Hey guys, my band did a cover of the song heartwork by the band carcass off their legendary album, Heartwork. All kemper, 4 rhythm tracks, bass is kemper as well. I did not mix this, and my singer for sure does not claim to be an expert, so go easy. It was fun to do at the very least. Also, audio was rendered in 44.1 as well as like 8kb, so sound quality MAY not be up to par through reverbnation (reverbnation requires this ). Please pay no attention to the other tracks on reverbnation, as they are horrible and before I joined the band, from many years ago, and was not part of my contribution, completely different band actually then.
Feel free to give any advice. We are all pretty new to all of this, and come from various backgrounds/sound preferences (in this band). So mixing is kind of a challenge, especially given what we have to work with. There is no special plug ins or "expensive" type of equipment to enhance the sound of this really (Kemper being the most expensive haha). So basically, this was the best we could do with real drums, maybe not the best mics, some sampling, Presonus firewire mic preamp, the Kemper, and some Chris Lord Alge compression/EQ plugins for the drums and bass. Might start investing in some decent plugins (slate tape simulator, distressor for saturation, neve style plugins, SSL channel strip simulation etc) and see how much better we could do with our mixes. What a pain in the ass, because 6 months from now, our mixes will probably be lightyears better than this one, and we will always constantly want to re do everything! Anyways, any feedback is always appreciated.
As far as Profiles: I believe 2 were Lasse Lammert's "old school tampa death" profile, cabinet is a mesa oversized 4x12 from a 5150 profile done for me. 2 more tracks are one of the tonesides 6505's from their "metal pack" along with the same cabinet. Bass is a DI profile of my bass players Eden head.

I can't right this second however, as I do not have them on my computer, I will email my singer who has them all and have them send me them over in a zip file for you guys. Actually that would be really great, I would love to hear what some of you guys could do with this as well
