is this sounding too harsh on the high mids? https://55chan

I've heard this track spammed everywhere in the last days FFS
>too harsh
way too harsh
and lower the LUFS jesus, don't fall victim of the loudness war

>I've heard this track spammed everywhere in the last days FFS
i'll stop when i get it right
>way too harsh
do you have a guess on how to fix it? i'm tired of cutting frequencies and getting it to sound muddy and lifeless

dont know what a LUFS is but i like it loud

>I like it loud
It's too loud, to the point it's losing dynamicity and to the point it's clipping. Stay at -6 dB as a peak target until you know what the fuck you're doing, don't level up everything to 0.
Here you'll find it normalized at -18 LUFS (true peaks -10.3 dB) with loudnorm.

You'll hear only two differences: one, the volume is just a little lower (but that doesn't mean shit) and two, a lot of headroom that could have been used... is not there. Because you clipped, and you level'd up everything to zero, dumbing everything down.
>cutting frequencies
no, you shouldn't "cut", you should equalize.

yeah thats what i meant. cut, as opposite of boost, with an equalizer. but it seems you have no idea besides "its too harsh and needs some eq cut" it seems.
and ok i'll decrease the limiting.

youre missing so many mids on this whole track imo.
you need to calm down on the kick, i can feel your drummer kicing my fcking head in. act, the rvb on your kit just doesnt suit the rest of the song, very noticably on hh etc.
i can only hear the strumming of your ac gtrs.

how do i fix that

>you need to calm down on the kick, i can feel your drummer kicing my fcking head in
lol ok will do that. is it mostly on the sub lows, though?

>act, the rvb on your kit just doesnt suit the rest of the song
as in too much drum reverb?

>i can only hear the strumming of your ac gtrs.
its an electric guitar miked to give an acoustic effect bc i dont have a decent acoustic

>>75085060
i would just not use it bro (strumming mic) pretty pointless as it doesn't really add anything beneficial. unless you put it way down in the mix, boosted your mids quite a bit on it (in a nice way, have a play around, maybe cut some hm/h)

>how do i fix that
try bypassing a lot of your eqs and adding them back in, ask yourself "does this make my track sound better or am i losing something" also try not to use solo as much

>lol ok will do that. is it mostly on the sub lows, though?
needs to be way down, start your processing on it again, it doesnt need to be as clicky or suby.

>as in too much drum reverb?
ye, u dont really need much if at all desu, just put a nice rvb on your snare (dont make it sound like fucking rem or some shit)

is this any better?

please compare to another modern rock mix so you notice if the eq is too focused

>>75084822
just checked it and... there is a 5db headroom. past that is the drum peaks.

>>75085153
its mostly for the acoustic pickin sound
i was trying to get a bigger, nice roomy sound but you said its sounding bad so i turned it back down 3.5db
