| Hi Rich,
taking in consideration that you have no eq and compression on the drums I have to say that I really dig the sound! Of course most of todays music and productions don't sound anywhere near a real live acoustic drumset in a room, but you have to know what you are going for. If you want a modern rock sound you'll need tons of compression (tracks, buss, parallel, ...), eq and fx at the most, but your tracks seem to be a good basis for further processing in mixing.
But if you want some criticism: Add room mics (at least one mono room, but maybe even a stereo pair, too) cause they often find more use in creating a drumsound than the overheads. And work on your kick and snare sound. More likely in choosing the right drums, tuning and mic placement than in processing.
Apart from this I'm a fan of commiting yourself to a certain sound while tracking. Kind of the vision you have sound-wise for the project you are doing. And this mostly does mean the use of eq and compression in the recording process imho.
But anyways: Good work!
Cheers,
Chris |
