sounds pretty good. the one thing that stood out to me was that maybe the vocals could be more upfront in the mix.

thanks man, the main vox are kinda half assed ad-libbed, Im working on the real ones


the kick is buggin the hell out of me

I also record and play cheesy hard rock (samples coming soon, hopefully), so I can't pass this up...

First off, I like the song!

The drums are not present enough. I'd like to hear more high end on the snare. I agree with you about the kick--it's too soft. There are a few minor timing problems in the drums, too. No big deal, but every so often I hear a kick hit that's not tight.

I dig the bass tone. The guitars are good, too. You might suck some of the mids out of the guitars. Not necessarily the "death metal scoop", but they're a bit too midrangey in my opinion. Maybe find the most offensive frequencies and notch them out?

I won't comment on the vocals since you said they're still being developed.

I think the mix as a whole needs more balls. I'm not sure what would help with that, as I'm no expert myself. But it is missing something in the lows and/or low-mids.

thanks Bob, I am going to tweaking this thing tomorrow, I appreciate the insight.
