Untitled 1- A blues/rock thing...

[engineroom]

I am new to recording... please bash away. I have done 5-6 projects in the last year and I need all the help I can get.

This is a version of this song sans vocals... we should be tracking those soon...

I am really interested in feedback on the drum sounds. I treated the room differently within the last 3 months and this is the first drum tracking I was able to do.

Thanks for listening!!!

Ok, here's what I think (for what it's worth!) Concentrating only on the drums - I like the snare sound - you can really here the drum shell in it when the drummer fills or hits a little harder; the toms sound a little dead & could be less muddy (maybe hi pass filter?); the kick could be more distinct with a little more attack. Overall, the drums could definitely use more ambience / room sound.

i'd have the kick n snare a bit louder. and the hi hats seems to lack sizzle

Awesome... thanks guys.

At the moment nothing really sounds bad, but not everything meets my tastes. Try this:
Toss a stereo EQ on your 2bus (stereo out) and do a high shelf boost @ 5k. See what that does.

Will do Brandon...thanks. I put a limiter on the 2bus but that was it, I have just got my feet into mastering and I know that EQ can really help liven up a mix so I will try to do some tweaking here per your suggestion around the 5k range... thanks!!!
