| Get rid of that snare sound. It kills the tune. You need a more "full body" snare sound. Make ther guitars a bit louder as well. That is where I would start. |

| Where should I focus my EQ on the snare? to get it more full bodied tone as you say? |

| There are no hard fast rules here. I would just experiment and see what you find. I guess a good starting point would be somewhere down around 100hz, just for arguments sake, with a fairly wide Q. Adjust to taste. Feel free to move the target frequency around as well as Q (Bell shape). |

| The snare is very unnatural sounding and to be honest, it's just plain weird. It doesn't sound like a snare's supposed to sound. If there is no EQ on it now, then something weird happened when it was tracked. It has entirely too much top end on it. It doesn't sound fat at all. It also sounds like there's WAAYYYY too much bottom snare and something's phasey... if you have a top and snare bottom mic (it almost sounds like there's only a bottom mic), make sure to flip the polarity (phase) on the bottom mic. I'll give it another listen. Please don't take this personally, either... you'll get it. |
