thanks a lot Geo!
sounds realy great man

loved the guitars actually realy fits in
only thing the floor tom I can only hear the sub of the floor tom but not the floor tom itself... need more high/mids and less sub
what your mastering chain btw?
thanks man, guitars are just temporally, but I hope that I get them even better with reamping

You're right about the floor tom(s), I think I'll raise the volume in SD2 and see if that helps enough.
Eriks (Dandelium) masteringchain helped me a lot, this is what he wrote at that time
I use in the mastering chain:
-Gclip with a setting of 0dB gain, 70% clipping (narrow), no softness; so the mastering compressor gets an homogeneous -6dB mix without huge snare peaks.
-Mastering compressor. Soft settings.
-Multiband compressor, evens the mix.
-Gclip again. 2dB gain, 100% clipping (wide), no softness; in order to raise levels and clip again everything for the limiter.
-Elephant. Master's punch +3 preset, everything default but the in gain, that's on +6dB.
I dont use a multibandcomp though, just normal comp and an EQ.
I only do pseudomastering though

my clip is too loud too imo^^
That sounds epic, loads of power.
I agree sounds great. I'd just like to hear the toms cut a little more.
Wow that is loud as fuck.

That kick sounds really meaty.
what a great drum sound and it has epicness!
Thanks guys!
I'll see how the toms will cut with the final guitars, and maybe adjust them if they need it.
yeah it's loud...too loud

Someone far more skilled than me agreed to do the mastering for our album anyway

Thanks for the epicness also
hey

could you tell what cab Impulse did you used?
Sure man, its s-preshigh and guitarhack between straight -20
Fuck!
Sorry man, I never even saw this thread
I seriously can't say enough good stuff about the sound you have going on here
The drums sound amazing and in the context of everything else they cut through cleanly yet still retain such a nice thumpy heaviness to them.
I can't wait until I start recording new Shadowdance tunes ... THIS is the sound I want to have for it
Fantastic job my friend
Carlos, thanks a lot dude

no worries, the thread isnt very old anyway haha
If you want some help when you record/mix some new tunes you know what to do I think

but if you want THIS sound you'd have to programm the drums I think which wouldn't do justice to your brother haha
Holy fucking shit. I think this might be one of the best things I've heard here in a while. I'm a huge fan of your other song "Before the Fire", I can't wait to hear more!
The kick sounds flawless and the guitars totally kick ass.
Thanks a heap buddy, I really appreciate it!
I also really hope that I can get a lot of stuff done (vocals, strings and reamping) throughout the next 2-3 weeks to have another more or less finished song to post within september!
Good job on the drums!
The guitars sound pretty dry but you did say it's a temporary solution.
I'm wondering if there's a bit too much high-end overall.
Thanks man!
Yeah, I didn't even but reverb on the guitars to save some CPU ^^
about the high end: well, I did a very quick approach mixing this, som with new guitar ects theres gonna be the time to adjust this and so on...this was really only about the drums =)
I just want to thank you guys again for checking it out, I'm glad I'm not the only one liking the drums : )
Hope I didn't forget to answer any questions, it's 9:30AM around here and I just returned home from a birthdayparty about 2 hours ago (went there right after posting this). gotta get some sleep now and get sober.you guys rock!
