I'm gonna be honest, I really don't know how to further improve the quality of the recordings. I have experimented on quite a couple of things to improve the quality of my mixes in the venue, which is what you are hearing now! But recording always suffers :(

The main problem of this stage is that there is one monitor that is almost as old as me that LOVES to feedback due to years of being overdriven, however, with some EQ trickery, I managed to tame it just a bit, as such, giving me more wiggle room for increased gain. Previously, the vocalists struggled to hear themselves - believe me, I was sending them plenty of themselves on the console but the speakers could not deliver. You still can hear alot of the feedback in this one.

Another problem that I have found in in this mix (and most of my mixes generally) is that I may have given the guitars and keys a little bit too much space and dynamic range. While one of the main focus of this song is the guitar, it really is overpowering in this recording. It disappears during the verses but it just takes over everything everywhere else. I'll take note of that in future mixes. I don't even know where to begin with how wide the keys are

I tried to improve the overall clarity of the vocalist. I tried my very best to keep the vocals it its own spectrum and upped the compression ever so slightly. This worked wonderfully in the venue because of that increased gain but I couldn't hear squat in this recording. Perhaps I'm delusional and the gain really was too high and I wasn't pushing enough... who knows?

Last good thing about today's sets was that we no longer have overbearing bass!

As always, mixed and recorded on a Behringer X32. Not sure where that horrendous buzzing is coming from but I could not - for the life of me - figure out where its coming from so I just accepted it.
