Any opinions from 3rd party ears? :zombie:

Quadtracked LeGion on rhythm guitars, DSS3 Mesa 4x12 AT3035 Pres8 on 100% L/R guitars, and Mesa 4x12 SM57 Pres8 on 75% L/R guitars
Le456 on lead guitar, some Marshall 1960 G12T-75 impulse on it
Bass is my shot without Ampeg SVX, for once Split signal, <350 Hz clean, >500 Hz very very dirty (three different distortions etc )
Drums from SD2.0, kick sample is Atreyu kick
Synths from a variety of plugins (Nexus, z3ta+, and some others)

That snare drum is killing it man, clipping like a mofo

You always hear people talking about "machine gun" effect, but... gawwleee

Pretty decent mix. Guitars sound pretty good. I'd just do something about that snare on the blasts. A little automation will go a long ways.

The snare is already GClipped and distortioned (with a plugin ), it's actually peaking much lower than even the guitars

 

[allplaydead]

Why are you distorting the snare? It would probably sound ten time better without it.

 

[Torniojaws]

I like the sound Without it, it sounds too familiar and slightly boxy. It's unfortunate the snare selection in SD2.0 is not that large (sound-wise). Throw in a Tama Starclassic, Toontrack!

SD2 snares lack beef and testicles, right... But meh... Distortion is too much :/

Cool tune!
Agree with the snare, maybe try to layer a fat organic snare with a samples of a groove box like a 808 snare or whatever you want, to get a different/chemical vibe. It'll maybe fit with the indus side but would be fatter. Maybe sidechaine the synth pad at the end with one muted kick at the beginning of the chords to make them rising, to create some movement in the pad. Instant electro vibes! just give it a try.

The problem with triggering the snare is that I have a lot of mid-velocity rolls and ghost notes in most of the songs, so the trigger simply doesn't work properly most of the time Maybe I just haven't found a way to trigger in a velocity-aware manner using Aptrigga. Plus, I would need those lower velocity trigger samples, too

Snare is too loud! +Rhythm guitars are too quiet

This fact, drives me crazy too. Anyone that has a super idea on how to go about this?
