I've been away from music for a long time, for a number of reasons, but i just recently got back into it, and have finally started recording an old song i wrote. I'm using Reaper. It's not totally finished just yet, but i was wanting some feedback re: my current working mix.

almost finished have a couple things to do mix advice would be greatly appreciated.

this is my new prog/thrash metal band. our first recording. no vox yet still looking or someone.
what did I do right? what needs help?

guitars recorded with vox tonelab le direct to computer.
bass is runing DI from acoustic b200h amp.
drummer uses roland electric drums and toontracks drum kit from hell.

Here is my first cover song in this forum where I took a led zeppelin song, "No Quarter" and made an upbeat metal version of it. Let me know what I need to improve here.
I have two versions: Mix 2 is the full length track with a 2:30 minute intro, and Mix 2 (Sample) which starts up with verse 1 on.
Thanks

So I learned this lesson today. Working on a song - being very conscientious about gain staging in the recording process and have been mixing as I go -- getting to a stage where the mix has revealed itself and I'm pretty clear on where I'm going. then slowly and subtly over time realizing the mix got away from me -- particularly with the levels. Basically mix creep or gain creep...

I'm getting old - and I think it's having an impact on these kinds of topics. I've had to listen to younger people's radio stations for a week or two, and I've noticed there's a new type of mix becoming very common. A voice, often male and kick and snare. In the background are the chords, the inner parts, the rest of the kit.

Hello All,

I am new to recording & mixing my own tracks, I currently have 3 tracks recorded.
This is the first I have mixed. Just like to get some feedback from you guys before moving on the other tracks as I'm sure there are many areas to improve.

Cheers Ash. (y)

Here's a mix that haven't spent that much time on yet, but hey, maybe spending too much time on a mix is what f*^"ks me up. Let me know what you like and don't like about this mix.
