Hey guys, new member here. I decided to give Atlantis Bound's "It Was My Fault for Waiting" a try as I just found this place and want to practice. I think this is my 4th attempt working with live drums (full trap). Really dug the arrangement... lots of moving bits.
Not without some challenges, the first 6 hours or so I was building from the drums up, and by the time I started getting the guitars together, everything fell apart sonically, so I ditched the whole mess and started fresh from the piano section and meandered my way down. I think this was more successful and I'm happy with the outcome.
Mastering might be a titch hot, but man, some of my reference materials were just pinned (notably, Lacuna Coil was pinned...) So it's maybe a bit hot (-10RMS) but I think that's reasonable given the nature of the material.
Other general notes, gating the toms on the way in provided a bit of a challenge, and I'm still not entirely happy with the guitars at the end (loved the solo tones, but would have liked to have them continue on the way out, just playing some thickening... they left a hole in the mix when they left).
Anyways, I'd love some criticism. Comments welcome.
Hi everyone!
Oh, this was all done in-the-box in Studio One V2 and I didn't add any samples or anything.
