Song to mix

[mickrich]

Hi all,
I read this forum a lot, but this is my first post. I run a studio in Dublin, Ireland and record a lot of metal. I see a few posts here where you can download raw multitracks to mix.
I can upload a track I recorded last week if there is interest in it.
It's a cover of People Of The Lie by Kreator. It can be heard on myspace.com/trackmixstudio. It was recorded for a compilation album of Irish bands doing thrash covers.
There are a lot of tracks on this, including drum room mics, and 3 mics on each guitar take. I cannot connect to the forum's ftp. I am getting authentication failures, but I can upload to rapidshare no problem. The file will be nearly a gig I would think (24bit/44.1).
I would be very interested in hearing some alternative mixes if anyone's up for it.
Michael

A few notes on the tracks. 24 bit 44.1k.
The 2 rythm guitars and the lead guitar have 3 tracks each. 57 close, Small Diaphram Condenser close, And RooM.
Kik os is a neumann 1 foot in front of kick drum.
snt & snb are snare top and bottom.
Vox 1 & 2 are double tracked verse. chrs 1 & 2 are double tracked chorus.
The drums are all mics with no triggers
Will post back when the upload is finished.

Ok, here's my attempt :- http://www.upload.celtiaproductions.co.uk/uploads/cobhc-PeopleMix.mp3

 

[mickrich]

Nice!
That was quick.

 

[cobhc]

Any opinions on the mix?

 

[csholtmeier]

cob, sounds like there's alot of clipping going on. Like a Sony Limiter being pushed too far in "enhance" mode. Other than that it sounds solid, just a lttle crispy around the edges.

Anyway, here's my mix.

Really like what I'm hearing so far. Will wait for a few more before commenting. How have you guys used the three mics on guitars?. Did you find any benefit in having the SDC and room mics?.

I'm mixing...there are some problems with the oh tracks....I hear more snare,toms and kick than cymbals on these tracks...

 

[mickrich]

John Bonham is turning in his grave!
A good stereo representation of the kit in the overheads is something I very much like. Much more so than cymbal spot mics, so "problem" is an opinion I would disagree with. Not saying you are wrong, or that I am right. It's just preference.

 

[::XeS::]

Ok man Anyway the kit sounds awesome!

Felipe, I like so much your snare? What do you use on it?
