Members Tommy Horrible Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well tell me what you think, It's definitely harder to get the drums to punch through without replacing them, but I like the "tone" of real drums better, and you don't have to do a bunch of editing of the triggers, the performance just is what it is. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11405099 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members charveldan Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Maybe mute the kick drum with a pillow, guitars sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nerine Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Very dark. Kick is too pointy and seems to have no real low end.snare needs some top. The tone of the guitars seems to be fine. Just everything needs brightening.I'd maybe raise the OH's a bit too. maybe add in some of the room mics.

Members karlw Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 Drums need more impact - are they heavily compressed? Nothing seems to pop out of the mix. Like others have said - the "click" of the kick drum is way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretless Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 the click has to go . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Attercop Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I like the guitar sound, but the snare sounds really dark/dull, and the kick drum click thing is just not good. Not only is it annoyingly trebly, but there's no real low end to back it up, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the rack tom, I liked the rack tom The kick makes me particularly sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tommy Horrible Posted January 31, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 K, to sum up guitars sound good, kick is clicky, snare to dark, brighten, gotcha, mixed this on my DT770s, it is kinda hard to mix on headphones but right now with a newborn it's my only real option.

That's funny, that rack tom is completely untouched, I thought it sounded bad ass so I didn't touch it, everything else it Eq'ed, compressed, limited, and reverbed.

Members Tommy Horrible Posted February 15, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 15, 2012 Updated Mix, {censored} it I replaced the drums. http://soundcloud.com/to_my-horror-studio/mm1-2-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members karlw Posted February 15, 2012 Members Share Posted February 15, 2012 To me, this sounds much better. The drums are way better. The overall mix sounds a bit "closed" though - not much on top. It just doesn't open up for me. This may be due to your monitors being too bright so you're mixing to your monitors and perhaps it sounds good in that context. Try playing this mix in different environments and comparing it to similar material. Play it in your car, with headphones, over your stereo system.

Members ENdtime Posted February 15, 2012 Members Share Posted February 15, 2012 What did you replace on the drums besides the kick? Sounds like there is a sample playing with the real snare. Toms I can't directly remember the first mix but they sound good. I agree the replaced kick is better, but I think you could have made the rest of the drums work fine without replacement or reinforcing. I always like the sound and feel of live snare and Toms. I think I actually prefer a triggered kick.. Even myself being a drummer I'm really into capturing a live sound, but I just can't get my kick to work no matter what I do. It sounds fine live and has a big bottom end, but when its recorded and in a mix it just doesn't work for me. But anyway I like the mix. Guitars are nice and raw and sit nicely.. For the bands you usually record I think you do a great job capturing the band as I imagine they sound live. For this style, I think that's a great element to capture.

Members Norton666 Posted February 15, 2012 Members Share Posted February 15, 2012 I think the mix as a whole needs more presence. Because its so dark , it it doesnt sound up front and in your face. As far as the kick sound goes , the click doesnt bother me. I think it fits that style of music just fine. The individual elements of the mix are fine , but I think the whole thing needs brightened up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
