Feared Mixing Competition 2013

Wow, thanks man. I'm touched!

Well, it's a modded 5150 green channel (bias mode, so I can tune it to my liking depending on the poweramp tubes), re-wired Mesa Cab with AKG C414 and Shure SM57 in front of it. Oh yes, I used a modded (:lol:) Maxon OD-9 as a screamer. It has a different Op-amp in it. All these mods are not the game changers separately, but together they make things so much easier to work with.
Snare is 50 percent live, blended with my custom samples - some for smash, some for punch.
Toms are live. I must say that both toms and snare were performed and mic'd up really well! It was easy to make them cut through.
Kick is re-sampled.

Nothing too crazy with the mix itself. Some SSL Comp on a masterbus, Gclip for "mastering". I use lots of parallel compression, but I do it gently. Also, Slate VTM and VCC occasionally.
Looks like you like modded gear :p
Anyway, thanks a lot for the details !
I personnaly won't have the time to mix that thing, but your mix is still the one I prefer, followed closely by Behindert's one.
Again, great job !

Thanks man!
I wish I could just use what I buy without modding, but it often happens so that older things may benefit from some tweaking or simple routine maintenance. Never touching the new stuff though(not until it ages lol).
 
here's my mix nothing special
