Hey superize, here I go
-The drum and guitars entry is super low compared to the intro, some serious explosion is needed so its best to decrease the sound of the intro. Same feel at 4.30 -The drums from there are too high as level. -did you pan the guitars and drums? its all (guitar+drum) mono-like after the synth or at least narrow (At 5 I noticed you panned the guitar) Your virtual instrument usage to me is cool and the guitar tone isn't bad either. My advice is first download this plug-in; http://www.voxengo.com/product/msed/ As you probably know nailing level+panning (including automation of these) is the biggest part of a mix. What I'd like you to do is place some songs you like inside a DAW and then open this plug-in. with the plug-in; if you side-mute then you'll hear everything thats in the middle/center (no panning) of the mix and if you mid-mute then you'll hear whats on the left+right. Also you can use L/R balance of the track to hear what the mix engineer placed on the sides. So this gives you some sort of 3d perspective of a mix for analyzing what you already like to listen and implement them in your own mixes. Since you use vsti and can handle guitar tone based on this mix I'd say don't rush into other fx yet before really nailing the fundamentals. Also, when mixing don't shoot for an exact album sound cause an album is mastered...just stay true to your core recording/vsti sound, sort of like a perfect live concert sound. Hope it helps This post has been edited by Mertay: Feb 10 2017, 11:58 PM |

Just saw this and these are some GREAT tips. Well done MERTAY!!! I honestly think this entire post should go in our recording wiki!! I agree with all of it.
