Wow, what a process!

My band and I just finished editing, mixing, and mastering our first single from our upcoming EP. This is the first time we've ever taken a crack at the process, so any feedback on the recording and/or song is much appreciated.

Sounds great! I subscribed to you guys on youtube
One suggestion: I would have turned the vox up slightly in the mix, but thats just me
Great job!

Thanks on both counts! I'll mention the vox level to the guys.

All the levels and mixing sound great and overall, its a great sound

If the rest of the EP is of this quality (and style of music), then I will buy it

The rest of the EP is definitely in this vein. You'll love it!

Thanks for the comments. Can't wait to post the rest of our songs in this thread as we finish them. There's a long road ahead as music isn't a full time gig for any of us.

Nice work. It sounds cool and right in my rock listening wheelhouse.

Too much compression for my tastes but sounds good.

Excellent song and the performance. Nice! I bet you guys rock the stage!

I'd also say to bump up the vox, but I'd also bump up the drums. Not necessarily the volume, but raise the threshold of the compressor. I can hear the cymbals pumping and getting a bit mushy. Not sure if you have the drums on their own bus or if it's the mastering compressor doing it. YouTube doesn't help If you listen to other music in your genre, the drums are sometimes the loudest thing in the mix (especially the kick drum).

Anyhow, that's a little outside perspective. Sounds awesome, keep it up!
