Edit: I re uploaded the raw tracks, same link.
Raw Tracks: http://goo.gl/mjfsd
Mirror: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3348188/You Die I Cry Raw Wavs w_synth.zip
Tempo is 160bpm
My friend Michael (played all the guitars) and I were recording some stuff for one of my classes when It dawned on us that we could have fun writing ridiculous songs, since between the two of us we could effectively play/write all the parts. We decided it’d be fun to write the most stereotypical, whiny metalcore song we could muster, and this is the result.
At first it was just for fun, but then I though about how people would probably enjoy mixing the tracks themselves. Long story short, I made tutorials on how I mixed it and am letting anyone give it a shot.
In the future, we plan on doing more generic stereotypes of each metal genre, both to promote myself as an engineer, and to give back to the music community via mixing practice and fun songs. I’ll make tutorials for each one to show how the mix techniques change from genre to genre and song to song depending on equipment, arrangement etc.
Recording Notes:
All DIs were recorded straight into my True Precision 8 Preamp using the Hi-z inputs —> Avid HD I/O 32bit floating point 44.1khz
Guitar was recorded with an Ibanez RG series, with an EMG 81 in the bridge.
Bass was an Ibanez BTB series 5 string.
Drum were all SSD4 Midi with the following instrumentation: Kick 10, Snare 11, Quik Toms 1-4 (More details in the tutorials)
I used Lecto for the amp sim and LeCab with Kaltallens IRs as the cab impulse.

Vox were recorded with a Beta 57 into a MobilePre Interface. Recorded In Micheal’s bedroom. For the next songs we’re going to be using a slightly better signal chain than that
Main Vox – Michael Markie
Bgs – Chris Lucas, David Neyland, Colin Ring (Death Vox)
Tutorials:
Have fun! Go nuts!
Next in line is a tech death song
