Yeah here's an update i hope it is better.
I cant even tell my ears are so tired and fatigued.

Love the mix. But I'm a bit iffy on the echo

[King83]

It sounds good, but I think the vocalist is getting lost a bit in the mix, have you tried EQing him and giving a boost in the 2k hz range of a few decibels maybe and see if it gives him a little more clarity (assuming you don't have other instruments sitting at that frequency). Other than that the instruments are all pretty solid.

I agree with Money, is there a lot of reverb added to the whole track? Or something else that is sort of making a "grain" effect on the overall mix?

Again the mix is sounding very cohesive but a little of the clarity is getting lost. Keep at it man we've all had those days spending too much time tweaking channels by .1 decibels and messing with compression etc

AHH yeah I noticed that on some cans.
I need to get this done tonight!
I think I reverbed the drums too much, and its cutting through everything.
On the monitors it sounded perfect.
I guess the translation didn't work out as well as I hoped.

does your band have a myspace or anything?

[alex_j_walsh]

I really like the mix, and the song, its awesome. I could be the terrible speakers I'm on now, but to me the guitars sound a tad too mushey. But yet I'm not sure. Overall, I love the song, what is the name of the band?

[Adam1423]

I agree the vocalist does get a bit lost in the mix. Just out of interest how did you get your guitar and drum sound? both are sweet!

[varamartin]

music reminds me of for the fallen dreams(i like them). i enjoy the drum mix. and same issue as listed above with the vox.

what kind of mic are you using for the guitar?

[joedan69]

Hey this is my band for everyone who was wondering.
We are called We Stand Redeemed.
we just started like a month ago, we have a myspace and stuff.
WE STAND REDEEMED (SONG UP NOW) on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Videos

And for anyone who asked what I used on guitars and drums, I used a peavey 5150 and a mesa recto cab on guitars. Used a 57.
The drums are real, replaced with Steven Slate samples.
Overheads are audix f 15
