Cool mix. I think the overall feel is a bit too scooped, although maybe that’s just my taste.
Especially the low end seems overwhelmed, maybe the guitars could be high passed with a higher frequency, the bass guitar could be brought down slightly, or the guitars and bass could be multiband-compressed together on a sidechain.
The hi-hat also sounds a little harsh in places.
Maybe the stereo width could also be played around with for the guitars, they sound a bit narrow.
Lastly, the vocals seem like they are missing too much high end. What mic did you use to record them? Maybe a bit of tilt EQ or an exciter could help out.
Thanks so much! I recorded the Vox with a Sterling ST51 which tends to be a darker mic. I can hear now how the low end is a little boomy.
I’d be interested in what your reference tracks sound like. This isn’t my mug of beer but the mix is good. I could have done with the manic kick drum hits. They sounded like samples. Maybe that is a style. I just don’t know.
Yeah I did fully replace the kick with samples. Let’s just say the drummer wasn’t actually able to play those manic hits consistently. They were easier to manipulate with MIDI.
