Slate drums clip

i love the song and the opening/chorus lick. you gonna add some words? Hi hat programming is great btw, very punchy sound, well crafted mix.
 
Thanks Steven.

when i get better at my mixes i might try to write some full songs and find a vocalist to lay something down.



Im happy with the hihat sounds here but the crash sounds funny. maybe i should back down on the velocity instead of just hammering them so hard
 
you make a great point kass, and as soon as you said that, I actually went into a song i was doing and brought down the crash velocities and it sounded way better. When I was sampling my crashes, I had the guys really bash the shit out of them for the top velocities, whereas in a real scenario they'd be hitting a lot less. You can also eq the crash to make it a bit sizzlier, 12khz boost, 1khz cut, 300 Hi Pass is a good starting point.
 
sounds good. guitars are a little low, and bass really low. with both raised in volume a bit compared to the drums it'd sound a little more full/together. programming sounds good. did you eq out some high end of the black kick? sounds a little different. I keep hearing people getting cool results with the black kick. I need to try using it and getting rid of some of the click it has
 
care to tell me what you done with the guitars - i love the tone of both guitar mixes especially the 1st one. ie gear, comp, eq or whatever else you can add
