I love the 70’s feel of the song. It almost has a Ramones type of feel to me. As I stated in a previous thread, if you don’t wish to read further, I’m okay with that.

I would pull the vocals back to sit in the mix and pull back the doubling so that it’s reinforcing the main vocals. In some parts, such as the verses, I would take the doubling out completely in order to allow certain parts of the song to make a point. I would also play a bit with the drum mix to add a bit more energy to the song, but not too much to overpower it. I would also take a bit of lo to lo-mids out of the guitar (they don’t need a lot of woof, and they sometimes can take away from the other instruments).

And as I also stated, don’t let what I said be a detraction. I liked what I heard so far.

Overall the track is excellent, so if you don’t want to read any further, I’m okay with that.

What I would probably would have done was bring the drums and vocals just a bit more forward as the guitars cut through very well. I might have also cut back the reverb/echo on the vocals in parts of the song as the song itself feels like it wants to be in your face but the vocals are holding it back. I’m also not perceiving the bass guitar, which would add a bit of meat to the bottom (I would use the Bob Marlotte trick of separating the low from the mids in the bass guitar) and help to bring out the drums overall.

Don’t let what I said sound like a detraction.

So… I just got the Death Metal EZX & so far I’m loving it! Here’s a quick little test demo I did this morning. I’m using the Mark Lewis Metallic Black Kit. Guitars are just DI using Ignite Emissary & NadIR. What do you guys think? I think the Death Metal EZX is the best sounding EZX so far. Bravo Toontrack!

Track is excellent. As far as the drums go, it’s more of how well the library sits in your song than anything else. I would agree that the both the EZX and preset used go well with your song. On critique I have is that I don’t know if you did any bass guitar because I didn’t really pick any up on any of my speakers. That’s all I would want to hear just a bit more to complement the guitars.
