Drums sound a little thin and lifeless. Cymbals are too obviously programmed. You can buy the Volumes drum samples here: http://dbsamples.com/dbsamples/dB_Samples.html

Bass sounds nice. What is it?

thanks for the critiscism

the bass is just pod farm and a high/low pass filter

Snare is awesome...

Brighten that guitar tone up a bit and it would be pretty similar. Thats the main thing guitar tone wise. The guitars just arent screaming like they should for this sound being darkened up that much

Also, it would really be awesome if you posted those drum stems. I'd love to take a shot at mixing this song

Same here, i would love if you shared the drum stems, i love the song and i'd love to have a shot at it.

just wanted to pop in and say both of Dan's sample backs are fucking AMAZING..... I've been using them a TON lately...

Overall great fucking job. Playing is spot on and tight. The track needs to breathe. Guitars need some highs in them, the sound stuffy. Bass sounds perfect. Cymbals could come down some in the mix. Kick and snare fit well but could use a little EQing to help them fit better. I'm impressed regardless.

thanks for the feedback guys. unfortunately i didnt use midi for the drums i just shifted about wav samples to arrange the beats... mental.. i know right! XP

you guys think you could point me in the way of any nice big sounding drum samples apart from the DB kits? preferably free ones aswel haha

 

[foundations]
