[16S]

nah they aren't too loud, they're distractingly dry though.

what a fucking awesome song name too.. haha

 

[16S]

thanks Gareth. May be i can moisten the drums up a bit...

 

[The Unavoidable]

Nah man, the drums are perfect. And dryness is exactly what this kind of music calls for, so don't fuck with it haha! It sounds fucking killer. Great shit man!

 

[PhilTheBeard]

drums are the perfect level

 

[GarethSE]

i wasnt suggesting that you dry them out anymore actually, i didnt make it very clear
theyre distractingly dry, yes, but i wouldnt have you change them, it's perfect for the song

 

[16S]

i really apprecaite the positive comments guys. I was really down on this project but you have just given me some new energy! Thanks alot!!!

Everything's perfect except for the vocals. They're not blending well with the mix, they sound "on top" of it.

The low end isn't tight enough in my opinion. The overall clarity would benefit from less low end on certain stuff especially the reverb.

I don't think i know how to make the vox sit in the mix. Are there any golden rules/tips? Is it a simple case of more reverb or more involved EQ sculpting??

I was thinking that there is not enough low end like i had high passed everything too much but that may be just the short comings of my monitoring... There is reverb only on the drums (not the kick) and some delay on the vox.

thanks again for listening!!!
