Bleed Segments (my first S2.0 mix)

Two riffs from the song Bleed by Meshuggah.
This is the first mix with the Superior Drummer 2.0. Also, the Master bus was mixed with Sonar's LP64 Linear EQ and Compressor.

The mix doesn't sound very good now that I think about it and the snare is clipping too.

I can tell the problem here, it's actually very easy most likely, the guitars sounds fine.

The drums, everything needs to come up a couple of db's, 1-2db higher in volume, that snare however needs to go down 1-2db instead!

Then you will most likely be alright, also considering using hi-pass filters on the guitars, at around 80-90hz that cleans up the lowend a little, because you need it for the bass and kickdrums.

@Reaper1984 Yeah, good points there. I was even greater n00b in drum mixing one year ago than what I am today.

Thats awsome! very nice quality of the sound, what kind of soundcard are you using when you record?

[kodoku42]

@Vargaath just the basic Realtek HD Audio ALC883, nothing special

[WillSnyderMusic]

what kind of guitar rig are you running to have such an aggressive sound?? I'm using Mesa boogie with Prs... what kind of guitar and amp, and mic are you using... killer hard sound

[kodoku42]

In this session I used just POD 2.0 with a preset based on a soldano amp model. And the guitars have lots of post eq.

ezdrummer actually has a 'drumkit from hell' which is tomas haake's kit sampled. just saying

[foxtrot889]

The drums and guitar sound nice, but the mix isn't that good, imo. I almost can't make out the drums. The kick is virtually non-existent. A little tweaking with the volumes and this would be pretty epic.

great mix. snare sounds a litte off though.. try to add a little plate reverb and low some db from it :)

[brandon5pennies]

I agree with Branstock kick should be more prominent but great mix overall

[YSiLvErY]

can you send me your preset?

[slayer666metallica]

Guitars are SUPER choppy.... not the playing, but almost like a soundcard problem. Just doesn't sound right to my ears... ?

Either way, great job!
