Yeah, I don't know what to do about the cymbals, as I'm getting my toms out of them as well. I also used a ribbon mic about 4 feet away from the kit at tom level to capture a little more bottom end on the toms as well...
EQ settings:
Guitar - low cut, low mid/mid scoop, slight boost above 5k
Bass - complete cut over 500hz, low cut (<150)
kick - <20hz cut, slight boost at 80hz, scoop 100-400hz, boost 1k for click
snare - low cut, huge scoop, boost at 5k, and a little more at about 10k
OH - low cut (<150hz) boost 151-500hz (for toms), scoop mid, boost >5k
Ribbon room mic - high cut, low cut (<150hz)
That's about what I can think of right now. Also, those tracks were almost COMPLETELY dry. I didn't have time to adjust reverb before jamming that mp3 up there. I have added some more, and will post it up tomorrow after a few tweaks.
As for the vocals:
Our vocalist is currently sick, yet he attempted to sing it. It didn't sound so great, but gave me the opportunity to see what his voice needs in terms of EQ and stuff, so it served its purpose. It was sub-par, so it was muted during mixdown. The guitars are scooped in the mids because the vocals got buried when the guitars lit up. Any suggestions? I've also noticed my mixes never really "feel" in your face, how do I go about getting a wider sound? Guitars are doubled 80% L and R, and the OH are hard L & R. The solo guitar (which isn't recorded yet) will be up the center, along with the kick, snare, and bass. I'm thinking of panning dual vox slightly left and right, and harder panning my backup vox (which aren't recorded yet either).
Let me know if I'm way off base, or if I don't have a clue. All suggestions are welcome....thanks again dudes!
