I Recorded the Coolest Band

[Signals]

Most fun recording session ever!

No drum timing editing.

Snare/toms/kick samples:

- Toms are my Space Wolf tom samples: http://signalsaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=8&Itemid=10

- Kick sample is one of mine (JayMac samples)

- Snare is a Pearl Masters Series Snare sampled by Arrold Walton (DL it here for free: http://395recordingstudio.weebly.com/products.html)

Band took a lot of photos of the session if anyone is interested. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.292983444084331.61876.144676878914989&type=3

Man, love the song.
Snare is a bit too dry for my taste, but everything else sounds sweet to me!

 

[Signals]

Too dry in terms of reverb or too dry in terms of tightness of the snares?

Great mix and great music. Snare could use more weight too.

Yeah could boost 100-200 ish on it. Already a lot of low end though, haha.

I meant verb-wise.

Also +1 on more weight!

Yeah, good crit. Could use some more weight and dimension!

Didn't know Arrold put out those samples yet. Sweet. Your mix sounds killer by the way.

On second listen, the OH's have a bit too much high end too them. The crash has that piercing sound to it.

On my monitors they're not piercing, but my room kinda sucks. Gotta get more treatment! I multiband compress harsh frequencies heavily on my master, so I'm surprised there's harshness!

Sounds nice! It's also nice to hear a not-quantized drum performance, not that common these days..
mixing wise I agree with the aggressive highs in the overall mix (especially cymbals and vocals sometimes -s-sounds-).

That is face melting mix, but snare really should get more body (it has nice snap but sound weak) and reverb because guitars got nice delay n stuff but snare sound too dry.
But track it self is rare dimant and mix is.... jizzz (envy about bass sound)
