At Wizzo

Loved your mix, the tremolo/delay during the bridge is a nice idea.
Nice drums too, subtle hi hat, mine is brutal and distorted (as I wanted). Just a fatter snare would have been better for me.
Perfect control of the hits generally.

You should have more control on the amount of vocals maybe.
Clean low mid !

I definitely need the use of the guitar's DI tracks during with another amp to make it bigger.

The clean guitars are too loud during the verses and the ending for me, so there is a loss of power there.

Other than that, I wouldn't say your mix isn't better or worse than mine, just very different.

Congrats for the mix, one of my favourites.
A very thank you , really appreciated your review . Yeah I realized the vocal need more control in some words ,very good point in clean guitar as well because I defiantly need some serious treatments in my room (it's not as much loud here) but in my headphone yeah defiantly loud !
I'll take your notes and working on it .. Thanks .

2nd round mix..

mp3: https://app.box.com/s/wxc6nj7ssm516w31hwenpe446t6scabp
wav: https://app.box.com/s/jzto05j10ibgx4vshf8tcjh81f9xg69b

took out reverb from the vocal break part and replaced it with a subtle color echo, also filtered the vocals a bit for greater contrast.
The rest, pretty much everything else was touched... mix is now balanced, solid'n'dense without sounding mastered.

Hope you like it! :)

Hi,

here's my update. I added some space to make the verses less "bland" and also tried even harder to make her scream (wow, that sounds wrong... :hihi: ). I struggled with the singer a lot during mixing, because she is not putting that much emotion into it and it's really hard to get a vibe going. Also I made sure that Chorus 1&2 are more driving (little rebalancing).

Hello!
I did everything from the wishlist (dryer verses, bass upfront with mids, some saturation on snare).
Thank you.
