Its quite safe to say that this is my first serious go at mixing an mastering a song. The song (currently called Deathdrive) settles somewhere between Parkway Drive and Killswitch Engage.
The four guitars are coming out of my ESP Ninja-600 tuned to drop-B (one hell of a guitar), then thru my Native Instruments Session I/O Interface into Revalver, where they have been routed into both a PEAVEY 6505 and MESA Triple Rectifier modules (one on each side) which then utilitze Recabinet (the shit) impulses using the Revalver onboard impulse file loader (two impulses blended).
The Bass basically goes the same way except I used the clean channel of the 6505 module
, and has some issues because I sometimes tend to think iam Alex Webster and then srew up horribly trying to play my parts
The Drums are Superior 2.0 using "The Metal Foundry", the MIDI's are just what I found, sometimes completely redone, modified or just left as they where.
I actually programmed the fills myself.
The song idea was basically just the starting riff that had come out spontaneously, the rest was written "on the fly" during recording.
The mix (REAPER) makes hard use of the Trident A RangeD, so awesome), and some PSP plugins aswell as some Cockos Plugins (ReEQ and stuff).
I recorded/wrote the song in around 90 minutes although I forced myself to play everything quite clean.
Mixing was like two hours after that and an hour the next day.
I really look forward to what you guys think about it and how you would improve it.
My main concern right now is the overall look of the waveform, it looks as if I was Rick Rubin although it sounds ok to me.

/ Oh guys, the song is in DESPERATE need of vocals ... if you know anyone willing to write some lyrics and growl/scream/sing over it that would be kickass.
I'd upload it on YT when it was finished and give credit to the person.
/ Oh yes, that wierd sound in the beginning is a ring modulator, I guess no one ever used one of these on a guitar
