These particular set of songs were initially supposed to be recorded for a friend, free of charge as a Christmas present. Which later was extended over three months and considered to be a birthday present as well.
No pitch correction was used (which is fairly obvious in certain parts) and all plugins were either "in the box" or completely free except for a few SSD samples added very late in the mixing process. We're set to release the Demo within the next week or two and I figured it might help to get feedback from other listeners first.
The only problem with remixing the songs is that there is not a whole lot more I can do to it because we weren't able to get very good DI's (at the time I didn't fully grasp their importance) and I feel like I mixed everything else to death already.
I used Cubase LE5 to track guitars and drums (a mix of midi e-drums and real) and Protools LE 8.1 to track vocals and mix the songs. The mic'd guitars are through a Blackstar HT-5 boosted with a boss OD. I feel like I should also add the fact that this is the most effort either of us has ever put into a project (the three months spent on it being proof, although much of that was ill managed time).
