this was the first band i ever recorded.
let me know your thoughts! I'm hoping there isn't anything that sticks out as bad, because the band comes by tonight to pick up the master from me.

I think the guitars sound too "metal"

 

[Mesa4x12er]

The guitars do sound metal but sounds really good to me anyway. They'll definately have stronger sounding guitars than others in this genre. Production sounds really good to me.

What did you use for your recording chain btw?

Great job on vocals as well. Don't like the guys voice at all but you did a great job capturing it.

yeah everyone in this band use to be in a metal or hardcore band(one of the guys is ex mychildren mybride), so they were going for the "heavier" guitar tone. If it were up to me i would have like to use an orange amp and cab or something similar.

Recording chain for guitar was Fender telecaster with emg's (lol)=>Maxon OD9=>5150II(with andy sneap settings)=>Bogner Uberkab=>sm57=>Digi 003 rack+ pre.
Vocal Chain was AT3035(awesome for the money)=>Digi 003 rack+ pre=>Melodyne=>Gate=>Compressor/de esser with -30 thresh, .1 attack, 50 release, auto makeup

Not a huge fan of the snare, but I really dig this type of music, as gay as I feel to admit it! Hope to hear more from these guys!
