This is the sound im comparing it against...tryin to get a more organic tone where the mix breaths abit more than this one does.

Cheers dudes!

kick is getting buried in the second one

 

[JonWormwood]

oh wait, second one is the old one.

Are you using EZD?

 

[wyllie]

Very roomy, and organic but I'm not liking the looseness of it. Watershed and Come Clarity have VERY organic drums but they're still extremely tight, which this lacks. I like the overall tone of the drums but I rkn if you tighten them up a bit it'll improve, and maybe allow more breath into it because everything is not overcrowding everything else.

Im not sure how you did the drums so I dont know how much control you have over them, but the room sounds seem to last a long time. Perhaps substantial compression with a really long attack time could help to tighten it up. Or EQ the reverb in the low-end a bit. Or keep the low-end to the close-mics and let the room and overhead sounds handle the mids and highs.
