Yeah. Drums are pretty loud. Looking at the waveform of the mix its pretty obvious, as it is in the monitors. Your kick and snare are regularly peaking over 6dB over the other *peaks*- sometimes 9. RMS levels jump almost 6dB with each hit, too.
I'd try bringing each drum down 2-3dB and turning the the guitars up 4-5dB. Then rebalance the bass and the vocals. Then adjust from there. You can probably be more agressive with the panning, too. Kick the guitars out a little farther - that'll keep room open in the middle for the vocals while increasing the over all level.
How'd you mic the drums? Sounds close mic'd without (or with very little) room sound. Overheads? At least I'm used to the drums offering more of a stereo image- that may be part of what I'm missing.
Compression setting on the individual drums? That could easily be a trouble spot. Something about the attack of the drums bothers me- it might just be that its loud, but I'm still not sure.
The other thing I thought of was to ask how you get the mix from the 2488 to the computer? If you're running it pretty close to 0dB and have a stock soundcard... sometimes the cheap convertors can't actually handly 0dB and it starts to clip the convertors even if its not clipping the 2488 on one side and Wavelab on the other. That's could also explain what's irritating me about the peak of the drums.
Dunno. It sounds *good* except that I feel like I'm getting kicked and punched in the head after a while. It could be just the relative volume of the drums, but something sounds a little off. I'm throwing out a bunch of things that it might be...but I could be totally wrong.
Anyway- good work over all. The recording itself sounds really clean. The mix needs some touchups... but so do all of mine.
take care,
Chris
