Rock Pop Emo song

I love how I meant the style of the recording and feel of the song, and not the writing or performance. This is why I hate Texas.
 
sounds like strave has skills but I do think the song and mix is "cookie cutter". I suppose the mix is what the song requires though. that sansamp does sound damn good. I can't hear the autotune working, I have never used it or really ever listened for it on anything else before. when and where do you guys hear it? just trying to improve my listening skills a bit, think I have my bow skills pretty sharp now. :D

Start fooling around with it and you'll learn exactly what it sounds like.

My comment about the band had nothing to do with what I thought of the recording. It's just a generic sounding song..
 
How did you pan the drums

Took a quick listen and liked how spread the drums were -- do you remember how you panned all the elements of the kit?

OH were panned about 92% left and right...

Toms were panned about 87% L and R (he only had a rack and floor)

Kick and Snare center.
 
Drumagog...

thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do. I could always just use their real snare sound I suppose.

Since the snare seems to be the bone of contention I thought I'd chime in here.
First off great job on the mix, I don't care what the song is or if I would ever buy it etc. , you've done a great job and the mix suits the style perfectly.

I am assuming you D-gogged it because the original snare sound just wasn't happening.
I ran into this same thing recently and I tried mixing the original and the gogged sound and came up with some pretty good sounding snares. At one point i even took the two sounds as seperate tracks and panned them a bit left and right...interesting effect..lol..but what I am saying is using the drumagoged track as a "support" to the original crappy track might help it out without giving it a triggered sound.

Again - great job.

Thanks alot for your advice...

First of all the original snare isn't really that bad at all I just wanted something more processed sounding... more punchy or whatever... I got rid of it completely (I didn't blend it in really at all) becuase I am retarded. I then did the gog thing. The real problem is the eqing I did on the sample. I pushed up the highs probably more than I should have and now it sounds like a keyboard snare sound or something. It just totally screwed everything up. If anyone is really interested I'll repost when I fix that.
