How do i get this to sound as good as it can get? (Miced up Marshall JVM 215c, DI Bass, Addictive Drums) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78978638/Heartbreak Blues (version 1).mp3 http://www.facebook.com/TheKrisXenopoulosProject
sorry here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78978638/Heartbreak Blues (version 1).mp3 and i fixed it in my first post aswell
for the compressor please use a slower attack on drums bus, it's "breathing" too much BTW this mix sounds like it's mono
You should definitley pan the drums. Kick+Snare in the center. OHs to there respective side. Toms from left to right but not too heavy. Also decide on which style you prefer, panning the drums like you are the drummer or someone in the crowd? Example (listener in the crowd): Kick in the center Snare in the center or a little bit off, like 5-10% right Hi-hat to the right ~30% Ride to the left ~30-50% Cymbals to where they stand obviously. Toms where they are hanging. Maybe, going from high to low, 20% right, 5% left, 20%left, 45% left.
