Blessings Upon the Throne of Tyranny Mix..

Recorded this to test out some new drum/Guitar sounds ive been working on and wanted to get your oppinion on how it sounds. Guitars are just double tracked hard left and right, Not too much going on EQ wise....Anyway tell me what you think.......Its only the first minute or so.

turn up the kick

Ive been tweaking with my bass drum sound for sooo long and i still cant get it to cut through...No matter what i do it sounds dead, or if i pump it up i cant seem to get that great smack. Its driving me nuts. Im pretty much trying to duplicate the Nick Barker kick sound on this one, and i know im nowhere close. If anyone could help me out i would really appreciate it. I could post samples of my drum sounds solo if anyone wants to take a look and maybe give some helpfull EQ hints? Anyway thanks alot guys!

Very precise picking. Good job on the guitar work!

 

[mpigott]

Thanks man..

yo, tight riffage you got there. try pitching the
kick lower - your kick is much higher than the one
on the original recording. my guess would be that
barkers kick is more emphazised in the 5k area.
and add some more lowend to the sample.
personally i think the album kills mixingwise, this
is a high standard to go for.

i think the intro blast is a splitfoot blast on the original though.

Try mixing in some of andy's sample, cutting below 60hz and boosting some at 80hz.

guitars need more tracks as they're lacking some gain, but the tone is about right man, what amp did you use?

 

[mpigott]

Digitech 2101 preamp...Peavey classic 60 poweramp, micd through some crap ibanez cab.....Where can i get my hands on andy's sample? (im assuming youre refering to his kick) And i will try adding more guitars to see if it makes things better.....thanks guys
