chrisharris said:Sounds like you did a great job tracking and mixing. I'm not a big fan of the phaser on the guitar at the beginning, mostly because some kind of weird phasier than normal distortion seems to be happening, and I too have a problem with the snare, but that's it.
The phaser thing is a total nit; I'm not sure about the snare though...can you beef it up any? It's not just the range of the snare, it's the "roominess" of it that bugs me...the kick sounds like a big huge massive sample (sounds good, drumagogged or not), then you've got this pissant little snare, lol...I dunno'; I know you noticed it, so I'm assuming it was a band decision.
Besides, you're way beyond my help, lol.

I don't care for the snare sound but I just like a lower tuned snare.
Also, the snare seems like it is on it's own plane
Away from the rest of the song, to me.
Then again what do I know...
It does sound like you actually kept some of the mids in the guitars...
Kudos...
I can't stand the super scooped guitar sound that's so popular these days.

My kid has a toy snare that sounds like this. I "accidently" stepped on it. Great mixing, otherwise.NL5 said:Wow.
Everybody's already hit the points I heard. That is the WORST sounding snare (within a decent recording) I have ever heard. It distracts your attention from the rest of the song. The rest of the drums sound pretty good.
The only thing that bugged me about the guitars - when the distorted guits come back in at about 3/4 of the way thru, the left and the right parts don't seem to sync quite right. Not bad, just not right. (that's just a personal taste thing tho - and a performance thing - the recording is fine)
Nice work! (but please put your foot, fist, bat, whatever thru that effin snare)
