D20 - A track from my band's EP i'm recording (Axe Fx, S2.0)

[D20]

I've been busy lately recording my band's (The Icarus Effect) EP and just finished up a track. I wanted to post the instrumental version of it here to see what you guys thought of how everything is sounding so far. Guitars are my Axe Fx Ultra using Recto and 5150 models. Bass is a few tracks. 1 axe fx, 1 direct, and 1 sansamp. Drums are S2.0 Avatar kit with a kick from Metal Foundry. Let me know what you guys think of how its sounding so far?

[kernelxsanders]

+1 on the bass guitar. but the mix seems to lacking a weeeeee bit of life, like it needs just a tad more low end. other than that, its superb!

Many thanks! I would, but all mix everything after i bounce the drums. I can tell you i used the coated head toms, Nir Z snare, 13" hats, two 18" AA and HHX cymbals i think, and a kick from the Metal Foundry.

Cool thanks for the input!!!!
I always have a hard time with trying to figure out what the right amount of low end is. Its probably the hardest thing to get right when it comes to mixing for me.

Yeah vocals are coming soon. Our singer is out of town at the moment, but when he gets back we are going to tracks his parts.

I forgot to mention that on one of the rhythm tracks i used my guitarist's PRS custom 22. Sorry about that.

Sounds great, i find the guitars lack bottom end though. Bass intro sounds great but when the guitars kick in, it doesn't provide that punch for me. The sub emphasizes the lack of bottom end.

Just fill the space between the guitars and bass n' you'll be there!

Cool! Thanks man!!!

sounds pretty good man, but personally I think the low end of the bass needs to come up some more, probably some more compression on it too. The high end of the bass is killer though, I like everything else

Cool man thanks!!! I'm not sure if its my room that i record in, but it always sounds a bit boomy which causes me to bring the low end down.

Thanks for the input bro!!!

 

[storming heaven]

I'm loving the track and the groove.

I know what you mean, it's always hard to have a good amount of controlled low end without making a muddy mess

Indeed. I hope someday I'll get it right.
