'Radio Metal' mix (AD/Amplitube/EVMBL/Waves)

[lordofthestring]

Recorded this for commercial use and just wanted some feedback from you guys on what it might need or need less of. Not my style at all but it's for a music licenser and their perception of Metal is unfortunately years outdated.

Guitars are boosted with the TSS and running into Amplitube 3 (yes, paired with a good impulse...A3 can sound quite decent!). Bass is EVM Bassline and drums are Addictive Drums (Blending/Triggering unknown kick and Joey's new snare sample). Master channel has a dash of Reverb, Tube Saturation (Wavearts), and an L2.

Thanks!

Update: New link with lower cymbals, higher snare, and a little more low-end (I think this is causing some clipping now?) - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5559591/UndefeatedRevise.wav

sounds good, cymbals are a little harsh, but nothing that would be a deal breaker.

Cymbals sound terrible. I'm not a fan of the guitar tone either. Snare seems a bit buried too.

I wouldn't say terrible but I would try to tone it down a little. Maybe make the toms a little less sharp and a little thicker too.

I had my doubts about the cymbals being a little too hot/loud. I don't like the guitar tone that much either but it fits the style (somewhat synthetic sounding). I'll mess with the toms too, thanks dudes!
