I think you should try running the drums, especialy the snare,
through tube warmth or a tube amp for more presence and some
dirt.

I pretty much agree here. How do you check levels? Bass in particular
can be very sensitive to amp quality, and you need to keep in mind many
of your listeners will be hearing it on computer speakers, portables
etc.

Yep agree here too

Here we differ, I thought the percussion was OK!

Trying. Though the effects are nonnegotiable ;)

I think I need an ear calibration... as you know this isn't my first offence.
I do indeed like it a bit bassy, I guess my monitors are forgiving in that it
does not sound bad. I think I'll try to find some computer speakers for
comparison.

Clearly better. Still rumbles, vocal levels are ok now.
Now I would try to give the drums more room (reverb).

Guess you should listen to comparable records on the same system.
I'm tempted to ask for single, dry tracks, but just now there's MusE
waiting with Mr. Godfrey's music :)

Hehe, yes, but that would be to admit defeat (or I'm just scared to share), so
I'll keep exerimenting myself ;)

I *like* the bassiness.
It goes "thwum thwum thwumthwumdum dum dum Dang g-darngh!"
Seriously, though: I loved this track as soon as it started. It's got
a really nice feel.

Vocals much better now too.

Very nice guitar and bass sounds, care to explain how you recorded those?
Drums are odd: they sound like samples (almost impossible to avoid
without using a real drummer IMO), but the timing has some human
roughness to it - which overall I like a lot, but there are some fills
where the drummer seems to be a bit drunk :) Appropriate for the style
though.

ok ok
Both are recorded through a PODxt with a heavily tweaked guitar patch that I
like very much. Dark, does not distort that much unless you hit it hard. Oh
and the guitar was tuned in D.
The bass used another patch with a bit of distortion to get some more
presence.

Yes, drunk, me. Drum programming is tireing... It is possible that a tempo
related bug in MusE has something to do with it also. I need to check that.

Peak chainsaw, I like that expression.

It is indeed hitting the limiter very hard, on purpose. Not very hifi I
know...
Though, clicks, I can't really hear them no. You have younger and less
destroyed ears I suppose ;)
