mixing practice : bloodbath - ways to the grave ( real drums )

[CannibalBarnes]

Hi , i've decided to record a complete cover of bloodbath in my home studio and give you the tracks for mixing practice. The song is not full but really good to mix. The zip file contains :

Midi kick and toms
Overheads L & R
Snare Up and bottom
Bass DI
Rithm and lead guitars DI
Vocals



I've made a clip of the record. You can see the clip at :

I hope that you will enjoy to mix this music

Great choice! really cool vid too

 

[Grå Värld]

Seriously excellent cover and video mate. Well done !!!
Am interested in your amp settings as the Boss HM-2 settings in the video are different from the usual all to 11 settings.
Also what mics did you use for recording the guitars?
How did you process the bass also

 

[CannibalBarnes]

Thanks guys!!

My amp settings for this record are : in OD2 on the vs100 : Gain at 5´ (full) , Contour at 8' , Bass at 5' , Middle at 12' and Treble at 12
For the HM2 : Level at 12' , Color mix L at 9' , Color mix H at 1' and Dist at 7' but i think i should have put more dist for the bloodbath sound!!

The mic is just one 57 off axis and off center

The bass is The ampeg plugin with the preset distorted bass

I hope I helped you

Cheers,

do you have any chance to upload an tempotrack or notes. its really hard with the miditrack to fit in otherwise.

 

[CannibalBarnes]

Of course my friend you can find the tempo file here : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eova5bk01gjtxm9/F9DkIauklD
