how do you reduce room sound on the kit, would less reverb do that?

What can be done to bring drums to the front without them just being louder?

Well what a flame war I started here. Not my intended purpose. Let me explain a bit more. I am learning audio production and I post my tracks on youtube in order to see how well they do. I also look for feedback from every track so that the next track I produce will be better. For example...

Agree with the previous comments about the kick, bring that down. I think that will completely change the sound, for the better though.

Well just because its on youtube doesn't mean its a finished product, in fact its just a backing track at this point, as the video states. I will be adding more guitars before I release the finished product. I'm looking for feedback on the sound quality and the mix. Is the bass a good level...

Hey guys, looking for some feedback on my latest track. Its a simple rock bass groove with drums and a bit of guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbOpUUnWa0E&index=14&list=PLNxOq4-5f2w49hT3nZzeJdbSYoNGV1TLC

Alright I brought up the drum level, re recorded the bass and used an amp sim on the bass to give it a more distinct and recognizable sound. I think it sounds better so far https://soundcloud.com/ben-2014/azog-demo-2

Thanks for all the feedback, it seems the bass is the main thing I need to work on, and then work on the drums a little bit. When it comes to drums most of you guys are saying they needed to be louder, but is that the only thing or are there other tweaks that need to be made to help them cut...

Well my bass is so cheap its falling apart, $175 bass would be an upgrade

There was a bass but my bass is so cheap that I had to cover it up to make it sound ok, I think I should invest in a moderately good bass. And far as the drums, if your not into metal I wouldn't expect you to enjoy the drum sound.

Well it wasn't an amp sim, I miced up a cab.

Hey guys, here is a demo of a metal track I'm working on. Specifically wanted to know what you think about how the drums and guitar sit together in the mix. Thanks! https://soundcloud.com/ben-2014/azog

Ok, I'll try that, does the reverb tend to make the instrument sound like its behind everything else?

Hey all, I recently recorded a garage rock style song, so far I have the whole backing track done. I'm just going to add lead guitar in next but first I wanted some feedback on the quality of the backing track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVmxdGccomE&feature=youtu.be Thanks

There is a way in Cubase to split the feed of EZ drummer into 8 different outputs for each drum mic, would you recommend doing this and then applying effects on an individual basis, or do you apply the effects to the whole kit?

bailed, what do you mean bailed im still here!

Hello all, I recently got the program EZ Drummer 2 and its great so far, however I have a few questions about mixing it in with all the other instruments (guitar, bass, keys, etc.) Here is an example of a Track that was professionally produced with EZ Drummer...

Does anyone have any advice on mixing an acoustic guitar with a distorted electric guitar for a rhythm part. I normally record the acoustic guitar twice by micing the amp I'm plugged into, and pan one track all the way left and the other track all the way right. I Then do the same thing for...

SC, I appreciate the honest feedback and thanks for taking the time to listen to every track! The earlier drum tracks were made with a free software that came with Cubase so I agree those drums are terrible. Now that I have EZ Drummer (drums used on amaon amarth, punk in F#, d minor 6/8, and...

Hello all, I'm new to the recording process and I've been really enjoying it, I wanted to get some initial feedback on the songs I have made so far. I've been using Cubase Elements 7 and recording my guitar amp with a Shure SM57. I use EZ Drummer 2 for the drum tracks. Heres a playlist of my...
