Roots Of Mankind - Nucleus - 12-12-2016
Hi all,
Great song and a LOT of guitars to choose from....
No replacements here. Spend quite some time getting the fundament to my liking.

Hi Nucleus ! (cool name by the way
) I'm Perpetual Escape's drummer, and I mixed the album where this is from. I really like the tone of the drums. You make them quite powerful. The cymbals are a bit harsh, especially the hi hats. Some low pass filter will definitively help to keep them calm.
The kick is hidden behind the other instruments. I believe you can scoop a lot of mids to help cut more.
Nice move on the pre chorus. I would recommend to make the echo more subtle, using EQ and delays and or reverb.
I love the tone of the guitars ! They sound very organic and real. Nice FX on them !
Keep it up !

Hi Mandubien,
Thanks for your feedback! Means a lot.
I will implement your suggestions in a new iteration. Will post when done.
Cheers

Hi,
Just changed some stuff based on the recommendations of Mandubien:
Decloacked the kick in the upper frequency range
Tamed the hats
Turned down the delay on the pre-chorus
Additional:
Some minor changes to the bass
Added some body to the male lead
Cheers

I really like the second version ! The kick is much better, and the hats are smooth.
Well done !
