First let me say that I've lurked on this board for a long time now and have learned a lot from some very talented people here. I've also become aware of Mr. Sneap's work (and his work on albums I already loved) and I'm really impressed, especially with his attention to making entire mixes sound great without sacrificing the tones of the individual instruments.
I've held off posting anything here because 1.) I haven't felt that I had anything really worth-while to contribute. I'm not an aspiring engineer or producer and my mixing skills are amature at best, and 2.) I don't really play 100% metal like I figured people would expect to hear on a forum hosted by UltimateMetal.com.
I do so now because I think I may have something that many of you haven't done or heard. I've attempted to write a (mostly) metal tune using my recently-acquired '63 Gibson SG Junior. The guitar is just a mahogany slab with the original single dog-ear P-90 in the bridge position. Nothing special, just old, worn-in, and a lot of fun to play. I know my mix is pretty raw and there are probably flaws in it that I can't even hear, but I would appreciate your thoughts on the sound of the guitar tones and song. Consider this my "hello, I'm Adam, nice to meet you all."
Demo form, recorded at home with a PODxt for use in my band: The Fear
Edit: note that my band isn't called The Fear - that's just the cheesy working title for the track. The band is called istari.
