Metal w/ Avatar kit “Fair Warning”

[Codestation]

A song about a lunatic warning of alien invasion.

Used the Avatar kit, minimal bleed, no ambient mics, bussed through my own room and ‘verb impulses. I know it needs work still, wanted a “Disconnected” – era Fates Warning drum sound (not performance).

Thanks!

Hi buddy,

All sounds good, but I’d say the drums either need to be “dried out” or the rest of the mix to be bussed (albeit slightly) to the room reverb, the guitars are a touch too upfront in the mix.

I think you did a great job all around; probably as good as anything I’ve heard on here as far as the total package of songwriting, singing, playing etc (I haven’t heard all the songs on here).
Your voice is great especially in the chorus, love the tone of the guitars and sustain. I’m only listening on a computer system, but it all sounds good to me.
Of course there always has to be a but…a small one though, and just personal taste. I would have put off all the mulitple (I believe kick hits) until the bridge. Maybe a bit at the start, but for sure I would have taken the ones out after the first chorus. Anyway, great job!!
