Forkupines: 'Sleep By The Fire, Bloom In Water' kapu mix

[kapu]

Loud stuff, because that's how the kids like it. ^_^

Wow, that's a dense mix. The drums sound as if they were played for a metal song And the guitars could be a bit louder in my opinion.
But hey, it's good! Keep it up!

Thanks. Did some minor level adjustments. I kinda like this unnatural hypersmashing drum sound. Some mixes here have good natural drums, but it's like poking cardboard boxes with sticks when it should be like hitting pieces of raw meat with baseball bats. ^_^

Hey there. Nice mix...It'd be nice if u went full metal and give a try to the guitars too hehe...Ok, now about ur last mix...you lost your toms somewhere in the middle...Also maybe a bit too much reverb on the drums. The rest is good

Yeah, that smashing drums require to getting used to it but I quite like them now!
I agree with Ak3r, there's a bit too much reverb on the drums. But it's getting close now!

Took down some reverb and tried bring out the toms. Also tried to generally clear up things a bit. Edit: Uploaded the correct updated version. ^_^

Added new mix.

Hi Kapu, just listening to the latest mix on cheap speakers at work. Sounding really good from this perspective.

The thing I'm noticing is that the drums seem to be poking out a bit too much in the verses. They are better balanced in the choruses, but they are perhaps still a little on the loud side compared to the vocals and guitars etc. Maybe just automating their overall level between verse and chorus would help balance things better.

Hi Kapu, just [...]

thanks! i think i automated some other stuff down on the verses. i was planning to lower drum sample velocities for verses, but got lazy and just uploaded the damn thing. ^_^
