My band first mix, real drums(almost) and real amps

[downstroy]

so we finally recorded and mixed my band song and i like to get some feedback

 

[MrBongo]

I´d go for a different snare sound, less mushy and thin. The rest of the drumkit isn´t audible, except for kick n snare.
And crush the master a bit less

 

[downstroy]

thanx bongo for feedback! i dunno, i like that snare sound but i have to agreed that master comp could be less crushing...i try those tips tomorrow

 

[downstroy]

ok UPDATED MIX ....less master comp and little tweaks here and there...maybe mix breathe little bit better now

 

[Pxz]

How natural are the drums ? i guess you went 50% - 50% with samples and direct mics form kick and snare.Sounds good, i dig it.

 

[Kevin Hawke]

I think it needs more bass, and a little bit more clarity, it sounds a bit messy.

 

[downstroy]

Ok thanx for feedback...kick drum is 100% sample and snare is about 50/50 mics and sample. Rest of the Kit is natural. Cool to hear u Like it... Well yeah i agreed that bass could be louder but i still battling to get more separation between instruments just dunno where to start cutting so still learning

 

[downstroy]

ok....i tried couple tricks to this song so here it is....tell me which version you like most....cos i cant deside what approach i take our 6 track cd



...and here is another song

 

[Nikolas Quemtri]

Hey!
You play cool music

I agree with the snare point. It still sounds thin and filtered (some raising between 3-5 kHz).
Also, I'd recommend to clean up guitars' mids (~3k as well) a bit to free some more place for the vocals.

Good luck!

hey glad to hear you like our music!

so i tried to add more fat to snare and make it come to more "alive" and little dip in guitars (lead and rythm) around 3k and then raised vocals in same area...its hard to find right balance between what is too much or less but anyway here is results...i think its getting better so thanks alot those tips!
