Hey guys, I'm new here. I have looked at the forum over the past year or so and read and such, but this is my first mix I'm posting. Please give honest feedback. I'm using Addictive Drums and JUST got it yesterday so I'm still learning how to EQ drums and such. Keep in mind this is a very heavy song, and the guitar tone is terrible because I'm using a Line 6 Spider II direct out to my Ultralite mk3. Again, be gentle but honest! Thanks! This linked file will bring up a window that plays the song.

Mainly I'm looking for advice on how to EQ and Compress the kick and snare. The cymbals and toms are GarageBand's MIDI drums, I haven't had a chance to insert Addictive Drums' cymbals and toms yet. I need the drums to be more up front and in your face. Super punchy, like check out For the Fallen Dreams' album Changes and The Ghost Inside's album Fury and the Fallen Ones. Love the kit sounds on those albums.
