Sweet! Great mix, great performances, and as a guitar player I want to say that you really nailed that guitar tone! I like it!

[RushMan]

Thanks Eric & Joe,
Actually I only played the drums over a drumless track but I have to agree: the band did a great job!

That's a drumless... I think the Edge nailed that guitar.

Nice playing Luiz!

Edit: LOL - Luiz beat me to it.

Wow very nice. Witch snare setting are you using?

[RushMan]

Hi Cann, I'm using a very tweaked snare based on the TD-20's Brass Piccolo. Thanks!

The snare is just a bit too hot and the kick isn't hot enough. Something sounds a little empty...not sure if I can put my finger on it. It may be that the hhat is only on quarters...might sound a little 'fuller' if riding the eighths.

The general sound of the snare & cymbals was very good.

Oh...and there was no cowbell!

[RushMan]

dschrammie, thanks for the feedback!
I agree... listening today (12 hours after the mix), I think I need to bring the snare down... Also, I've played 8th notes in the hi-hat and if I listen to the drum track alone it sounds fine, but together with the mix it sounds like there are only quarter notes. Oh well... this is good for recording practice!

Nice. Great sounds. I'm going to load that on my IPOD!
