New song "Kjærlighet"

Jarsve,
  Sounds great on my system.  No crits on the mix.  Nice performances and a kickin tune.  Nice work!

Yeah dood, this is sounding great 

This was a deliciously challenging project to take part in (I did all the guitar tracks).
 
Turned out great Oyvind.
 
Took about a month and a half from the time I first received the original MIDI/synth version to when I delivered the last set of solo tracks. This was completely written by Oyvind except for the main solo, two of the quick little accent solos and some slight adjustments I made to the original parts (to add some extra girth to an already massive tune).
 
Thanks for the invite on this, bud.

My cardiologist made me switch to decaf to avoid elevated heart rates. If she heard this I'm pretty sure she'd add it to the list of prohibited things. 
 
So for medical reasons I was constrained from listening to the song more than four times.
 
Guitar work's great. Now, I'm no expert in the Dumpster Core genre, but I'd bring up the vocals and bass a bit and back off the kick. Yeh, I know that forward clicky kick is an essential component in metal genres, but IMO it should take care not to bury the vocals and bass. Or that excellent guitar work.

Hi, impressive sounds and production,  excellent guitar work.  For me the vocal could be a bit louder, gets a bit buried in the mix.

Thanks. I think I hear what you mean about the vox but it might be a sympton of maybe some of the leads being a tad loud? Definitely think the awesome vox deserve the spotlight. She's such a great singer. I do however find it impressive Jarsve was able to keep the leads and and vox pretty clear and present when they are both going at the same time.
 
Thanks for listening.

Heheh. This definitely does not fall into the Dumpster Core genre (that was more my old punk stuff from my early twenties which was totally rotten like a pile of festering garbage... lulz).
 
Thanks for checking it out. I think maybe part of the problem with the bass (and a common problem in thick "wall of guits" type stuff like this) is maybe it's right on the verge of that annoying bass freq buildup issue. Essentially you dial in the bass perfectly and the guitars end up too thin. You dial in the guits perfectly and the bass gets all boomy. It is a really cool bass part though. I've of course heard it in isolation. In my little remix version I'm trying to make it a little more present without making it boom or mess with the guits but it is a tricky.
 
BTW... did you ever get that orchestral strings project together? Been meaning to ask. Sounded like a cool project.
 
Cheers, bit.
 

Heheh... don't go into the long sleep just yet, Oyvind. You have more songwriting to do.
 
;-)

Pro sounding work, great performances, love the guitars.  As others have said, I'd probably prefer a bit less of the top end on the kick drum, but that's the genre and you seem to have gotten it right.  Sounds great anyway. :)

Very cool...     Guitar work is excellent - nice one Beeps!!    And the overall arrangement and mix works well for the genre.   Yeah, the vocals get a little lost with everything else happening, but she does have a fairly "soft" voice so it would probably require some careful automation + EQ to consistently pop through.  
 
The combination of her voice and the frenetic music makes for a fairly unique metal experience IMO, or as Emerald wrote "Korn fronted by Wilson Phillips".   It's something that I can't say I've heard before!
 

Ya, this young lady shines and I totally agree she should always be front and center of a mix. I've got her dry tracks and I'll tell ya... they are damned sweet without any sweetener at all.
 
I think you got the right idea with automation Mr. Stevec. Bit of room, bit of comp and a bit of light room verb then some careful level automation is how imma gonna approach this in my little version but always and consistently right up front. The vox were performed and recorded very well (although I think Mr. Jarsve did some editing work on the tracks I received so that's a bonus/time saver).
 
Cool seeing everyone's reaction to this version because it's lasering me in on specific things to watch for myself. Of course my mix will be a hacko job in comparison but it's good experience.
 
Glad everyone is digging the guits. Been a while since I really ripped into something like this and let me tell ya... these ole hands are quite a bit softer and creakier than they were when I was 20 something. lol...
 
Got 'er done though. You always want to do more (at least I do) but eventually you gotta export, eh?
 
Thanks for listening, guys.
