(in lack of better name) rock ep (live recording with real drums)

[media12]

hey there

i'm currently mixing my band's new ep, recorded live in the bandroom due to lack of time and am trying to get the best out of it.
have fun listening:

i threw a light compressor and saturator on top of the mix.

do you have any suggestions, remarks, etc?
thanks in advance, greetings

The third song is great! I'm really enjoying it.
I would've gone for a more garage-y drum sound, it's mainly the snare and kick that I don't think is fitting the song style.
I would've probably added a bit more dynamics to the song, by lowering the volume on the calmer parts.

hey plankis, thanks for the comments, glad you like the song!
which one of the three are you referring to?

That comment was for the third one, jaybestm.mp3. The names were similar so I thought it was just different versions... Anyway I still like jaybestm.mp3 the most, mostly for the nice drumming and the verses.

cool, thanks for listening and your comment, glad you like the music!
you're right about the drums, i would have loved a more dirty and loose sound (especially on this track but since it's those three tracks on the ep no special whishes here)
but somehow i couldn't get there and in the end we settled for this.

greetings
