Rock Pop Emo song

[noodles2k5]

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.

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.
