Bury The Hatchet

fucking hell, a fellow person from medway.
played with these the other week, theyr pretty good!
 
everything's clipping, guitars are real fizzy and have no attack and drums lack punch. perfomances are a fucking nightmare. even if the song writing was good, which it wasn't, i wouldn't bare listening to these guys for more than 30 secs tbh. i'm just harsh, but i'm not mean! just saying.
 
Audio seems to be very centered panning wise, resulting in quite a monoish overall sound.

I'd pan the crashes, splashes, hi-hat & ride like they would be in a drumkit.
Spreading the stereo image (not with a widening plugin) will help alot.

Also pan the main rhythm guitars hard L/R 100%, sounds like they're quite centered too.

In case you happened to record the cymbals with just 1 OH, well, technology to rescue and redo the cymbals
anyway you prefer, or just record the cymbals again with proper micing.

Perhaps the drum bus was accidentally left in mono before exporting?

Thanks for the feedback man.
Ive tried hard panning stuff before and it always sounds to me like Mono deluxe just wide for the sake of it but I see your point. There were three overheads and I panned those hard LR and had one Centre (2x 414 and one Shure SM81). Guitars are quite centeral by comparison but if you imagine the pan pot they were at 90 degrees on each guitar group (Multimiced fun!)
Ill have another hit and repost.
