    Hi, fellas! Here you have my entry to the contest.

    It was done quite quickly because I´m a bit busy these days, but I hope you enjoy it. I tried to keep it organic, but I added some subtle samples (natural ones, not too processed) and aligned some of the backing vocals, which were a bit out of sync for my tastes, besides cleaning the stops and adding some panning and delay arrangementes.

    I hope you like it! Good luck to all of you.

    Maybe the snare has a bit too much compression? Maybe it could pop out a bit more.

    Great job. Cheers!

    Thanks a lot, AFoolishSeb! Glad you liked the way it sounds.

    Serge, thanks! Glad you liked the drums. I tried to blend the original ones with samples that matched and didn´t sound too overprocessed, but added some “modern” flavour to it.

    FlorianPiet, thanks, man! Same here, I tried to work on the original ones, cleaning and processing them and added some cool MIDI toms but I edited all the fills (snare and toms) so that it sounded close to the original one.

    Kampa, thanks too! Yeah, man, I didn´t have much time (began mixing yesterday because I was too busy and almost had to skip the contest) and maybe I could have tried to make it sound a bit less compressed (not sure if the problem is on the real or the sampled one).

    Thanks again to all of you. Cheers and good luck!

    Thanks a lot again for all your comments!

    Eduloko, glad you think that! I tried to make it sound tight but natural at the same time.

    Alexey, thanks!!

    Dom, glad you liked it. I dialed the bass tone with the Neural DSP Darkglass plugin, great sounding one.

    Nice mix! Sounds really good. Only knit pick would be the snare gets lost at times. other than that well done. If you got a minute to spare check out my mix here, always looking for feedback.

    Thank you so much for the feedback again!

    Shaun, yeah. I made a mix between the original one and the sample so it was a bit more dynamic, as the original has some hits that are quite low and others that are quite loud. Maybe I should have leveled it a bit more, you´re right. I will check your mix right now.

    Carl, thanks, man! Glad you liked it in general and that you dig the effects.

    Nice mix, gnarly bass, very clean drum shells !

    2 things that bug me though :
    – there seem to be a lot of dirty distorted low end and low mids in the overall mix, and a bit of lack of high end definition
    – the mix seems very compressed and/or pumping

    I also agree that the snare gets lost a bit sometimes.

    Great job. Toms sound big, bass is clear but still aggressive. I like it.
