bash new ska tune

[schlongson81]

ok i did a lot of fixes to it i realized that somewhere along the line i turned off GR3 so the guitars were just a DI tone. Brought the guitar levels down quite a bit, doubled them panned hard left/right, added compression on drums.

i'm leaving the last mix before this one up for comparison

That's pretty catchy Guitars are definitely way too loud on my studio monitors as well. Especially since they are the main drivers of the right side of the spectrum. Drums are almost inaudible, but lowering the guitars and bringing ug the overall mix will give them a little bit more insight...they'll still need to come up some though

Cool tune mayne!

The bass sounds out of key between beats 6 - 8 and it sounds too much on the left, should be more centered.

[schlongson81]

thanks, there is a note thats a half step low if i'm hearing the same part, and i'll center the bass...i know dick about mixing but i know a tad bit more thanks to ya'll

i like it, everyones said what needed to be said about the mixing. Ska revival!

Copy the guitars to another track and pan one track full left and one full right, keep the bass center. You will have a more balanced mix that way. The tones aren't bad at all. You could get those drums moving if you worked on some compression.

another badass tip thank you sir

2nd mix is clearly better but the guitar sounds a tad thin.

The kick is way too boomy.
Try adding some mids and or take out some of the low end so the rest of the mix can breathe.
