Speaking of sound quality, you obviously know how to mix and master tracks well right?

Actually I want to know what you think sounds better

Gimme three minutes and I'll check fer yeah

If you ever want help mixing something I'd love to offer what I can.
IM GETTIGN FRUSTRRATED

I've heard the Soundcloud one. This puush thing is loading as that so I'll keep trying but

The Soundcloud one, most noticeable is the lack of bass. The guitar tone itself lacks pretty much any low end, making the kicks the source of all the bass, and kinda making everything sound super divided between a little bass, and a lot of mids
Given that it's so short, and with not much focus on the drums, the guitar tone and lack of bass are all I can comment on.
Also, the guitar tone has a noticeable overschlick and it makes me uncomfortable in the palm muting sections

Also I know if you asked like Chris or Campbell they might tell you otherwise so don't write me out of your will if this isn't great feedback

Let me listen to other
I see you're on Horriblesubs and listening to Vocaloid lol

I need any kind of feedback that'll help me get better at mixing
But thanks for the details dude

Okay I kinda forgot what the guitar tone from the soundcloud one sounded like but I know they're similar, although this Mediafire guitar tone sounds more rounded out?
Let me check cuz maybe Im just WOW way off
NO I WAS RIGHT FOR ONCE!
Yeah the mediafire one has more low end throughout the mix. It's a bit awkward sounding, kind of like it was added on to everything, rather than everything else being taken away, you know?
So guitar tone is better fosho

The drums though, I preferred the mix of the Soundcloud one. The snare sounds better here, tighter and poppier, but the cymbals are kinda muffled, and the kick is really weak feeling, and sounds like it's in an unnatural frequency range.

That's about what I can offer

Hold a sec

AND ANDREW QUIT SNOOPIN
I never use my browser actually
So all these tabs have been open for months maybe
Except the vocaloid one
I was trying to find more Kagamine Rin and Len songs
Okay now one sec

Here are some metal albums I've done

First is like an oldschool slam album, and I spent so long on the mix. I really wanted to give it like an 80's fuzz over everything kinda

Second is stupid fun deathcore with Andrew Rodriguez as vocals, if you know him
The whole track was written and recorded in like 3 hours and used mostly the presets I have for my plugs

The third album was the last JDE album, of which there are tons
It was a split with a noise dude, but I've had a lot of people tell me that this is the best sounding album I've put out

I don't know

I'm not sure what the best sounding album I've ever put out is, but it sure as hell isn't a JDE album
Immix Rejectamenta, by Interspersing Bone And Blood
9 track album
interspersingboneandblood.bandcamp.com

ACTUALLY MAYBE

LIKE OLD JDE HAD THE GNAR
WHEN EJ AND CAMPBELL WERE IN THE BAND
But so yeah maybe these albums will help you see how I mix metal stuff more

The slam stuff has my favorite mix of the three by far

Made that screenshot my desktop background because it's been broken for a while with just a black screen but changing it to that worked
its unpleasant andrew
I really really love the guitars in your project and Lifeless Addiction
Is James, James Mchenry?
His snapchat name is "JamesExists"
if that has a connection to anything
Your vocals are amazing

Ahehehe I met James after I put out this album, and he saw it on one of those russian blogs or whatever:
https://jamesdoesntexist.bandcamp.com/album/the-return-to-sanity
16 year old me's attempt at something more progressive
Vocals suck but guitars aint bad

But yeah he found that and then learned I lived like 25 minutes from him
Kind of cool as shit actually

And which vocals? haha a lot of people tell me that my vocals are actually not that great, and it bums me out a lot. A lot of reviews I've gotten from people in the past usually say the vocals just sounded weird or something
idk

Lifeless Addiction was the band that I started when I was 12, and released an album for when I was 14. It was my 3rd release and it is no longer online, because while the songs are actually still kickass(planning on rerecording them), the production is sooooooooo trash

The label Robo Robotica! somehow picked up the very first album I ever put out, by The Richter Execution, so I have to live with that floating around

Otherwise I think everything I've ever made is online now

Oh except SEB666
No one talks about SEB666
Unless you really want to, and a lot of people really do and bug me to shit about playing those songs live even though I'm over it so god damn hard
The Return To Sanity, by James Doesn't Exist
5 track album
jamesdoesntexist.bandcamp.com

at the end of the day nothing i produce is all that great but what do you expect man i live with my parents
idk how you aren't famous by now you're a musical genius

When I was 12, all I could produce was more electrical bills for my parents
12:52AM
What do you use for your guitar tones? I'm having trouble getting a decent tone, I'm using a pirated version of Pod Farm and some of the amps don't even work
8:52AM

I got Logic express as a birthday present when I was 12 I think because I was getting really into playing bass and guitar, so I made it a challenge to myself to write a full song every day. I managed to keep it up for like half a year and I even recorded a lot of them. They were mostly lost when I got my own computer and my dad wiped my stuff from his, but they pop up in my finder from time to time as a reminder of what a little piece of cunt I used to be
Then when I was 13 or 14 I met this kid named Max Richter who changed my life in that I had never hated anyone so much that it made me as violently ill as he did
Like this kid
Ho boy this kid
But long story short, the first album I ever released was just to spite him because he kept talking shit about me and my abilities, with him "as an ACTUAL musician", so I'd shove it in his face that at the very least I was producing something and he was being trash riding dirt bikes until he crashed and ruined his chances of making it a career like he wanted to when he fucked his arms up or something
There was something involving dirt bikes

If I still had POD farm installed, I'd send you my old presets for it
I used to mic up my Spider IV but that's a baby amp for toddlers, and it sounded much better to just use D/I, so I saved up money and bought POD farm and used that for a while
With like stacking tones, it's possible to get a bit of djent out of it, although it always seemed to work better with like melodeath type tones to me

Now, if I really want to get a feel to the guitars on something, I'll mic up my Peavey XXL halfstack(now blown out though) with a condenser and dynamic mic and then blend them together. That's how I got the guitar tone in the Interspersing Bone And Blood album. I dialed in more condenser than usual too I think to give the guitars like a really transparent gnarly crunch that I like a lot

For D/I now, which for my grindcore/anything-i-dont-really-care-much-about stuff is mostly what I use because i'm not going to mic up my shit to record a five minute album and it sounds good sometimes:
Native Instruments Guitar Rig 5 I think is the version

I have an uncle who's always been really supportive of me making music, and for Christmas one year I received from him NI Komplete and not gonna lie it kind of changed my game
My uncle was also the one who got me Logic when I was 12 or whatever
I think he really likes music a lot and wishes he could play it, but he can't so he wants to live slightly vicariously through me
Both him and my dad are like really kind of
Calculating in a bad way
Like my dad learned to play piano when I was younger because we had one and he was bored or some crap and decided to learn how to play
I've only heard him play once or twice but it doesn't sound right
Like he reads the music
He plays it all perfectly
But it's like hearing MIDI piano
It's all there but it's not you know?
It's kind of like an uncanny valley

But yeah Guitar Rig 5 is part of NI Komplete, and when I borrowed a friends RG8 I sat down for a few days and made a couple "heavy tones" that I use as a basis for whatever I need
There's still one tone I haven't tried making yet though because it's hard and im scared and that's the Rotten Sound/Magrudergrind/The Drip/every good grind band tone
The sound of like nails on a chalkboard pitchshifted into a lowmid register and then infused into the most distorted amp you could imagine
