Any ideas on how to fix this? The link will lead you to mixes of a song I recorded recently and the drums sound weak, thin, dead...
Mix #1 seemed to have too much kick, not enough snare and overheads too low in the mix. Mix #2 lowers the kick & guitar slightly, raises the snare (perhaps too much) and overheads (also, possibly too much).
They sound okay by themselves, but when everything's mixed down they sound horrible. To me, it seems like they're lacking something in the overheads (AKG C460s, X-Y pattern roughly 4 feet above the center of the bass drum)...
Any suggestions? Sorry this explaination is so vauge, I'm just frustrated...
