Changes since last time:
Messed around with the drums. Tried to make them a little more standout / powerful. Did some work with the kick / snare especially.

Messed around with the bass EQ. Made a cut around the high lows to remove some of the muddiness / boom.

No opinions on the riff / songwriting / playing needed. Opinions and feedback on the mix / sounds / tones desired.

If you want to be ESPECIALLY helpful compare this tone to bands such as: Unearth, Killswitch Engage, and As I Lay Dying because that's the sound I'm going for in a nutshell.

Thank you!

I like it a lot. Unfortunately I have like the Jaedong of headaches right now so I can't give my full in-depth opinion. (headache has nothing to do with your music)

I think you hit the sound your going for very nicely. It sounds very nice. It reminds me of those bands you listed in fact... (imo that's a bad thing, whahahahahahhaahhahaah)

No that was Mydnyte CrownRoyal.

Haha thanks Motiva, this isn't my song . It's a tune from my old old band's album that never came to pass, but will now come to pass :D

I really like the way the bass kicks sound now. They sound a lot fuller and less clicky. However, the mix overall sounds very bass heavy. The guitars seem kind of pushed into the background.

I do like how you can actually differentiate the bass from the guitars very easily, though.

I think the snare is a bit too loud as well.

Otherwise, it sounds good.

Keep 'em coming! (:

Might just turn the guitars up. That will address all the problems you've pointed out I think PH haha. Hopefully it's that simple, will update with a new mix soon!

Ok turned the guitars up a fraction and cut some more low end from the guitars so I didn't turn up the "boominess" along with the "attack". Turned the snare top mic down a hair also.

Also thanks for all the feedback guys! You've all been very helpful (even the "it sounds awesome" comments are helpful to keep me going :D)

Yeah, that sounds a lot better. It sounds a lot more balanced, now. In particular, I think turning down the snare really made a big difference.

God, I really need to finish working on my paper...-_-

ph was right, 3rd definitely sounds better than 2nd.
The beginning with the.. one guitar being more in the background (is there a better way to call that?)
really sounds pretty KSEish. One thing that's certainly different is the easily distuingishable bass which is a good thing imo.
Other than that it doesn't sound quite as "rich" and "fat" like those bands but I can't imagine that's possible without a professional studio. (never listened to unearth though) If it is I'm not gonna pretend to know how ^^

good job as always

Ha same thing here... whenever I record something I just press the record button, maybe add some effects and thats it ^^
I really need to play me e-guitar more often instead of my acoustic, I think it feels neglected
