We ended up with the exact sound we were looking for for drums. All due to the amazing work of our friend Ricardo Oliveira at Stone Sound Studio (https://www.facebook.com/StoneSoundStudio).

My attempt so far thanks for uploading

 

[sz.daniel]

hey!

thanks for the upload this was a real fun to do, especially because of the live drum.
with midi drums or sample replacement it would have been easier to get the usual metal drum sound each of us use, but this is why i found this interesting and challenging.
i also really dig the guitar riffs, heavy and catchy.

here's my try:


i hope you like it! :Spin:

 

[HANIAK]

Yes, the great challenge in mixing this release (and all of our releases, for that matter) was indeed the live drums.
Even with the amazingly talented drummers I've been working with on Colosso, it's hard to keep consistency through the entire tracks (comparing with most modern releases, where almost everything is sampled)... but it's possible!
The only thing sampled in the raw tracks (and in the final release) is the kick drum... but that's a must do on this kind of music, imho...

Cool mixes so far... Thank you for entering the competition

 

[Bay Studio]

Downloading the files right now. The song is pretty interesting! Thanks for giving us this opportunity dude! What was the bass recorded with?

 

[Winston Wolf]

a track with vocals would be more suitable for a competition,especially if you expect remixes.

I see no point in mixing this,it's just another instrumental for mixing practice. I've heard better ones here.What is gonna happen to winner's mix?
I doubt if anyone cares about the prize either.

 

[HANIAK]

Bass gear?
We used all of this:

But the main one was this one (the B7K) plugged directly into my profire 2626:

And of course, the bass and the bass player
