Hey guys. I know I havent posted here much (I plan to change that!), but if you guys could listen and critque my tone i'd be much obliged. This is the first one i've actually put some time into and really wanted a good result. I think it came out pretty good but still not perfect.
My setup is Schecter c1 xxx guitar - ubermetal distortion pedal(acting as a TS to tighten up the sound)- Mesa F50 combo - Boss GE7 - dual 57's (fredman technique) - Firebox - Cubse SX3. I recorded two separate takes panned 85 left and right and then another take with a differnt tone a variation on the riffs. Then copied and pasted it and panned hard left and right. All the takes had a DI'ed track going in too which I didnt end up using the way I intended(which was to add amp sim tracks). I just mixed the clean DI really low in the mix for more articulation.
I used EZ drummer with the DFH add on for the drums. I replaced the kick and snare though(well actually blended the DFH ones in slightly, just used the overheads and room mics). The kick was andy sneaps and the snare was andy sneap's with a couple others mixed in. I used the c4 on guitars and did the standard hi pass(60hz) and low pass(12k). I did some other eqing as well in the lows and low mids. I used the L3 over the whole mix.
That's about it. The playing isn't the tightest I know. I just kept the first takes. I was a little pressed for time. I also havent added in bass yet. I will the second time around after following whatever advice you give. Thanks guys!

p.s. Sorry for the rapid share link. I tried lightningmp3 and gavins uploud page and both didn't work! Lightningmp3 never had given me issues before. It was the first time i've tried gavins though. It said invalid email address the first time and another time it said invalid upload. I made sure both were correct though!..
