Rate Thy Mix... New Oedipus Complex Song

[CSMadden81243]

New song from my band, no bass or vocals yet so it will sound a little empty, but what does everyone think so far?

I really dig the sound and riffage!
The only thing i'm complaining about is the kick. I would try
another sample like the "unbelieveable pearl forum kick" (from Erkans sample
pack.
With some EQ : -boost at around 70-100 Hz with Q: 2.0 and 9dB~12
-apply high pass filter on kick drum around 50 Hz -3dB reduction, for the deep bass guitar frequencies to dominate the sub woofer

Bass Guitar (to blend it with the kick) :
-dip 70-100 Hz (depends on where you boosted the kick) with Q: 2.0 and -9dB reduction
-boost at 250 Hz

This works perfectly fine for me!

Thanks for the input, but at the moment there is no bass, so I really can't mess with anything too much right now which sucks. But glad you like the song, it's probably my favorite out of the rest we've written.

What did you use for the guitars?

 

[CSMadden81243]

Guitars were Ibanez (can't remember the model at the moment) > line6 ux2 > Overloud TH1 > some compression (not very heavy) > T-Racks 3 FM Broadcast preset (with no clipper and limiter turned down a tad). On the leads, there is a little automated delay, but thats the only difference.
