Twelve Noon (Hard Rock)

Hello everyone.
 
I was wondering if some of you guru's can give me some insight on my mix. I am fairly new at most so some suggestions would be great.
 
Here's some issues I ran into. Overhead mic's had to much snare bleed. I had a terrible time trying to get the Vocals to fit nice in the mix, I am sure it could be fixed with some eq but I wasn't sure which frequency was the problem.

    If you're new at this, it doesn't show.  This has drive and energy up the yin yang.  The guitars, bass, and drums fill my speakers, and a casual listener would think this was any one of several heavy metal bands.  I think you're definitely going in the right direction, and I'm sure you will find a fan base among the metal fans on this forum.

    All the best,

    Generally speaking the mix is good.

    You might be stressing on the snare in the OH, IMO. If you're not getting the snare sound you want you might try using the "drum replacement" technique in the Cakewalk webinar if you can't afford Slate's Trigger or Drumagog.

    WRT the mix I feel the guitars were too muddy for my taste. That does not mean they are wrong. It could be a taste thing.

    Your bass guitar could use a bit more definition. You could HPF @ 80Hz and then try adding 2-3db boots @ somewhere between 1.5-2KHz to give it some snap.

    Vocal levels are really good.

    The song is a good one.

    This is really nicely done.  So, this is a live mix?  No, right?  Great singer.  Actually, everyone sounds really good.  Drums sounded nice and tight to me.  I don't do the mixing for the Pugtones, Mark does, so I am coming strictly from a listener's point of view, not an engineer's.  I was enjoying it as is and didn't hear anything that stuck out as though it wasn't working.  You rock!
