[Ezequiel Romanko]

thats funny man cuz my rythm guitarist come with that melody after two hours straight listening to beast and the harlot haha don’t ask me how or why he spent 2 hours to one song haha. in fact the intro isn’t even writted for this song it was a random intro and then i used in this song and seems to work out haha

 

[Calvin Phillips]

I was thinking bat country honestly

 

[Ezequiel Romanko]

Definitely hear a lot of Avenged influence all over the place. That’s not criticism – I like it. The drums are way too quiet, and sound kind of muddy. Guitar players do that a lot when we mix. We make the mistake of thinking the guitar is the most important thing and needs to be loudest. I used to do that, too. As a basic rule of thumb, that snare should be pretty much the loudest thing a listener hears, except maybe a lead vocal. The beat and the drums should be clearly heard across the left to right stereo spectrum, THEN find the home for the bass (down the middle) and guitars (panned 75-100% left and right) that sits within them. Try to use a high-pass filter on the guitars to remove anything below 100Hz. It sounds like you’re pretty close on that – I hear the separation of the guitars and the bass decently.

Thanks ed i will check that out your comment helps me a lot cuz i dont known much but with your help now i know where to focus on the mix thank you very much ed

Did you put the low pass or high shelf filter on the whole song? Because I think the previous version you posted here sounded way more open, it had more air. This one sounds like all the high frequencies were cut.

 

[Ezequiel Romanko]

mmm i don’t really know cuz i used presets of eq, the other one was unmixed, but i think that the eq’s from guitars have cutted the bass and i don’t know if the highs too. i will check that out

 

[Ed Seith]

You need to use the EQ and hi-pass filtering on the individual tracks, not the master buss.

If you’re recording for the first time probably be best to find a good YouTube video.itll show you what to do with the program you’re using. Mixing takes a lot of trial and error. youll get worse before you get better.

thank you very much guys i will take these reccomendations for remixing and for the other records
