My sister came in and recorded a song as my birthday present to her. We spent about 3 days when everything was said and done. I did all the music, my sis wrote the (general) guitar part and lyrics, as well as recorded the vocals.

All guitars are Orange Rockerverb 100 through a mesa cab, bass is fender jazz through sansamp. Vocals are an AT4040 through my API A2d. Drums are completely different than my normal setup. The only slate i use were on the toms. Everything else are samples i made myself. I tracked with triggers, then used drumagog to replace the triggers with the samples.
Let me know how the overall sound is. My biggest problem in the past has been my rock stuff sounding "too metal". I tried to completely change the way i approached everything so it would better fit this genre. This isn't exactly my comfort zone when it comes to mixing
Edit:More bass, less bright mix(i took the harmonic exciter and high shelf off completely), took some crack out of the snare, and the kick is less clicky because of the lack of high end on the master bus. I also toned down the de esser on the vox a good bit. Vocals up 1.3db as well
