Deathcore song from my band.

Here's some more to the song and I tweaked a few things too. The next post will be the finished product with vocals. Thanks so far guys!

The snare is a bit snappier/humanized too. Guitars were turned down a little. I also realized I had a stereo widener and it was making the song sound pushed back behind you. Fixed.

Take it with a grain of salt because I'm a relative newb, but I feel like the rhythm guitars are competing with the leads somewhat.
I guess you didn't understand what I mean, because I don't believe that somebody will be satisfied with drums sounding like this in his own records.
Compositionwise this music is great. This is what I really like in metal music.
Not compositionwise. Soundwise.

If you have free time (a lot of free time actually) which you want to spend on learning new things - learn drum sound design with BFD or Addictive Drums, layering, and mixing complex drum sounds with other instruments.
Otherwise - hire a sound designer to work on your drum sound or teach you how to do it yourself.

kylendm your mix sounds good, I'm not a fan of that kind of snare sound, too snappy for me. Everything else sounds nice.
Habsburgs' mix sounds better than yours. Maybe if your mixes were good enough we would take your advises more seriously.

The J, I don't know if you are doing it intentionally or not but you come across as a major douche sometimes. You criticize people mixes (usually drums) in a rude way and then offer no suggestions on improving it.

kylendm, I like your mix. The snare seems to be a little too noticeable in the mix. I think it may have a little too much snap to it. The leads although I know are supposed to be in the background are a little too drowned out by the rhythm guitars. I don't think either one of those things are too major though and I really liked it for what it's worth.
"emmure style" thread comment is now called "usually"?
You know, sometimes it's pointless to tell what to improve and how to do this, simply because it means changing absolutely everything.
Just so you understand me a little bit better:
Why people use SSD just by itself? Because they want to achieve some sort of sound that is close to their favourite records, and their favourite records got some clicking kicks and punchy snares.
They don't understand that in their favourite records engineers achieving those sorts of sound completely another way, and may be additionally to live-drums they blend ~30%-50% of samples.
People ask for advices, but when they see a real one - they feel uncomfortable.
There is a whole forum of people trying to make their mixes sound so damn commercial, without any clue, how to do it properly.
"It's not how loud/punchy/agressive you make it - it's how you make it like this" - understanding this thing changes a lot.
btw, not intentionally being rude sometimes, but may be if some people around here will stop acting like pussies, my manner won't be looking so dickish.

May be it would be better for them.
But what I mean is - if you ask for advice or critique - you should not in any way feel yourself offended. If you you're not satisfied with the results - take a notice. If you are satisfied - so why even ask.
