AtNos - Orion Lut / Virtue [Dark, Datsik style & Fusion]

[Atnos]

Hey guys. Finished these two tunes the past week. Would love to get some criticism on them. Both are free downloads, so get em if ya like em!

Orion Lut is a beast! Love the little percussive pieces!

Virtue, the drums need some work, they seem very faint, and set in the background. My guess is your sub is overpowering them slightly.

Will be grabbing the 1st one for sure

Thanks a lot, man! I really feel what you mean on the Virtue track. Any advice you could offer toward a more clear mixdown?

[Dimenzion-x]

Id work on beefing the drums up. Maybe some subtle compression on the channel, slight saturation on the snares / overdrive on the kick (Keep it minimal tho, too much of either and you'll lose dynamics of the drums and they'll start farting like a fat kid on brussel sprouts!)

Maybe some real subtle sidechaining of the bass too.

Hahaha fat kid on brussel sprouts

Great! Thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably dive back into the mix this evening and see if I can open it up a bit more.
