Guitars sound way undergained and the drums are a bit dry sounding. I dont think thats bad necessarily just a matter of taste. I am still learning so I am not of too much help.

 

[2000ContourSVT]

Thanks for the feedback, we're still learning too so any feedback helps. At first we thought the guitar needed a bit more gain as well but we kinda liked how it sounds with less gain.

Seriously, those guitars are too weak, they need more gain. The drums could stand some verb on them, even just a slight bit of a room reverb on the snare would be nice. Hard to judge past that but it's a great start.

I agree with the previous comments. I think the bass is a bit too loud too and just a bit... weird in tone, but that's just personal preference. I don't feel the guitar tone and the bass tone compliment each other, to be honest.

 

[Seizure.]

If drums were a bit more agressive you could get away with that amount of gain in my book..

 

[Aaron Smith]

That hi-hat sounds like a spray paint can.

 

[2000ContourSVT]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll keep working on the guitar tone, and I'll post another clip when I get something.

 

[2000ContourSVT]

Ok. Completely re-did the guitar tone. Added quite a bit more gain this time. I also worked on the Hi Hats a little. Let me know how everything sounds. I think it sounds a lot better but I've been listening to it for a while and need a fresh set of ears. Thanks.

Well, I guess guitars need more presence, they sound more overdriven than distorded. But maybe you want to sound like that, don't know, matter of taste :Smug:
About drums they sound too EZ, specially hats, and kick drum I can't get to listen to it clearly

 

[006]

Turn up the amp and get some power section saturation going, I'll bet you have it relatively quiet for recording?

It's definitley not anywhere near how loud it can go. I'll try cranking it some more tonight.
