I'm currently rendering everything to have our EP ready to go for when we send them off to reamp.

In the meantime, I thought I'd give back to this forum with one of our songs for you all to mix:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3689406/Acacia REAMP FILES.rar

Everything's already edited and includes: left and right rhythms, leads, bass, backing drums, and midi drums with tempo map.

No, it's not called Acacia, that was just a place holder because the intro sounds like an Acacia Strain song would lol.

Quick reference mix: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3689406/Acacia Sucks (Demo).mp3

Enjoy!
 
Alright guys, I don't know what took so long, but it's ready to download and I added my quick reference mix for anyone to crit!

In the middle of re amping an 11 song album so I thought I would take a break and do this.
Nice track. I would love to get the vocals when they are ready.

Here's my try:

for this genre, it's my best mix so far, i didn't like the guitar though, the problem it's in the guitar itself, it looks like it has been recorded with the neck PU, and i find that tone to be nasty

Drums were the best for me, I grabbed the drum wav file and compressed as hell then blended with my EZ drummer configuration, and it sounds a LOT more alive
