good mix, but the drums dont sound natural in anyway. more like a machine gun.
sounds like sequenced drums

^ +1 to that.
So Gareth - can you explain your bass technique a little more. Did you take the DI and simply copy it to 3 other tracks, and EQ / Compress / add effects to each one individually? Pretty interested because this is one of the better bass tones I've heard recently.
Can you share more detail? This was really fucking awesome man!

Never saw this yesterday!
Gareth man, vox as usual sound sick, you sound like some massive 250lb Ukranian bodybuilder hitting the weights with those gutterals. And of course I mean that in the nicest possible way!
Mix is sick too, drums don't sound that real as aforementioned, but fuck it, it fits.

hokay, bass
so what i did this time was split it into 4 distinct tracks
subbass
midbass
twang/clank
distortion
the subbass and midbass tracks were eq'd and compressed, no cab simulation on these
sub-bass was low-passed reaaally fucking low, just trying to get subby rumble and nothing else, compressed the living fuck out of it so it was literally dynamicless then moved onto the midbass track
midbass i wanted to be a bit more dynamic, so less compression, and i high passed it as well, so that track was centered around 100-250hz or so.
twang track was uhh... i think either TSS with the drive turned up a bit or TSS->7170 with really really low gain, like 1 or 2 on the gain knob.
then if i remember rightly i used ryans fredman impulses on that
plus a high-pass of course
for the distortion track it was 7170 with a fair amount of gain, like 4 or 5 on the gain knob, high pass, a bit of eq.
sent all of them to a group track, added big fuckoff 1khz boost to bring out the growl (which id never usually do but it worked here) and a boost around 4-5khz as well if i remember rightly, plus a little boost between 60hz-120hz.
finally a little bit of compression to glue it all together.
cheers for the compliments guys
re-reamped version with gits done by greg are coming soon and ermz may well end up doing a quick master of this through the CLA compressor demos

high-passed fairly high. ive been really thinning out my guitar tracks recently to make more room for epic fucking bass tones. i do tend to dial in a lot of bass with my guitar tones though to make up for the high-passing.

Fuck, you must do vox for me one day if I never get around to learning how to growl.
Sounds absolutely wicked bro.

HEY! That's cool as fukc!! Great vocals BTW!
Upload your clean tracks and make a "Mix/Mastering" contest (with explanations of the mix and the mastering)!! It could be fun and very instructive!
