Thanks for the reply !

What would you do to the bass ? I just feel that if I put on even more bass that it would totaly get lost. Just a big dark cloud hanging over the other instruments...

Hmm, the snare. the snare... Yeah I don´t really like it either.. Have to see what I can do with it..

Anyway, thanks !

You can always replace the toms .
The room sound of the drums is nice.
The open hihat is sometimes too loud.
Bass is weak, indeed. Try some reamping, ampfarming ..
And there are 2 drum fills wich have a bad timing - try edit them more.
Guitars = ok.

first off. Thanks for your reply..

Yes. I am working on those Toms. Don´t want to replace them. But I really would want to make them more "fitting the drum set" if you know what I mean..

How do I do if I want to reamp the bass ?? I have never done anything like that so some tipps or tricks would be great. By "ampfarming" you mean send the bass to Ampfarm plug in and "put on" a new sound ??

If you want to it would be really nice if you could go to http://www.averyrock.com/mcd.html there are some more songs from the same session, maybe you could comment on those as well ?

THANKS

Yea - try some Ampfarm on it - or, if you have acces to such - UAD Preflex . I do this with DI bass and it helps, even if those simulators are ment for guitars - U can tweak it to fit right.
Reamping - well, you will really need a good bass amp. Lots of info on the internet 'bout this - there's even a device to do this properly - A Design ..."can't remember". The ones that do the ATTY thing and the preamps.

hey, im new here!!! anyway....I dunno, Im thinkin instead of a compression on the drums, maybe a low pass filter.... it will control some of the sibilance... and yes as everyone else...boost the bass a bit... but its definitely a great start!!!

Thanks !

Yeah I´ll try to fix that... I am recording the Vocals next week so I´ll do it then. I have to see how the Vocals sit first then I take care of the music :-D

I´ll Post a clip when vocals are there !
