I will say the snare sounds a little loud for sure. Overall the drums decay to quickly for my taste against the rest of the music. A light touch of room reverb (I think anyway) would really settle the mix into something more refined. It sounds great nonetheless, but i think turning down drums...

I think the click is fine. Nice balance against the bass guitar on a klipsch pc 2.1 speaker system anyway. I think a lower gain on the rhythm guitars would blend better with the tone of the bass since the rhythm isn't that aggressive. I'm still experimented with a sound like that, so I can't...

First, UAD has pretty much stated that it has no intent to support thunderbolt on Windows machine, so this interface is will always be OS X only. My preamble since I don't have a Kemper) -- I have my Twin Solo hooked up to my iMac 2011 with a 1TB SSD in there and its shitty 4 core cpu. I...

Your's does have a much sharper attack, but the DI you didn't do sounds like the strings are really old. I would compare different DIs and pre-eq to create a similar sound. Overall, I don't think its much of an issue if the DI recordings are cleanly done.

I haven't used your IR yet (still using catharsis mixed with whatever), but I love the products of other peoples hard work. From what I hear, these kick the shit out of Ola's shitty cabs. Thank you.

Just curious, but has anyone else used supercharger from native instruments. I sometimes like its saturation over IK's Classic Clipper on snare and toms. Haven't found much use for it beyond those instruments.

I think the UX2 from line 6 is decent enough, but a pre amp is quite helpful with certain instruments like bass. Pod Studios Amp Sims are decent, but their cab sims are just awful. Same with Amplitube. Cab simulation is were all your tone and character is at. The effects from pod studio are...

Their Quad Imagine is great for expanding drum room mics. I leave the OH mic alone in Superior to keep their hit sounds in a definite location, but tweaking room with QI really fills out the separation for a fuller sound. Quad Comp is pretty much Wave's C-4. If you haven't used C-4, it is a...

I wouldn't mix with headphones if you can avoid it. Decent studio monitors and good pc speakers, home theater, or car stereo are your best bet from my experience.

This video gave me a pretty good start

I've never been able to get anything great sounding out of my own recordings/mixes with EZMix, but one of my mix practice songs from the forums I did entirely with EZMix. This one I did with Andy Sneap pack and Metal Amps pack combined. Your recordings have to be pretty perfect for them to...

Quite a few factors come into play with guitar tone. For starters, I agree I hate EQ-ing so I would approach your tone with at least two cab simulations for your rhythm tracks. The thickness of your pick plays a huge part as well does as your pickup for the entire tone. Thicker picks have a...

It really sounds sick, but I get bored of constant mono coevals. Stereo technique used in Chimaira's Power Trip adds a lot the the mix I find just bad ass. Sick song nonetheless.

Literal spectrum analysis doesn't always show overbearing audible detection. It depends on the medium response. My mixing headphones, mixing monitors, my home theater, my gaming pc speakers, my car stereo don't respond the same. Challenge your mix against some of them if you feel uncertain...

I would only use multi band compressors on busses individually that you know sound overbearing in a mix. If the overbearing sound is consistent, I would look at a different approach EQing certain problem HZ on identified tracks.
