A local band I know got me to do a demo for them. 1 song. Thought I'd stay clear of total sample replacement. I've added some Slate Z5's in behind the snare and toms, just because 
The drums were recorded in a yacht club. It's a big open room with 1 or 2 person yachts around the room. As you walk in there's a decent sized concrete wall entrance. I stuck a Studio Projects B1 out there for a sort of roomy/reverb type sound. Worked well, it's just blending in with the kit. I used two SM57's as room mics out front of the kit. Snare was double mics with a Beta 57 on top and an SM57 on the bottom. D6 on kick, SM57 on rack tom, MD421 on floor tom, C1000 on hats and Oktava MK-012's as overheads. Unfortunately, I never took any samples of the kit, could've done with the kick at the very least.
Having all sorts of trouble with the kick tbh, I don't want it to be too clicky but I still want it to cut and not disappear. It's closer than I had it earlier, but if anyone has any tips on that, please... help!
The bass was just DI'd and split into the Sansamp for grit. I think I've overdone the grit in the second verse, though... I think it works. The first verse bass is tapped so I've struggled with the level of it.
The guitars are all Pod Farm. Dirty was the SLO model with the Recto cab and the cleans were the JCM900 clean with a Recto cab. The noise at the end was done with my Line 6 DL4... just for fun. These guys are very into the Grungy type sound... hence the noise and non perfect guitar solo. The bends were miles apart, but we liked it.
Vocals were voice into my newly acquired SM7.
Looking for any sort of feedback. I've gotten my disclaimers in... so fire away I suspect the bass and kick are the biggest faults in here.
Cheers for looking

. Not really your problem though, i'm sure he'd love me for saying that too. Is that the tardis taking off at the end? I recall that was piano strings in the original rather than guitar strings haha lol.
