Hi Gys,
So its my first upload on the site. Have not mixed metal before, but i found it super fun, since you can do some extreme things Big Grin Hope you like it!
Hello

The snare is loud in the mix. it needs to come down a bit.
There are some double hits on the kick missing at 1:13 through 1:25 .. also right tom has a hit around there that shouldnt be there. I would re check the triggers.
Good balances on the rest. The mix sounds smooth.

keep it up.
The snare sounds crap. There is no crack, no smack, just a low "thump". It's not what I would expect for this kind of music. Other than that it's a cool mix with some misstriggered and missing samples. You have to make sure that you setup trigger in the right way so it will use the right velocities for the samples. Some snare hits in your mix are very weak compared with others, and some of the tom hits sound like shit too. This is a clear sign that you are feeding trigger with an unbalanced signal. You should raise the input gain within trigger to make the drum performance balanced and powerful Smile

I have added a picture of my trigger settings with the gate enabled and the Input gain at +10db. Did a similar thing for the kick and toms.

You also didn't use the ref track the band has provided. That's bad because there are vocal parts that should be in a different spot =)
Thanks for feedback!I Made some changes: lowered snare volume, checked triggers in the 1:13 mark and made some tweaks in master fader.
How much volume did you lower on it? I hear the same volume.
I'm listening through speakers now and I hear conflict between the kick and bass.. It's making your low end very muddy. You need clarity a lil bit on one or the other.. or perhaps both. and by clarity I mean lower some low end at around 200hz.
