Nice tone

i like the guitar tone a lot.

as far as the mix goes, my only suggestion is to bring up the kick, snare and most of the cymbals a bit. and for god's sake, turn down that splash!

Sounds really nice I like it

Nice going man. Very rhythmic, and heavy as well .

Although, I'd say that you probably shouldn't throw the "d" word around here. It's rubbing many of the members up the wrong way.

I dig it....great song, and tone!

As for that splash....it IS a bit loud, but I kinda like how it impacts as an effect that way. I would still turn it down some, but too much so.

I'm curious....how'd you record your guitar for this?

try mixing drums separately. don't turn on the guitar/bass or any other tracks at all. just mix the different drum levels as related to each other until the kit sounds pretty good.

THEN turn on the other other tracks. instead of fitting it to the guitar volumes, try fitting the guitar volumes to the drums instead. it'll seat better and more easily that way.

and that should get you to a decent point. then you can fine tune the levels and EQ on the drums.

Niceee man, sounding much tighter.
I reckon play around with whole mix compression to get it sounding punchier, but imo ezdrummer will always make a drum part sound weak and thin so it will never sound very energetic. We need superior 2!

just one track hard left and one hard right, used an SE4 condenser just of center of the cone and about 2 inches away from the cone

there wasn't a single djent in there at all, was there? had nothing to do with djent

interesting stuff, but i honestly don't know how to help with the tone and mix. if i were to do something here, i would have to reset everything and mix it from the bottom up. something about it makes me unable to pick on one specific thing

work on it though, and try listening to pro mixes that you think sound good. listen to what they've done to everything, and try to replicate it. not for your own personaly use, of course, but just to learn how that works
