new song on soundclick

I wish my mixes sounded this good. The guitars sound huge. Excellent quality!

i listened to hello and i like the wah guitar going on in this song.
its hard for me to comment on individual sounds since im on dial up and am forced to listen lofi but the vox sound good.
your guitar playing is great gott sorta a bluesy vibe to it realy liked it alot.
tim

thanks those are bfd2 which is quite a pain in the butt to learn but it gives back alot once you do.
most drummers i have tried out for the band think the drums are from our last drummer till i tell them different. the cowbell came from dimension pro i believe and i put it in manually with my axiom 61.
i use the multi outputs in bfd2 and assign each drum piece its own track and then i eq and compress to fit in the mix.

hey tim

gotta say this is one genre i totally hate...wish fred durst and the korn lot would never have happened - but having said that, your mix is excellent! the downtuned guitars work well, you've obviosuly paid a lot of attention to eq to keep the guita and bass separate. personally i'd have made the bass a bit dirtier rather than the clean tone you have. drums sound good, though i'd put the cowbell in the recycle bin. love the screamo vox, more of those please! short and to the point, like to hear more of your stuff

Sounds like a good mix to me! Those drums DO sound good and the guitars are great. I would bring the vox up a bit too. The abrupt ending was a bit of a surprise, but it works!

Great sounding mix mate, love the guitar.

Good mix, especially on the guitars. I usually get mud whenever I try to add that much drive to my guitar. Good vocals and separation. Very interesting sound at about 2:20, i have no idea what that was but it transitioned to the end of the song quite well.

Hi, Tim,

Dynamite mix, nice thick guitars and the bass and drums still have plenty of room to breathe. Great song, sort of like Nine Inch Nails meets ZZ Topp. Good job!

I agree with the others a really good song. I think you've done a excellent job on the mix. If any thing maybe just a bit more volume on the vox. How many tracks did you have to get that guitar sound. GREAT JOB!

thanks for the listens guys,
i am writing all the suggestions down and am going to go over them with the other 2 members and see what happens.
all songs have 2 distorted guitar tracks with guitar rig3 as a amp, one is panned hard left and one is hard right 100% on each end.
theres very little eq and hardly no compresion added, of course there are some cuts and boosts on the main instruments like guitar kick and bass but just enough to roll over behtoven and make room. thanks for the listens.

you are very generous Jon C.
although i do like the mix on my bands songs i am my hardest critic.
i always hear something that i didnt hear before and it drives me nuts till i fix it lol.
as far as the writing of the songs go will cooper is one of the finest musicians i have ever had the privilege to work with, without him nos would come to a screeching halt.
his full time job is promoting and building what we hope will be one of the premier metal bands someday.
he works everyday doing this and takes a lot of pride in it .
and what can i say about our newest member Kenny on vox ( he never stops amazing me with his talent) guys let me be honest , when he sang most of these songs he hadn't even heard them before lol, will had sang a scratch track to them and Kenny went off that.
and on many of them we went with his first take.
anyway im glad you guys enjoyed them and took the time to listen.
and heres my promise to you, even though i am on dial up i will listen to as many of your songs as i possibly can and give back what has been giving to me.
thanks everyone Tim.

thanks for the listen,we had a lot of fun recording this one.
this is the radio ready edited version lol, the original lyrics went a little different but it never got recorded that way.
in fact we just sent our cd out for radio play and it went out to a list or record company's as well.
thanks for the listen and your generous words and happy tracking to you tim.

Tim, I listened to this the other night when I reviewed your site. Nice mix on the guitars. I'm a poor one to judge as this type of music came on the scene between quiting my road days and getting back into playing. That time frame I spent totally immersed in jazz. So I really don't know much about the genre. But I can appreciate how much work it takes to get a level mix and a "clean distored" sound. I thought the drums were a little too loud, but then as we discussed, I'm a poor one to judge drums . I like the words, clever. Consistent mix. What are you using for your guitars, pedals, preamp, amp, etc. ?
