You know if you add vocals you'd probably see the first mix come into itself. Like the drums actually sound pretty damn good. They've at least got some weight to them. Besides the fact that I can hear that they are programmed they're pretty sweet. What program are you using? But yeah that cymbal has to go. It's probably just the program fault. It'd hard to get constant crashes sounding realistic when it keeps triggering the same god damn sample every time. It's not natural!
The bass tones sound pretty sexy also. Guitar are good, but I'd say the weakest tonally.
Well done man.  |
Really? I think the drums in the first one sound totally limp, and the whole mix sounds empty D: The snare IS weirdly EQ'd and shit, ha, I keep just messing with it to no avail :/ It's kind of weird trying to mix to sound like an existing song, but also trying to put your own stamp on it, but also being limited by what you're working with and your experience! But I think the newer kick fits better in that respect? I'll go back and re-evaluate everything though!
I'm using SSD in Reaper for the drums, with some other compressors and FX and shit. For the most part they're pretty decent sounding, but it's hard to get a sound out of them which is a bit more raw. It starts fighting against itself, or that's how it feels! I don't even know why the crash is doing that, cuz it's supposed to be a good program for avoiding that weird sound, and there are lots of different samples in it and stuff.
Distorted guitar is the thing I probably find most alien trying to work with at the moment. But it's just a DI with some amp sims and shit, so anything's easily changeable if you've got any suggestions?
And yes! I totally want vocals on it, but I can't find anyone with the skillz
Thanks for listening to it and stuff
