I thought that’s what your levels would be. Bring them all down to -12dB, even the output. That will give you lots of room for boosting any EQ. Export at -12dB.
When you master them, the output needs to peak at -9bB for streaming, -6dB for CD and 0dB for radio. Put limiter on the output channel, to even out the peak levels.
Some great answers. I have a picture of the late great Charlie Whatts as my Logic Pro Icon for drums. The kit I’m using has a similar sound I think to his. If anyone asks who the drummer is in the future, I will say a session drummer called Charlie.
To my ears the drums don’t sound like midi, my co-writer thinks the same, it’s just that three people I know made those comments, which was the reason for asking the forum the question. It’s the first time I’ve used the forum in the words of Arnie ‘I’ll be back.’
You’ve been brave enough to let us hear your song. My band’s album is soundcloud.com/avoidantnorwich.
Further thoughts: it’s ‘too much like midi’ for someone. Given that the grooves were laid down by a pro drummer and playback is through a sampled kit, these whoevers are either clueless or too fussy to live. Maybe they are the kind to pick fault in everything. Your mix is dead right. You got the words clear without being too loud. That’s hard to get right when you know the. The naysayers should try doing what you do. The worst critics can’t do it themselves.

I’ve listened to Alice. The problem is what I thought it would be: the naysayers are talking squit. There’s nothing wrong with your song at all. Maybe the naysayers would like to try their own recording in ezdrummer.
