Sorry if I've completely derailed your thread dude.
Yeah it is pumping quite a bit, I only spent about 25 minutes doing it, was just a bit of a mess around 'cos it sounded like fun.
There's nothing even slightly special going on in the clip I posted.
Guitars - EMG 81 into firepod.
1 track on each side.
Pod farm with Screamer, Treadplate amp, treadplate cab and condenser mic.
Little bit of EQ in cubase, just high and low pass.
Drums -
Kick - Slate kick 10 Z1
Snare - Slate snare 12A Z1
Cymbals are just the slate preset "cracky metal kit" With a bit of a high shelf boost.
That's pretty much it.
Master bus had a limiter and a clipper. Nothing special, just too much which is why it's pumping so much.
