MFR - How's The Low End? Neo-Classical Metal

[EyreSpace]

I think I'm finished with this song, but thought I'd seek some final input. Looking for input regarding the low end in particular.

Apologies for the large file size, it's an eight minute long instrumental, 320 kbps.

Thanks.

I'm not very familiar with this music category and how this stuff typically sounds... That being said, this sounds monstrous to me. The bottom is well defined and huge at the same time. When the floor tom things happen it's double-huge. The only question I have is - what's going on with the bass guitar? Not that there isn't any, I just can't distinguish it from the guitar parts. If the bass pretty much mirrors the main guitar parts, then it's glued together really well. If there's some intricate details to the bass parts, then they're getting lost. I suspect it's a bass part that's following the guitar almost exactly for the bigness - and it's doing that really well.

This does sound quite good. A few small points.


Rhythm git. sounds pretty fizzy. Mesa? That's a little annoying, because there's some really sweet midrangey things going on there, but the fizz is obfuscating that a bit.


Drums sound nice and big...but the kick is lacking in the bottom end a bit. Now, it's entirely possible that you just can't FIT that in with all the rest of the shit that's going on in this mix, so no huge deal if it's not working.


This mix works very well for this genre, but one of my common complaints about this genre is that it's fatiguing to listen to because of all the crispy top end.
