted! They wont be repeated and hopefully Dragonfire sounds better, the comp will be rolled back for future tracks too. Cheers!

cheddatom Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 no worries! To be honest for that sort of stuff you're probably better off programming the drums, otherwise you can spend hours and hours editing to get them "super tight" and then still end up using triggers. You should get a gig at The Rigger up this way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
