Thanks guys it really means a lot. I put the bass through a preamp and used a schecter bass to do some of the parts really packed more of a punch. The snare and bass I did some other eqing to it in Reason to give the snare more attention and the bass more punch. I'll have to post another song...

Kick: Define punch, some people like a kick driven sound so you can here it like with such bands as Woe, Is Me, but some people like it with more of a low tone to match the bass. In any circumstance the bass should match the kick but im looking for a tighter bass sound Snare: I Added some...

So I recorded this with Mixcraft 5 (Acoustica). Drums: Reason 5 (Dublicated Track > Tracks Hard Panned) [Drums NOT panned] Guitars: Pod Farm UX2.5 (Guitar Double Tracked [Rythm&Lead] > Hard Panned L/R) -Noise Gate -Tube Screamer -Cali Diamond Plate -4x12 Threadplate (Condensor w/ 0% Room...

Folkrav, The 1st set is actually a wav file i compressed down in Reason, duplicated in mixcraft then hard panned L/R the 2nd one (with no compression) is panned slightly to crowd perspective. Ride/Crash - Left ||| Snare/Hat - Right

Alright heres the 2 sets of drum samples I have that were composed in Reason: 1. Drums (compressed/EQed in Reason) -DropBox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64285856/ReasonCompDrums.mp3 -SoundCloud (for easy listening) 2. Drums (No Compression/EQ) -DropBox...

Dude seriously appreciate it, Im going to give Reaper another try, their compressors and EQs were a little odd to me but i can give it a try. Ive never heard of SSD so I'll have to look that up, I was looking for something cheap to keep it some demos down until I had a bit more money to invest...

I tried their free trial version a while back while doing some mild programming, I completely forgot about them. Ill have to try them out, Mixcraft was just $70 and I have experience in recording with it through various other projects. I can definitely give it another shot, thanks for the advice

The question was, "Am I missing anything, or is there anything else that fits into a small budget I could look forward to adding into my investment"

that was more what I was looking for, Im still new to forums (that's the one area of anything I don't have an sort of experience in). I've seen some people with links to "Dropbox" and "SoundCloud". Which would be easier for anyone to listen to? I can post 2 mixes of a cover I've been working...

Pt.3 I don't lack common sense, I wouldn't have asked such a general question if I didn't already do some research. I'm here to learn not jump ahead. I've already learned about basic compression/EQ over drums (in general) I'm looking for other peoples ideas on how to get a punchier sound from...

Pt.1 I'll go ahead and say I'm old fashioned I follow the schedule of producing a song as... -Scratch (if I have one) -Drums (editing drums) -Guitar (rythm --> lead) -Bass -Vocals (Clean --> Screams) -Mixing & Mastering So for a first time producer (that has experience with programming) I am...

I'm not here for snide remarks, or arrogant attitudes so please keep any airy comments out. I just recently started my own home studio for myself (not for a band, or other bands) because Ive tried many many other projects that have all failed miserably. I am not looking to be an amazing...
