Ok, here is a song that I have a good amount of work done on.
2 Guitar tracks panned left
2 Guitar tracks panned right
1 bass track panned in the center
1 beatcraft drum project

Please, no comments on the drums not sounding human. I am just looking for comments on the mix. I rendered all the tracks to a wav file, I then imported that wav file into mixcraft, added EQ and compression, save, exited and then re-opened the mixcraft project, then rendered that to wav and then converted the wav to mp3 (the above link)
I would love any and all coments regarding the mix, good and bad. Any sugestions as well for a better mix.
Thank you for your time.
Peter
New mix.......comments?

The guitars (And tune) are pretty nice. The crunching, driving rhythm would fit well in a game scene where you're killing a buncha zombies.
The drums... well it's not that they don't sound human, although you must already have known that.
It's that with the mix set the way it is your kick drums sound more like static than percussion instruments. I would try a little more reverb and considerably less compression. (At least that's what my relatively untrained ear seems to be hearing.)
In gereral I'd think about bringing the guitars up front a little more.

Hey EL34, LOL...if you have never listed to "Death Metal" I am sure you will not like it.
Here is a clip of it with about 50% of vocals done, this should give you a better idea of the style of musis it is:

Let me know what you think of the vocals.

re
EL34, you come up with some of the funniest things!
Woodpeckers destroying your garage is hillarious!
Bloodsoaked, the guitars and bass sound great, nice tones. I am not a huge fan of death metal but i can appreciate how much effort you have put into the drum track and recording the instruments.
Oh and EL34, this is exactly what Death Metal sounds like. Some of those drummers play so fast that they sound like machines themselves.
