This band is coming into finish tracking vox tomorrow and I would like your suggestions on this mix. I feel like it's really close.

Thanks
Ed

My first impression is this... Acoustic sounds great. Maybe a little more reverb on the sidestick snare or bring it back in the mix a little. I couldn't hear the kick drum much at all, maybe some compression and a few db boost. Maybe a little more bass guitar. Overall not much low-end punch. Sounds good overall though. Rock on!

on the distortion part, the guitar on the right sounds kinda muddy, like it could be panned out more, or its just too loud. also a few timing issues, but subtle. also, the tone of the lead guitar is kinda shrill and kind of annoying tbh. none of that has to do with you, but im just sayin what im thinkin. overall, i think its pretty good

Thanks for the suggestions so....so far i should

bring up kick and snare a tad
bring up bass a tad
work on the guitar eq some

anything else? acoustics too loud in chorus you think?

focus on the right channel's guitar parts. they sounded pretty shrill and i dunno how to explain... just stuck out in a bad way. nothin you can't fix....

yea i felt like that one had way too much high range

There are many timing issues throughout the song. Recorded with a click? I think the major issues have been said already. These guys need to practice with a metronome and tighten up.

Hello just listened to most of your tracks from myspace.com.
My experiance with myspace is they realy degrade your recordings when you upload to there site, its great for getting your songs out to your friends etc.. but my advice would be dont go ripping your mixes apart because someone has heard them through myspace.

best of look, i enjoyed your songs Thumbs Up

you can check my site for a final mix...its myspace but i no longer use the myspace player because of how it degrades quality,,,we have a flash player that just streams the mp3 off of my server,

its friend of a friend - seasons btw

peace
