phil... very funny lyrics)) i think the mix is cool, i would just change the snare sound... i guess theres a sampled sound triggered with it that sound like a rimshot... it´s cool, but when he drum fills come on it sound a bit strange... other than that it sounds ok...

por acaso tu é paulista? eu sou um paulista que mora no rio há muito tempo... cansei do aeroporto!

Well, trying to focus only in the mix, afetr a quick listen....
I feel a lack of low end and smoothness. I would try improve it, also cuting some Hi here and there. Because the overall mix sounds a bit brittle to me.. IMHO.
Maybe the master is too much squashed, which may result in a thinner sound overall and lack of definition.
What's the Mic, pre and converters?

Hi taturana, its just rimshot, its not triggered, the snare that i use is a mapex orion brass!!!

Hey cosmonauta, tanks for the reply! I agree with you! And the band too,
I will make a new version, with less highs and more low end!
I used various mics and pres, But mainly Avalon 737 Sp , neumann tlm103 for vocal, sm57 for guitars .the converters are from MOTU 2408Mk2.

Hi Phil, if you had a chance I encorage you to try a beefer pre (Neve 1073 or it's clones, Great River, Chandler TG2, API etc...) and experiment alternatives to the TLM103 asap.
Trust me, I have a 1073 and already worked a lot with the 737... in my point of view, it will be a hughe improvment to the warmth, detail and sonics of your recordings.
I also have a TLM103 which sounds way harsh and brittle if compared to my U87 or the U47. Belive it or not, the M-Audio Sputnik is way big and warmer than the TLM103, althought cheaper.... easy to find in Brazil.
Grande abraço e boa sorte!

m-audio sputnick i-will check this!!!
This set of pre and mic is intencionally for brith sounds, i use a sm-7 with a joemeek vc-6 for more warm sounds, bur a neve 1073 or a great river is much better ! The problem is $$$$
Abraço!!! Obrigado!!!
