New Mammoth song (work-in-progress, trying out RevIII with this one)

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Hi everyone, here's a new song from me: http://syliin.com/jarkko/mammoth/Mammoth - Retention WIP3.mp3

I would greatly appreciate any feedback, criticism or hints on how to improve the mix. It's the usual setup: Guitars are an LTD-400 to my Firepod, then to TSS and Revalver III. Bass is some LTD loaned from our bass player through Ampeg SVX. Drums are EZD with replaced kick and snare samples. Ask ahead if you want to know more details about something

Oh, and no vocals. Will do them later if I find someone to volunteer, but I haven't got my hopes too high

fuckin awesome guitars man.

Great guitar tone man, could you share some info on the RevIII settigns?

Thanks! The intro, choruses and outro are quad-tracked, the verses are dual. The signal chain is basically just TS' Secret (a great, free Tube Screamer plugin) into Revalver running 6505's in the red channel and (Guitarhack's?) New IR 1.wav impulse. The four tracks are then bussed and ran through a HP/LP eq, Waves C4 and Voxengo CurveEQ (just some small adjustements with a curve taken from Chimaira's Blackheart). I guess that's pretty much it Can't remember the 6505 settings that precisely but it was something like (on a scale 1-10) pre-gain 4.00, low 8.00, middle 2.50, high 5.00, master 9.00 and presence around 6.00.

Sure! I really don't know if it was Guitarhack who made this, and I can't even begin guessing what cab it's captured from, but it sounds good to me Here's the link: http://carnalgrief.com/temp/NewIR_1.wav

Ok, I have worked quite a lot on this one, and while I think I'm at a point where I feel confident about the mix myself, my ears are getting pretty deaf to it already. A fresh opinion on the mix as a whole would be sweet!
