Is this Guitar too loud?
Comments
A bit... but it's possibly more that the drums are too quiet.
Although I suspect the level is what's coming through the PA. If that's a recording from the desk it's difficult to say what it was actually like in the room. Having the amp facing directly out into the audience like that is usually a mistake though, no matter how normal it is - it will either be too loud for anyone directly in line, or too quiet through the PA if it's pointing at the soundman (so I suspect it isn't, here), or both.

Well the sound isn't coming from a single camera, sounds like microphone set up up the front of the stage and likely right next to a wedge with a load of guitar pumping through it. I don't think it's a recording straight off the desk because I can hear more ambinece inc crowd than you would normally get from a direct from desk recording. With a direst from desk it's normally way too vocal heavy than anything else
The drums are further back so quiet compared to the wedges plus it's in a marquee which doesn't reflect and make the drums as loud as a room does.
Could also be a stem mix ... so guitar was on same stem as bass so can't turn guitar down without losing bass guitar completely.
Cool band though, would like to hear more.

I've listed to 2 or 3 performances and guitar is too loud.
Well it certainly is in the video but we are suggesting this is a post mistake and may well have sounded completely different at the actual gig ... might have sounded worse too mind
Three different gigs and a promo video. Guitar too loud in all of them
That would be an appropriate guitar volume if she was playing a sick breakdown...and the drums were loud.
And I'm just going to come out and say this, drumming which is all over the place.
From that I think drums need to go up and guitar down ... But I suppose it depends where the mic is ..it could be directly in the beam of the guitar speaker
Possibly - but who cares? Not every performance is going to be perfect and who knows how this was even recorded. Could be any number of reasons for the apparent guitar dominance in the mix. However, it is a guitar-based genre, and very cool IMO. I like what I'm hearing.
EDIT - didn't mean for that to sound like I was having a go at you - I'm not in the slightest!
