Havent posted anything in a while so I thought I'd share a work in progress (but probably close to finished!) song I've been working on the past couple days for a band I kind of play guitar in with some friends.

Drums are all slate (I fucked up a kick in the first part!@!@!@!# uke: it annoys me to no end hearing this export right now and not being at my work computer to fix it. arg!) Guitar is 6505+ to 57, with TS and mesa traditional cabinet. Bass was TS into mesa big block 750 into ampeg 8x10 with a beta52 mic which i think came out pretty sweet and really makes me want to ditch bass sims and go the extra mile to reamp a bass track from now on

tell me what you think!

edit: finalized this mix, listen here! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2093596/Only the Dead - End of the World_finalmix.mp3

Sounds pretty good but why are the overheads so mono?

Sounds great. The kick's a bit robotic but not too much for the particular style. I think the OHs could be louder and wider but it might be personal preference.

agreed.

Drums sound so puny compared to everything else.
This is pretty fucking nicely produced though man, very polished.

Sounds so huge! Great Job Sean!!!

Did you double track all the vocals?

Any info on what you did to the vocals would be cool.

Hmmm i may have to revisit the drums slightly. I think I do agree about the OH and they might be a little small sounding overall

Thanks! vox are all through an AT4050, into great river pre. there are two vocalists and they each double tracked everything. One of them screams high and one low. I ended up cutting the higher vocalist out of like two parts though

there is some mostly subtractive eq into the waves cla1176 plugin at 8:1 medium attack super fast release with like 10db reduction and a small amount of quarter note delay and an altiverb emt140 plate on both vocal chains (the high and low singer)
