Doom demos

[Lifer]

Slowly working our way through our songs recording our first batch of demos.  

 

Qattara Depression Bandcamp

 

All recorded in Logic, drums are Roland V drums running through Superior Drummer 3, guitars and bass DI through Neural Amp Modeller.  There are a couple of mic'd up guitars here and there.

 

Hope you enjoy, any and all feedback welcomed

Enjoyed that mate. Sounds legit. Did you use different snare samples. The snare in the first track sounds a bit fizzy. Prefer the snare sounds in the other 2 tracks. 
✌️

Thank you mate! Yes it’s been a learning curve and I’ve been tweaking things each time we record.  Hoping to get the sound dialled by the time we’ve got everything down then I’ll go back and remix everything 😅

 

Which one sounds fizzy?

 

Thanks for your time

It sounds great and I don’t mind a bit of doom! 
I thought the snare on BraveStarrr wasn’t the best and preferred the snare sound in the other 2 songs. Can’t remember exactly but felt like it had a tambourine ( or something in that frequency )  layered under it. 
The other snares just sounded more convincing. ✌️

 Great work

A doom band not influenced by Candlemass? 😱

Apologies MacDaddy missed your reply, glad you liked it!  
 

New one done, completely overhauled drums hope they’re going in the right direction.

Sounds cool! I really like the track!

I'd say that maybe there's perhaps too much energy in the kick. I can hear it's really whomping my ears in my headphones. Perhaps try dialling back the bass emphasis on it a bit and add a bit of saturation. That gives it a bit of grit to still cut through, but you don't need the level quite so high which might also give you more headroom to make the track louder overall.
