hey there, this is the first time i've posted something in the RMM section for fear of being totally destroyed, so i hope these DIs are okay? would be cool to have some feedback on them even if you aren't interested in doing some reamping:dopey:

here are the guitars in the mix, using logic's amp sim and s-preshigh

without click

and here are the 2 DI tracks, included in the .zip file is tempo info (205bpm throughout) and a backing track with the metronome, drums and bass.

as for tone, go nuts. providing anyone actually wants to give it a go i'd leave you 100% free to choose what to do with the guitar sound. anything sounds better than my attempts with the logic amp sim or my podxt.

take it easy!:p
 
you left the click on in the backing track also. can you just up an mp3 of the backing track, that click is fuckin annoying
 
Here's mine, I don't think it's that great or anything but it was fun doing this :) Used TSE 808, LeCto and LeCab (s-preshigh and some impulse by Guitarhack).

I edited the first riff (well... the left side anyway :D) and some of the breakdown. I think there's some phasing issues (probably my fault) there at the beginning that I couldn't fix.

Lots of EQ and saturation on the guitars. Don't really know what I'm doing but I think it sounds better with them than without :D

The whole songs needs a lot of editing (and I'm not bored enough for that :p). Did you record this in one take? If so, I suggest you start recording a section at a time. That way you'll get much tighter playing. After that, just slip edit everything to grid. I do that and get tight guitars although my playing kinda sucks :D

(Oh, and I "mastered" it to hell with Slate FG-X.)

Edit: I think I fixed the phasing issue (copied the same part from another place, that fixed it). Same link. Also, the drums seem to have at least one fill that is louder than the rest of the drumparts? You should look into that.

Oh, and forgot to mention, it's done completely on headphones so it might sound terrible on monitors =/
