high hats are bugging me on this and maybe even cymbals a bit.....

I think high hats should be lowered a little bit :Smug:

anyone agree???

rest of the drums sound good to me though and guitars sound good

Sounds awesome to me. Can´t wait to hear it finished.

I´ll go for a less polished sound, it already sounds great natural.

IMO

I wish I could get those guitar sounds... damn I need money...
Marshall cabs are so expensive in here.

Mark IV is the shit! in combination with EMG pickups. i did the mix three in the morning. bass today! and some fix on the mix.

 

[Jackal_Strain]

For a drumkit with no samples it sounds pretty killer man. Something about the snare sounds a little bit of to me. I really dig the guitars sound man. i'm gonna have to get me a mark IV.... someday

Man, that sounds so good already. So smooth. I am not missing the bass at all. Very cool. Is that Mark IV a combo or head?

You can't make some samples from those great toms, can you?

If you ever record that kit again and find the time to do a few samples of each tom, I'd be ecstatic. You captured the stick/skin impact and the body/fullness of the toms so beautifully!! I've been listening to that song on repeat for hours just because of the cool halftime riffs and the toms

 

[Amadeus79]

This song is gonna kick ass! Looking forward to hearing the finished mix with bass and vox.

thanks man! it´s kinda funny thou... the skins are Pearl Original, and they usually sound lika fart. i tuned the tomskins with a Tention watch. love that thing

 

[sparkyness]

Friggin' great work (again) Ronnie. Tone and playing is tight. Cymbals/hats seem to "float" over the mix a bit and a bit harsh (i.e. too much high end), but otherwise I really dig it.

thanks man! im mixing right now as we speak. sounds even better!

 

[GeertSamuel]

I'm really digging the sound man! great work..

 

[kev]

GOOD SHIT!

 

[DanAbela]

Sounds great man! Im really impressed with the sound of the MarkIV, sounds really tight.
Silly question, but what AKG headphones is your drummer using in that pic?

[KeithRT99]

sounds great. Only gripe is the snare, it seems really far away(and small) compared to how up front everything else is. The guitars are really up front and nice.

 

[Ronnie_Rocker]

yeah... well.. its hard to get the SD close without using samples. one trick i use is to run a L1 limiter on the snare. think it sounds close now.

 

[ConspiracyBass]

Awesome stuff. Like others have said, the snare is a little distant, but definetly not the worst I've ever heard. Digging the 2nd track even more now that you've done a proper recording. Keep up the good work!

 

[JeffTD]

Sounds great dude! What mic on the cab? That gat tone is the shit! Very tight playing, as well.

 

[KeithRT99]

no disrespect ronnie, because i dig alot of the stuff you post, but these tracks sound like a lot of riffs that have already been done before. Still, i really like the tracks, and they sound great though.
