New band song, new techniques.

[fuimjb]

Hey guys. Here's a new song in progress from my band. Just wanted to get some opinions on a few new things I've learned and am trying. I think I got a nice clear mix. Any pointers on how I can improve it?

I really like your mix!
The Drums are SSD, right?
Did you use an amp sim for the guitars?

 

[oroinvictus]

It's a pretty beefy mix, I dig it. What did you do for guitars? And what did you do those toms?

 

[Ataraxia2320]

Are the toms disorting a little? Apart from that the mix sounds huge!

 

[Fama]

Great mix! Am I the only one hearing clipping with (I'm guessing floor tom) hits in the beginning (and later on too, in the heavy parts only, it doesn't clip in the clean parts)?

yea i got the toms a little too hot and they are clipping bad. Guitars are a patch i have on GearBox. and I just EQ'd the toms a little...and yes the drums are SSD indeed. im doing a few changes to this one and will be posting it with vocals soon. my singer is gonna be doing verses only on this one and we are having someone to guest vocals who wrote an amazing chorus for this one. cant wait for you guys to hear it
