The drums could be a lot punchier, a little less reverb-y, and could stand to come up in the mix a bit.

How do I add "punchyness" I've been trying to figure that out for a while. Drums are my worst enemy can never really get them to sound how I'd like.

Superior drummer can be hard to get that really professional sounding punch with. Here's a really good SD2 tutorial: http://bit.ly/mmSsbO

[xBOBxSAGETx]

Added the guitar to the side chain comp I think it molds better now. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9875484/Villains-Warning Shots Pre-Pro Side Chain Comp(Temp Final.0.0.2).mp3

 

[xBOBxSAGETx]

Put everything through the Side Chain Comp because it just sounded better lol http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9875484/Vil...e-Pro Side Chain Comp.1(Temp Final.0.0.2).mp3

 

[xBOBxSAGETx]

Guitars were lacking MIDS so I pumped em up. Notes are more articulate now

The snare sounds like a piece of cardboard being hit.
I think it's awesome.

Thank you man, I've been working really hard and I'm mixing out of HS280s lol
I like it because it doesn't sound like an S2.0 snare. Everyone uses Black Beauty and I'm sick of hearing it I wanted to use something different and it cuts really well. Updated mix, I took the bass out of the Side Chain Compression which pushing my guits back http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9875484/Villains-Warning Shots (Drumagog5.1).mp3
