Hello B.D., and welcome to the forum! I think you've got a nice sound here. Although our types of music are quite different I also consistently mix the drums with not enough volume. The folks here have been very helpful while I've been trying to learn mixing, something I'm very new at.
Hi Brad, thank you for the nice welcome and advice, I appreciated this a lot.
Mixing in general is not a problem for me, I had a little studio and have mixed and mastered songs for local bands.
But when I sold my house and moved back to Germany the studio was part of the deal, and so far I didn't find the time to build a new studio.
And when you mix in an untreated room it's very hard to judge drums (and the low-end in general) of a mix, it's a hit and miss sometimes.
[...]I hope that you also critique others music on here, sounds like you would have a lot to offer. Welcome, I think you'll enjoy it.
I did already
There are a lot of genres here where I don't feel at home, but when I think that I've understood a song I try to write something constructive.
Or just write that I like it...
