Guitars are through 8505->awesome4pulse (catharsis)
Bass through TSE 1.6 ->Ampeg IR
Drums are SSD, Chunky kit.

Lemme know what you think! I know the intro is probably too loud ):

Can barely hear the OH's... Guitars sound good to me!

More opinions please??

Weird... I thought the OHs were alright but that the kick needed a lot more punch. Maybe the snare could be a little louder too.

i wish i could get a tone like that through 8505

Agreed with the kick punch.

Guitars sound good though!!!

Yeah, I'm still figuring out how to get that "punch" to my snares and kicks... :/ All I do is heavy compression with 70 ms attack and boost the high end for both. Any tips?

And 8505 settings are:
Gain: 7
Low: 6
Mid: 2
High: 7
Presence: 2.5
I think that's all there is on an 8505? Not sure.

And then LeCab, catharsis awesome4pulse, Hi-lo at 70 Hz and 11000 Hz

And then I put it through a parametric, cut the 800 Hz 4000 Hz by 2 dB.

boost the low end around 150hz on the kick to give it some punch. you could do the same for the snare, only do it around 250hz. guitars sound pretty awesome. OHs sound real thin though.

OH are at the right volume IMO, the kick definetely needs more punch. use kick 10, it comes with the all versions of SSD. much punchier

To me the HH is fine, I'd just bring the cymbals up a tad. But i think maybe the other way around is better.. bring the guitars down a bit and you're fine...
