Thanks!

well, i really like it because of the huge amount of overheads in there!
gets a rougher feeling.

my point is the snare - it doesn't fit in the place, where it's at!
i like this hard compression, but the sound of the snare isn't the best and now you really hear it.
the snare seems a bit boxy and maybe too much in the 200 hz region.
what about the verb? - did you compress it to the snare through a same bus - cause that is what helps me a lot to get in the right place for the snare!!

my 2 cents

cheers,

alex

I here you man... this was my worry too.. couldn't fit the damn thing in!
i got 2 verbs on it.. one on the snare insert and one on a send.
and i got the snare and kick on one bus that i'm compressing, but i'll compressing after the verb... see how it sounds! thanks!

 

[alexrookie]

my signal path is:

snare mic (already a bit compressed and eqed) and snare trigger go into one bus
- some more procession if needed (for example transients) and this goes into another bus where the verb(from another bus triggered by sends)+ the snare end and they get compressed, so that they are more a unit!
this bus with snare and the verb goes into my drumbus with the last multiband compressor and limiter!!

give it a try - you have total conrol over every single track and the mixes referring to each other!

snare is a bit bugging to me, but i'm liking the feel of it...
for me i'd say put it a bit more back in the mix...
the guitar tone is pretty sick...i like it

 

[Ola Englund]

Yeah I think this was cool, but as already mentioned the snare needs work... It has a rather cool sound, but should have some more room or reverb feeling to it..

 

[heavenshell]

Heavy but lik otehrs said the snare sound isnt quite there it seems like its competing to much with th ekick sound i would recomend a higher end snare sound (eq wise) drop ur lows and ull get a nice attackyish sound great crack raise mids drop the lows nice crack

I think the snare would sound better if mixed lower and with a bit of additional high end/attack.

other than that, the drums sound really 'raw' to me, for lack of a better term.

 

[Black neon bob]

Hey, i never heard that second part!

That sounds better then the first part, if you ask me...
I think the snare (original eh?) should be looked at... like everyone said allready.

Big pluspoints are the guitars and that thick bass!

I like it...

 

[poidaobi]

Im loving the Guitar tone!

Snare is quite annoying thought!

 

[Graveland Rocker]

Yo dude,....i don't think it's that annoying man,...all your sounds are good! RAW!!! That's nice,....

Question: What kinda toms/kicks/snare samples did you use for triggering? I need a couple of those "dirty" m#th#rf#ck#rs.....wanna share??

 

[KeithRT99]

i like how raw it sounds. the snare is abit too tight though. it's like it's all attack. maybe a bit of high end and reverb on the snare would help.

 

[Seizure.]

wow dudes! thanks alot!
yeah, i was listening too it through some small speakers yesterday at a girlfriends place and the snare indeed has a pretty anoying bumb in the mids which sets it lose from the rest! for some reason it was less obvious on my alesis! thanks for pointing that out.
maybe overheads alittle lower? thats the rawness in the drums realy. i just don't know yet if i like or dislike that! haha..

well... back too the drawing board then!

Yo Seizure,...are you in HOLLAND working in a studio or something? Maybe I can stay in touch with you,..I like your stuff,...and I'm working on a couple of records and demo's right now. Maybe you can give me some tips from time to time? That's if you want do to that?

greetings from a little town somewhere near Amsterdam

 

[Seizure.]

Ohyeah, sure dude! i gotta say i'm not realy that good though haha.., i have trouble helping myself!

[Graveland Rocker]

Cool man,....but do you've gotta website or something?

 

[GeertSamuel]

The dutch community on here is growing ...woohoo...
Ter Apel rules all!

 

[xmarcelx]

Nice raw tone but the snare sounds like plastic ...
and no vox

 

[punkrockacademyfightsong]

Holland united!

funny thing, i also gave my opinion on the mix to JB and indeed the snare is the thing that stands out most. i love the bassound though! MASSIVE

 

[Seizure.]

Gotta love Sans amp+ Tubescreamer + bartollini's!!

i'm gonna start with the new mix tonight and work on the stuff you guys pointed out, lets hope i get it right this time
