The chorus drum pattern is completely fine. It really drives the rhythm and gives the tune a foot tapper. But the verses could use a bit more simplicity I agree. Think "Home" by Philips Philips here. Just a straight 8 pattern for most of the song. While I'm not saying that you shouldn't...

Try putting a high pass on the overheads if you haven't already to help with a bit of that boomy bass, also sum slight reduction around 500 hz might help tighten up things as well. The snare needs more punch, a bit too much high end still, also the cymbals have to much highs IMO, probably tone...

Though I know the heated debate that entails, I'd just like to hear a few opinions as to how, to me, it seems like digitally produced (electronica music) mixes can be pushed a little more than analog (rock, etc.) produced music. An example would be mixing say a trance or D n' B mix versus say...

This wasn't my band I recorded btw, but yeah, totally forgot about inverting phase on the bottom snare *doh! Though it should've done it already when I eq'd it for more high end whilest having the top eq'd for meat. But I guess it didn't work out so well. Yeah, sorry about the kick, I kinda...

Lol *facepalm at this thread, let the flames arise...

Same here, good kick sound very clear and crisp all around. Don't know what to say about that reverb, I can kinda see how you're goin for that Tommy Lee big sound, but we'll have to wait till the full mix.

Hey guys here's a new mix from the studio, prolly one of my best yet, it's hard rock ballad with some screaming in it. I did some ad lib post production piano to add thickness and dynamics. Lemme know what you guyses think. "Break" by Amherst feat. Ken Luengo on piano...

Well, I decided to indulge more in my knowledge of mastering by browsing the web for any tips. I came across this fairly lengthy but thorough article that breaks down different techniques while not simply persuading an engineer to simply slap on a maximizer, compressor, or limiter for the sake...

Pahaha, oh man, Holy Tool vibes batman!, I likes very much. I think when the transition part comes in after the intro, it got muddied up quite a bit, so a lot of punch got lost. So once I felt that build up come, I got all amped, then the muddy came, so I was like "awww, WTH?". No offense...

Sounds alright to me, though the ambiance and cymbals sound a bit "tinny" to me, kinda like that "music in a box" sound to me. Sounds like you have the overheads panned dead center or just one overhead was recorded. If you had two then it sounds as if you may have a phase issue going, can't...

Is there anywhere I can download the track?

Nice tunes as always Gonzo, mind if I can borrow the track to play along with the drums? Really groovy tune here.

Lol oh man, sounds like the theme for some 80's hard ass-cop action-hero chuck-norris television show. Really nice tune as always, has that really ambient 80's classic rock hair metal sound to it. Not really too much I can input criticism-wise as of now.

Yes, the drums a recorded live, are you saying that they were bad? I'm aware of the vocal issue, sadly it is something I cannot really fix until we get an actual dedicated singer. Never did really notice too much wrong with the snare, I didn't want TOO much pop but I'll look into it.

Tempus, never heard of that kit before. Just looked them up now and they look pretty damn solid. 1970's fiberglass eh? I had a feeling it was something from that era lol. I'm sure these come pretty close in relevance to the ole Pearl birch/fiberglass kits?
