Sup guys and gals!

I'd like to present to everyone a little something I've been messing around with. This is a track I wrote and recorded about a year ago for my old band's EP. Re-recorded it and added a TON of parts and layers. This song's pretty much filled with all kinds of things, almost making it atonal at parts because it's so layered. However, this is where it makes a good challenge. I know these forums hold A LOT of great mixers so I'm really curious to hear your guys ideas and interpretations of this song!


Here's a quick mixdown sample of the chorus section to give you an idea for how the song sounds:

Drum Tracks Raw

A few things to note with the tracks:
-The Vocals are in the FX + Percussion folder
-For some reason there's a .sfk file for all the tracks, just ignore them. Probably just delete them for sake of clutter.
-You could also rename the tracks for just their names considering they got exported with "Track 02" or whatever in their names.


Just a FYI: I know it'll probably sound extremely cluttered in parts of the song with all the parts going on, but that's the challenge of this track is making everything fit and stick out to be one cohesive crushing unit. Thought I'd have some fun with giving everyone this considering there's not that many tracks out there with a ton of stuff going on to mix. Good luck! :headbang:
 
can you post a sample of the mix that way we can hear what the song is like?
i do not feel like downloading something without knowing what it is.
 
Cant download it without being a premium member because its more than 1GB :/

I'm splitting the files apart so it can be downloaded.
For those who want the drum tracks and don't have a proper Drum VST, the recorded drums will be in a seperate .zip for download if needed.
 
Wanna try uploading it on dropbox or something instead ?
Megaupload seems like a horrible host, trying to download and it says it will take about 11 hours :erk:
