I’ve posted this on Reddit for feedback but I figured getting another set of feedback from a different platform would be beneficial too. The final song has Native American chants on it but I guess getting the instruments to have good mix is crucial. I am a novice, and using these for this particular song:
Guitars – Archetype Nolly (freshly installed trial), Nolly’s Murmur preset
Bass – EZMIX
Drums – Superior Drummer 3
Issues:
1. Fatigue; I have been mixing this since May 2020 and whatever I do I would either end up messing it up and make it slightly better. Redditors said it was muddy so I have fixed it, culprit was the bass guitar and too much of mids on the guitars (was using Mercuriall Reaxis)
2. How are my drums in relation with the song? Is the snare too soft?
3. Is there anything that sticks out but I didn’t notice? or
4. Is the mix already good and too overworked on it?
P.S: I’ll be perusing stem mastering.
I think the cymbals are the mud problem. They are hissy and adding a layer of hiss over the whole mix. I would like to hear more of the kick/snare. Toms are at a good level. I might also look at EQing the reverb and/or dialing it back a bit to clean up some more mud.
Love the song 😉
