Let me know what you guys think... any criticizing welcome

edit: replaced the snare and kick with some samples I got off here from Erkans big drum sample folder

I used aptrigga to replace them and now its not playing different levels. For example in the fill right before the first breakdown theres a little crescendo, but I'm not sure how to keep it there now that I'm using aptrigga

ignore the intro part... its still from the old drum sounds

I don't really like the drum playing, sounds programmed to me, the guitars sound pretty good, It sounds to much like for the fallen dreams


Only my opinions. Overall it's decent

just find some different new drum samples. im sure theyre eqed okay, but the actual tone of the snare and kick is awful

it sounds much better, but the snare still sounds really robotic. stick soume reverb on it, or find a more organic sounding sample i reckon. find some samples of some piccolo snares

its something i wrote. its probably my faverite snare ever :L i think it just sounds really good because its got a good amount of reverb on it. and its a really good snare to start with (joey jordisson's). there are samples of his snare on here, you should try to find it, it kicks ass

Alright I think this is a bit better... and I'm aware of the timing issues so no flaming on that... gotta clean it up

If you can get a nice sample with a lot of velocitys than your golden, Just out of the curiosity what are you using for the vocals? I think they could use a little more verb or something they just sound bad and dry, maybe just bad vocals. or try doubling them to fill it up.

and the guitars are cut to short in the breakdowns which sounds robotic.

Not being a dick just giving my two sense, because you asked.

You don't sound like a dick lol... I appreciate all the advice.

For the vocals were using a Sterling Audio ST55. I know next to nothing about mixing vocals so there's nothing done to them except compression and a little bit of eq
