how to get a BIG tom sound

I don't think you should be using a multi-band comp in the master bus unless you *REALLY* need it. I think toms are still boomy, not enough punch nor presence. I think guitar tone isn't very good and also how are you compressing on your master bus? The whole mix is compressing a bit. I think overheads are still a bit offending. The thing is I'm listening on my cans, I'm not in the studio right now so it's a bit difficult to analyze throughly. But you still need to take off a bit of low mids in the toms, mainly the rack ones

I'm using the limiter in Ozone 3 on the MB. I don't know what else I can do to the toms--I'm already using a Transient Designer and a high shelf (+10dB!) on the toms bus to try and make them punchier.

What's wrong with the guitars? I don't think it's a fantastic tone but I didn't think it was particularly shitty either.

Are the overheads too harsh? Is that what you mean?

Thanks again for your help, I want to make this betterrrrr
