I would first like to thank everyone on these forums for making the Sneap Forums (IMO) the most valuable resource online for recording information. I wouldn't know a compressor from an amp sim if it weren't for this place haha.
Since my Dropbox is being buggy and the player here is actually pretty decent, I'll just post my band's reverbnation link:
www.reverbnation.com/silentline
It's been a long time coming since we decided to do it completely on our own (mostly because we had no fucking idea how much work is truly involved), and thought it would be quicker... lawl. And everything was basically done in my basement with no acoustic treatment unfortunately.
On the bright side, I'm really glad we did. I know it isn't the greatest mix around, and I'm almost embarrassed to post it on the forums beside these awesome mixes that many people here have produced, but it represents my growth in knowledge throughout a year (I honestly didn't know shit-all) and I am proud of it.
In case anyone is wondering what I used on my nooby mix:
Drums- OHs all natural, snare and kick are ours lightly blended with others, toms had to be completely replaced though.
Guitars-
Rhythms are Schecter Hellraiser /w EMG81 -> Maxon OD808 -> 5150 -> Marshall 1960A -> Single Shure SM57
Leads are through an LTD Alexi600 /w Blackouts, same signal chain with a few EQ modifications.
Bass- LTD F series 5 string, 4 channels, one take. Split the signal as per usual for different compression. One channel is a miced Peavey VB-2 with Ampeg cab, and one highpassed and amp sim'd for extra slime.
Vocals were nothing special, Shure58.
Drums were brutal to record at my drummer's house. He likes to party and on several occasions some asshat came in and actually took down one of the OH mics to use the stand for fucking Rockband -_- The joys.
Anyway, I hope that you at least enjoy the songs if not the mix. Thanks a lot to all who took the time to look at this.
