Metallica Load-Reload type of sound

[Teddyboy]

Hi guys!! I haven't post any clip for a long time.. Nowadays I was listening to Load and Reload for production purposes,since I'm going to record a couple of songs with that kind of metal-rock vibe. So this is my first try of capturing that tone. Any opinions-criticism needed!!!

I just love Metallica's Load/Reload era.

Drums need more room/air/ambience?
Guitars are close. Have you tried quad tracking them?

sounds good man details guitars??

i love the load/reload sound!

guitars sound a little bit too deep, bass is missing,
or maybe my ears are fucked...
drums, they need more room and "dirt", sounds too clean.

all in all it's a really good try that neeed a little bit more tweaking!

cheers

Thnx for listening guys! I know it's not perfect (how could that happen anyway? haha!!), but I'm trying to get things better each time. Details now..

Lekteri: Guitars are quad tracked

Zakky: Guitar chain: Gibson Explorer (stock Gibson pickups,gasing for Emg)->Peavey 6505+->Palmer PDI-03 (Deep and Normal settings)->Lexicon Lambda.
Post process: CurveEq (with curve I captured from the bridge section of Bleeding me) and HP-LP.

Soultrash: Unfortunately no bass here (gasing for one too..). What do you suggest for the guitars? Do they sound too bassy or too mid-scooped?

Lekteri & Soultrash: You're absolutely right about drums. They were slightly processed. I tweaked them a bit more,so here's an updated version...

Is it getting better? Any advice for further tweak on guitars and drums?
If anyone wants the 6505+ settings,let me know and I will post them tomorrow.
Cheers guys!

you could try a little bit more gain and a little less bass on the guitars!
no clue what you could do with the drums, sorry.

cheers

So,here's another one with less bass on the guitars as Soultrash suggested and much more tweaking on the drums. Again no bass,but hopefully I'll record one in a few days.

guitar sounds much better now!
the bassdrum needs to sound much deeper, the snare needs to be tuned higher.
