Totally not accusing you of anything, but quite a few people that I've heard of that have torrented it get this problem!

Oh man. First off, I definitely agree about the constant chugging throughout the breakdown. If you're THAT set on keeping it in there, maybe change it to an open and slowly bend the note up and then back down. Secondly, it sounds like the actual rhythm in the breakdown is quite off...is...

Hey guys! So this is an instrumental for my new band. Just wanted some opinions on it! Haven't finished writing/tracking vocals yet so no vocals yet! Also, I don't have a real dirty/clanky bass tone primarily because I want the bass mixed only to support the guitars. Anyways, let me know what...

Eh they were hardly a band anymore anyways. Wetzel was the old original member still in it.

Especially since the bassist follows all the guitars, there's never really a part in their songs where it's ONLY bass

See I was trying to avoid the gritty, overly distorted bass tones people use nowadays. With this bass tone, I'm going more for an older Joey bass time (WCAR's Dreams EP), which is primarily there to enhance the guitar tone, not really meant to stand out. I mean to each their own, I suppose!:p

This reminds me of this time that I recorded this terrible high school band. The drummer was incredible and we got some awesome drum tracks. When it came to guitars, I was getting the whole DI set up ready (pod farm/impulses, etc.) and the kid was like "I REALLY want to mic my amp, can we do...

Uhhh yeah. Joey's awesome at what he does, why should he charge any less?

Sounds good! But that kick sounds like a woodpecker beating on a hollow tree...

A couple note about the mix: • There's nothing on the master chain, YET. I can't decide if I wanna do it or if I wanna send it to Joey. • I got into the habit of adding TOO many samples together (we're talking like 6 snares) so I went back and found myself using: Kick: Kick 10 mixed...

Holy robosnare...

I agree about the snare, maybe try some different samples/changing up the velocities a bit. Also the drum parts kinda just sound like the drummer is bangin' on random stuff instead of actually trying to create a beat/backing for the guitar. I dig the riffs though! Thicker strings will definitely...
