woah! velocity 127 on the drums man!

 

[MEGA DAVE]

haha ? too much?

 

[Ola Englund]

hehe just first reaction, now I've listened through it all and it's actually pretty good. But I would work a little more with the drums to make them sound more alive.

 

[MEGA DAVE]

Well with the drums I tried out using freeverb on them on the master group, with a seond verb on the snare the make it a little bigger, and i also mixed down the core of the drums without the cymbals and compressed the hell outta the mixdown and added a little bump in the high and low end on the eq and dropped some distortion on it and only brought that track up enough to fill everything out, otherwise the drums are strictly samples and a bit of verb

 

[DaWolf]

Snare needs to go up, not so much in the blast beat but in the slower parts.

Definitely work on your velocities a bit to get those drums sounding more life-like.

 

[MEGA DAVE]

Yeah, I didn't mess around much with velocities, but I guess i should pay more mind to that. Other than that I'm just trying to pin down getting the drums to sound as real as possible
