Just wanted to thank you guys again. Here's the finished album: Let me know if any of you want copies of it. Happy to give out free ones.

Ah okay I got you. Well here's the latest one then.

Thanks for the update :). Will try EQing the cymbals a bit then. Can also back off the compression on the drums. Should have an updated version for you shortly. Also trying out some different drum samples that I think sound better. As for the C part of the song - I feel ridiculous admitting...

Tried dipping the 175 range on the guitars during that part, as well as adding some c4. Tried another redo on the drum track with the new crash cymbal. Heavily changed some of the drum EQ as well. Drums aren't perfect, but should be a lot tighter overall.

Thanks for the update. Here's another attempt with the guitar sound. As for the drums and the first lead - I'll practice up and work on another drum attempt to try to get it tighter. I'd rather not quantize if I can avoid it, but we'll see. I'd rather just try to get a good enough performance...

Alright cool. Here is the other one I've been playing with. I think the biggest problem with this one is that it's pretty muddy, so I need to work on that a bit, but definitely feel free to let me know what you think. The drums on this one might be less dynamic than I had initially thought...

Yeah that'd be fine. I'll give it a shot once the cymbal gets here and see what I can come up with. Will post the results here. That's cool about the MIDI data option. May be worth checking out just for that feature alone. Drumagog is what I'm currently using for sample replacement. It actually...

Hey thanks for replying! And for the kind words. Definitely trying to avoid the over-hyped high end typical of a lot of black metal bands. I was lucky enough to find an all-tube Randall amp this past year so I'm trying to get that thing dialed in properly before I do my guitar takes. As for the...

Will definitely look into purchasing a crash cymbal. The song is played to a click, but it's not perfectly time aligned. Perhaps I can consider adding some crash samples. The Dimmu kick sounds cool. Where did you find that if you don't mind me asking? The samples I'm using are from the Brighton...

Very nice. I like what you did with the guitar there. I see what you're saying about the lower mids being a large part of the problem with the guitars. This sounds much smoother. Feel like the drums still sound a little bland, but that's more to do with the material I gave you to work with haha...

Ah okay yeah that would make sense for the EQing. I'll have to give that a shot and see how it turns out. Will also try some compression on the drum bus. Didn't even think of cloud storage, but yeah here you go: 1QvCGms_X_dxJQqx9osDd_OQplxGEppjr Also sent it to your email. Let me know if that...

Thanks for the tips. I'll have to purchase a crash cymbal at some point in the near future then. The two I currently have I believe are of the ride/crash hybrid variety. The tom fills I might be able to add in a few more of. Perhaps I'll try another take at some point. You're probably right on...

EDIT: You don't have to read all this below, but could you guys give me some pointers on how to make my mix sound less anemic? I've attached it below. Thank you. ---------------------------------- Hello all, I am a new member and just wanted to inquire about something I keep hearing on all...
