Third Time's The Charm; It's Castlevania and it's metal

[Sixto]

Cut the top off, like I suggested. Put a lo-pass fiter on the guitars at around 7-8k and boost the 3-4k range. This will enhance pick attack and aggressiveness but tone down the fizzy characteristics. I do this all the time. Here's a little example.

Same theme. And...now that I listen carefully, it sounds too much like yours! Probably wasn't going to finish it anyway. IM me if you need some help with mixing tips or ideas.

Okay, I think I'm pretty much done. The piano needs some more presence during some parts (dare I say compression?), but overall the mixing is finished. I think it just needs some mastering to raise it's volume and round it out a bit.

Dang, this is getting so close. I really hate to nitpick on it so much, but this is such a great track that it needs to sound as good as possible. I'd put just a tiny bit more high end on the snares so it doesn't sound as much like a bucket, and a tiny bit more midrange on the piano so it doesn't sound like a toy. Hats could have a little bit more high end too. None of these adjustments should be that big at all, just a few little tweaks. In the intro the bass is almost non-existent; during that part, before everything else comes in, your guitar and / or bass could definitely have some more bottom end, but then keep it the way you have it now once everything else comes in. Maybe just a tiny bit more bass overall, it's kinda hard to hear. The solo is awesome, as is pretty much everything else about this. Great work man, this has come a long long way from when I first heard it!
