Blastbeat + tone test (Podfarm, S2.0)

[leandroab]

So the main reason for this thread is because I'm really insecure regarding my blast beat programming skills

I don't think the snare blends well, I think the velocities could be better, I don't know...

Guitars are quad tracked 80% 60%.
Bass is the guitar pitchifted

What do you guys think?

(sorry for the short duration)

OBS: nevermind the soundclick fail

I think it's awesome!

sounds fine, but the guitars could stand to be turned down to mix better with the drums, and the velocity on the snare and/or its volume should come down slightly, make sure not to do it too much

Edit: listening on my headphones and not my speakers ( why do they decieve me ?!) the snare actually comes across as a little too weak. bring it up a little.

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Sounds heavy man!

Snare could definitely come up in the mix or just like you say raise the velocities

 

[leandroab]

thanks for the comments!

But which velocities? The ones of the blast beat I presume?

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Yeah in the blasts, that's what you wanted advice for right?

Yes... hahaha

Pardon my stupidity!

maybe raise the pitch on the snare make it stand out more
