Mix comments, please! - Murdryck release debut Black Metal EP

[inertia]

Have just released our debut EP on Bandcamp.

This EP is a demo of what's to come on our upcoming album and I am trying to find where our sound lies in terms of mix. Originally, I wanted a very old school sound with a lot of reverb but I decided to make it less dense than originally anticipated.

This forum has been of great help to me in preparation for this album. So thanks everyone!

Someone must have a comment.

Are the drums programmed? Definitely sounds a lot like it when listening for the velocities and overall. Kick should be a tad louder, not audible enough at the moment.
Not digging the snare - sounds too sample-y for the context - but that's only my opinion.

BTW - am I hearing some clipping, especially on "Metamorphosis" around 2:30 -> ?

Haha ..either the drums are programmed or they aren't You tell me!

I don't have problems with clipping in the mix but the Kemper profile I use seems to have some artefacts that cause clipping. I haven't managed to figure out how to stop it since it makes no difference if i turned the volume down on the kemper or even the signal going to the Kemper. A friend said it might be my EMG pickups are too hot but there's nothing to trim.

Yes, the drums are programmed. We will have a drummer for the album. The drum velocities are actually quite varied in the MIDI track but obviously there's a load of processing going on. I am using a custom Slate Kit i built from the SSD4.

Thanks for checking out the mix.
