critique my rawk mix

I think i have credits no?

http://soundcloud.com/bluffmunkey/the-reading

I've realised it's over compressed already, but I rushed the final mixdown as it had to be in by 8pm (UK time)

It's for a Halloween challenge incase you were wondering why I wen't all Adams Family

I completely missed the sound I was after, but i'm still fairly pleased with the results being my first stab at teh rawkz.

Very polished and cool sound. So clean yet full. Love the snare and guitar treatments.

This screams a cool dark vampish famale vox - could be massive with the right vocal.

Top notch work mate. Can't fault it. I'm not a rocky guy but this is as good as it gets and surprisingly for me something I would enjoy at full tilt in the car.

PS - wtf is RAWK?

The lyrics at the start where a little too film like thus kinda not cool. guitars missing a bit of bottom end that should be coming from the bass. Kick drum has a weird envelope. I would keep it dry and really crush the overheads and combine via NY convention. The drum beat was too computerized. A guy playing metal would always have his hats a little open and crash at any important juncture.

The shredding when you want it to be emphasized, eq it to the front. Nothing is really taking front place. The chugging needs to be double tracked and eq'd to really fill the spectrum.

Speaking of guitars, here is something that is due monday. Just playing muted 16 ths. Rather easy when you can record 10 takes and take the good. Drums were recorded via vdrums. I am quite the rocker.

Output 1-2.mp3 - 2.71MB

technically not supposed to show anyone but whatever. Just a normal tele thru ensemble preamps with amplitude that sounds great. I made a midi template from the guitar pattern and sync the hihats to make things more lively. No mixing at this point. Just some A to B composition. Also not that anyone cares but there is a triple melody fugue imbedded in that mess. I don't think you can quite hear all the parts as the winds are rather low in this raw mix. ANyways, thankfully I don't have to mix my stuff and I can leave it for the pros.

pretty bad ass for tv music if I do say so myself. The hardstyle synth as a hit is rather sick.

Normally i'd agree about the vocals but in the context of a Halloween challenge track I thought why not!

As for the mix points it's all noted. I didn't really leave myself enough time to do it properly and crammed it all yesterday. Still, I learned a lot lot forthe inevitable follow up.

hack work. 6 hours of composition and production. For tv, we just go straight into the music. No formal orchestration. ALthough I suppose knowing the libraries is a skill in itself. It does show you the pace tho in that this is something that would take less than a day to compose and record and then half a day to mix but that isn't my task. I did polish the arrangement since this recording but anyways.

I'd love to get into the score next but my PC was crucified when I tried to multi load Kontakt.

Looks like it'll have to wait.

Nice and crunchy.











Needs more cowbell and sidechain.

Seriously, good job. I like it.
