Guys I
I'm going a bit nuts on this issue, apparently lots of people told me that my mix/master is squashed to hell, I'm quite newbie so I can't really hear that.
I just need to understand now exactly at which stage the issue is, I'm going nuts, I added only the drums track (processed) so you can really tell me if the drums are that much compressed as everyone says, or if the issue is at master level, cause to me the drums sounds ok.
Also I added the unprocessed mix, and the normal mix and the Master version.
Can you please tell where this squashing issue starts to appear?
I need to understand where it is to correct it.
Please consider it's post metal/rock so usually quite compressed genre by definition.
I tried to shave the drums peaks so that I can raise the overall song volume in the master without squashing the whole song into the master limiter.
this is my mix unprocessed
This is only the drums track ( processed)
this is the mix processed
this is the Master
I reduced the guitar treble in the unprocessed version, they were a bit harsh, but I'm more concerned about compression and dynamics.
