Here's a mix I'm working on at the moment:

What do you think? It's the first album of these guys. I've been doing this project for almost two months now, so I'm losing my perspective

Edit: I had to remove the original link, but they have a teaser of the whole album at their MySpace:

The Slate drums sounds awesome!! cant wait until i get my DVD , How long did you have ot wait for the dvd to arrive?
cool mix by the way. rock n roll

 

[trym^^]

drums are cool, guitars could use some more beef,
those little leads (not the solos) are a bit too loud.
good mix nevertheless!

 

[Psych05]

I second that, the lead that is running together with the vocals is a bit disturbing. It's getting in the way of the lead vocal.
Other than that: Great mix!

 

[Daunt]

Thanks a lot! Alright, I fixed the leads (I think?) and added some more sub-bass to the mix. Does it sound right to you?

those drums seriously gave me a maiden vibe! And then Blaze came in on vocals! I DIG

 

[felipe-x]

wow sounds awesome!! its like a more rocker version of hammerfall haha

are those real drums trigged with slate? or midi drums??

 

[Daunt]

Real drums with almost zero editing. Thanks!

did you mix samples of slate with your drums or did you replace everything 100%??

I blended the samples with the original tracks. Something like 60/40 on the snare. Kick is not 100% sample either. I have made some mixes using Slate Drums 100% replaced and it sounded great too.

everything is great except the guitars. Love the drums.
