sounds very 'ITB'... it seems to be missing some impact and density from the drums... also, the live drums have a few slightly sloppy moments in terms of the playing, so i feel like a bigger, maybe more blown out sound could possibly help them sit in the mix and give it some energy....

the vocals and treatments are cool, but there is just a lack of depth and aggression to the sound that would make the dancey elements work better with the live elements. nothing is really making a statement sonically, but all the basic elements are there... something just needs to pop out and kick you in the balls...

thanks!

yeah, its mostly ITB - drums are run out through UA pre into a dbx 165. drums are also just 2 mono mics, so maybe i'll play around with some slap delays or bouncy verbs to get some life going.
