Me and my brother have been writing a song for our 'band'.
I'm pretty new to recording.
Guitars & Bass are PODfarm.
Drums are Ezdrummer with slate samples.
I haven't used any EQ yet, i'm not too sure about the levels of my mix.
I'm using a mac with Logic Pro.

once i finish recording the full song i'll upload the STEMS, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could have a shot at doing a better mix.

Sounds quite good, not sure what to point out.

No bass in here right ? Add one if it's no there already or make it sit better in the mix.

Also, the drums part in the beginning sound a bit dull (the part not the tone).

Pretty much nothing hardcore in here though.

There is bass haha, I think I might have turned it down too much. Yeah the genre isn't so much traditional hardcore.. more melodic. I agree with you, the drum patterns are quite bad at the start of the song. Being a guitarist, I didn't really know what i was doing.

how did you load slate samples into ez drummer?

 

[drewsyfish]

Split Ezdrummer into multiple channels, so you have eight or so separate tracks in your DAW (kick, snare etc.) Select what track you want to change and from there, Drumagog 5 which is a vst plugin which you can replace the samples with.
