No - Sketches (Progressive metal)

[streetwise]

Hello everyone, it's my first post here.

I finished this project a while ago. I'm quite satisfied how it ended up sounding, it must be my best mix yet (I'm not that much experienced in studio engineering, recorded like 5 bands. I'm more into live mixing). I recorded, mixed and somewhat mastered it.

I'd like to know if there's something wrong in it, that I don't hear. Thanks!

I know it's not loud enough, but the guys didn't want to have it mastered somewhere else, and I'm very inexperienced in that...

The drums are a bit loud, the vocals are kinda hidden as well. Well, the snare seemed really loud at first and then when the song picked up it was seated well in the mix.

Great sound, otherwise. What samples are you using for the drums, if any?

Thanks! I recorded samples of the drumkit itself. It was a Tama Artstar II kit with a Ludwig Supraphonic snare (not 100% sure about this one though). Kick and snare had like 40% sample, 60% just normal miced drum, I think.
