Hey all,
Would really appreciate some feedback on this drum mix. I've uploaded to youtube for listening convenience. There are two separate recordings in the youtube link below.
I'm very inexperienced when it comes to mixing. I watched many tutorials and tried to apply what I learned to this mix, but feel like it could still be better.
Just for some background on my setup:
- PG52 on the kick
- SM57 on the snare
- PG56's on rack tom and floor tom
- PG81's for the overheads
- Sterling ST31 on the high-hat
- Presonus firestudio project interface
- Studio One
Pretty much have on some Pro EQ, Channel Strip, and a Gate on each input, and then have all the inputs in a bus where I added reverb and a channel strip to the overall mix.
These are just two small sections of a project I'm doing for a friend. Overall, the majority of the project is "jazzy" with some variations, though the first recording has a rock feel (wanted to show this as I feel like it would be the best to get some feedback on for my mix). The 2nd recording has more of a jazz feel. Overall, I'm looking for a mix that can compliment a jazz type feel, but also bring out some of the rock playing, if that makes sense.
Looking for any type of feedback! Feel free to tear it to shreds, I'm just looking to improve this the best I can and learn more about mixing!
Of course, listen with good headphone/speakers if possible.
