drum overdub

[lasso]

Hey dudes.

This was recordede using the "overdub hihat and cymbal" tecnique.

What do you think...mix, production....

Please comment - it will be the band's (my band's) radio single.

Cheers, Lasso

REALLY DIG IT,i think you have convinced me to try the drum overdubs. RAD.

your compression is technically very perfect, clean and no artifacts, plus a very rich sound, but especially in the chorus, dynamics are missing. the rhythm pattern is very flat there, I would prefer more dynamics in the lower mids. arrangement problem - it is mainly the guitars acting like vacuum cleaner. obeying "radio"? I would try to give the snare more depth and sustain. the highs are nice. (cymbals etc)

dynamics _between_ the different parts of the track are ok.

I think it sounds tight overall but I think the whole mix lacks depth and big-ness. I like the vocal production.

I like the production except the drums.
I like drums to sound like they are played in one room from one person . I don't care for one beat not being as strong as all the others but to hear drums sounding like from a sound module makes me always a little depressed.

Great song I hope it does well on radio.

Thanks for your replies.

I tend to agree about the chorus being somewhat flat, dynamics-wise - probably due to the dist. guitars being a little over compressed...hmmm...don't think I bother to remix though...it's gonna be squashed to hell on air anyways (thanks Orban...) h

This was kind of an experiment but we ended up digging the drum sound so much that we're gonna keep that in future productions.

roughly: Go ahead...remember, it takes a really cool drummer to pull it off. Give them something to pound on for the missing hi-hat, as this seems to be the hardest thing for the drummer to leave out.

And...it takes a fair bit of drum editing afterwards - so be patient

Cheers dudes
