My SECOND attempt at micing up a 5150 (fail?)

threw this together really quick just to try out the "adam d" micing technique. guitars are quad tracked. for the heck of it, 2 on the green channel, 2 on the red. guitars highpassed, lowpassed, and notched at 550hz and 6500hz. for the drums, I decided NOT to use Slate drums just for the heck of it. I programmed with EZD and replaced the kick and snare. (I'm also curious what you guys think of the snare. it's the first time I've ever sampled my own snare) keep in mind this is only the second time I have really tried to mic up a cab. what do you guys think?

Edit: Updated. played with eqing a bit more as well.

Guitars sound pretty good but they're too loud.

thanks man. why is it every time I double/quadruple track guitars I get that weird midrangy cardboard tone....? is it just because I suck at eqing guitars? it doesn't get that weird tone when I solo a track... like I have said before. I am indeed a complete n00b at this. up until now, I've always just gone with POD Farm.

Guitar tone is nice...I don't know if you upped the guitars so they are more audible, but the drums are practically unheard, so it's hard to make a call on those.

What's the Adam D mic technique? Just a 57 6" off the grill, on axis?

Thanks man. I kinda had em up so they'd be more audible, but in the updated mix I lowered em a bit to see how they fit in the mix a little more. and yes, I'm referring to the thread over in Production Tips about a 57 6" off the grill. I also tried an i5, which I have found I prefer for close micing, but the 57 sounded a lot better.
