Mix
#1
Some drum sample enhancement (kick, snare). Some bomb-like ear candy in the verses (the song is about war). Motion delay effects.


06/26 - added new version (old version seems dark to me)
06/27 - final version (cymbals were bleeding from snare top - fixed by gating

Hi Marty ! I'm PE's drummer and mix engineer.

Globally I like the tone of your mix. You added some cool FX but it's too much obvious. Here's what you can do to improve your mix:

For the parts with real drums, I think you should tame the reverb a little bit. It takes too much attention and make the drums sound diffuse.
In the verses, only the vocals are audible. Everything else is wayyyy too much drowned in the FX you used. I can't barely recognize the drum loops and the key parts.
The cymbals have some harsh frequencies. You can do some chirurgical EQ to fix that.

I like the samples you used, but some kick hits are missing.
I like the guitar and bass tones you achieved.

Cheers Smile
