First proper paid job and first credited mix and master! LET'S CELEBRATE!
Drums are S2.0, slingerland 70's snare, toms are just the default ones. kick is a blend of like 3 kicks. one of lasse's, nate's and the broodwiches. i think i may have mixed morgans tunnel kick in there too, but i cant remember.
Guitars are 8505 into fredman impulses. tried recabinet (cheers again for the EPIC bargain shane
, you should all go buy it if you havent done already!) but i think i need to really sit and spend some time fucking about with mic combinations and all that stuff. there's just too much choice haha.
Bass was Ampeg SVX and a fuckton of processing. 4 different tracks. One is a subbass track that I limited to the point of it being a sausage, trance style (thanks ermz!) and the rest are all twang/distortion/meat tracks with various settings. kept the subbass track really high in the mix with very little of the really distorted shit and went for a mega sludge/doom tone, works really well.
Vocals were quite roomy to begin with. Compressed twice over with API-2500 and sent to a small room reverb which was turned up really fucking high.
This mix is pretty messy, the performances are sloppy and it could probably sound far better, but the fact that it's hardcore makes it all okay IMO. I'm really pleased with how this sounds at the end of the day, so it's cool. Nice and raw and heavy and atmospheric. Sounds like a band in a room playing music together and that's not something to complain about IMO
edit: also big big shout outs to nectar and fuel and owen for converting drums to midi for me while i worked on the mixes, couldnt have got this one down without you two \m/
