X1 Mastering test (Metal song)

I've seen lots of people having problems with X1, but for me it helped improved my sound and mixing!

    For me, the eq on Hobo is much better. .02 HTH, Shep

    Thanks Js  :)

    I actually found out about the glory of HP filters lol - Hobo doesnt have a lick of that stuff on it, so once I get this all down pat it should sound even better!

    Thanks for the input!

    Mastering is all about monitors :P

    Need a song, demo or album mixed to sound great? Why waste weeks or months learning how to mix when I'm sure you'd rather spend your time writing songs and performing gigs? I can mix your tracks so that they sound fantastic. My rates are very affordable. Send me a PM to find out more.

    kinda prefer a cross between the 2 versions; the original is bassier and fatter but a rough in the mids, the x1 mix is too shrill but has a crispness...getting there....

    It was one of my other songs :)

    I fixed it up some more, and I'm pretty happy with it.

    I finished up the 3 other ones I had been working on too. These were all recorded over the last 2 years (one year of which I didnt have a working interface). Unfortunately that means they were recorded a different times and different interfaces so the sounds arent matched properly.

    Thanks for the input guys!
