Cheers guys! Overwhelmingly positive feedback so far. I was expecting this to be seen as a total failure on my part, so thank you...
@Catharsis: We sorted out your credit on this CD, so you'll be appearing on the sleeve. Thanks a heap for the reamps once again.
@poida: Cheers man, a lot of getting the vocals to sit is in getting the mix to sit around them. I always start from the ground up and add vocals last.
@KeithTidd: Nice! Actually The Ascendancy was the record I was referencing off the entire time I was mixing/mastering this. Towards the end I threw some EOH in there. My goal was to get it sounding like those two records, but unfortunately for that to happen the raw tracks have to be a lot more on the ball.
@Dan: I've dealt with Mav's recorded vox before, so I knew this was roughly what to expect. He really brings the Trivium vibe, for better or worse.
@JoshuaLogan: That's cool man, I don't think it's my fave kick sound either, but the important thing was that it worked for the material. I tried some fatter and splattier kicks, but it would either be too muddy or not cut well enough.
@Chryst: Thanks dude.
@Dodo: I'm glad to hear that! Catharsis definitely did good on this. He did a few different versions and provided the best reamps I had for this (we ran through about 12 different iterations with different people). It still took quite a bit of EQ in the mix to get them to sit right, but the starting point was good!
