Wow! Thank you for selecting my mix to be included in the winners circle! I feel honored
. I had a blast with this challenge and would like to thank everyone involved making this happen! Also a congrats to the other two winners!!!
Question, so if I choose the kilohearts bundle that was just added, do I have to select either multi pass OR snaphead? I’m a little confused on that one…?
Thanks!

Hi Philippe!
I am listening to your mix right now hoping I find the right words to explain my comment better. One of the things with the drum in your mix is that there is very little sustain. That makes it sound what I call "clean". I don't mean that it needs reverb, It could be the compression setting. If you use a very fast release time you get more sustain. Or maybe it is because of the settings on the gate. There are lots of things that can add more rawness to the drum. The most dirt on the drumtracks I provided was present on the roommic I think. Smashing that track with aggressive compression and maybe some saturation or even distortion and mixing that in with the rest of the drum can give the drum lots of attitude. I am not sure if you have used the roommic in that way, but when I am listening to your mix it feels like the focus is mainly on the closemics (at least that is what I think I am hearing). I hope this helps to figure out what I meant by 'too friendly' ;-) and again, it is a matter of personal taste. Your drummix sounds very good but just not what I was looking for in this mix.
En graag gedaan!
Cheers
Jeroen
Jeroen,
This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Your deduction is spot on. I did not use the room mic. Propably a habit from my live gigs, In a live setting, most of the time you are fighting the room acoustics, so you want to capture the driest sound possible. In my next studio mix, I will spend more time experimenting/working with the room mic(s)
cheers,
Philippe
