Texas Metal Band: Real Drums with triggers, Real Amps

[paladin shredder]

I'm recording this band called Malthusia. Drums were recorded in a tinny shack in the drummers backyard where the band rehearses, so the only miced drums are little bit of natural snare and cymbals.

I still have some edits I need to make towards the end of the song, but mostly I've just been trying to get everything to gel together tonally.

Guitars were tracked with a pod and the DI, but I scrapped the pod tone completely and reamped using my proRMP into my 6505+ w/ Mesa Rec Cab. I tried something different and used 2 sm57's, one on the grill and one 6 inches back and -10db in the mix.

edit: little less 500hz http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/333261/Malthusia/To the Grave (7).mp3

also, do you think the guitar tone sounds weird? any tips are welcome!

Sounds awesome! What do you use for the kick and what's the kick channel?

This is pretty cool man. Where in Tx are you located?

kick is the bodom kick pitched down about 15% and the caliban kick equal in volume.

I live just outside of Fort Worth.

edit: thanks for the compliments! criticism is also welcome too.

guitars do sound weird.. they sound good.. but kinda scratchy like a pod or an impulse.. could just be how they picked.

The guitar tone has a unique character. It is in no way at all bad. I like this mix. I would maybe bring the guitars down a bit, though.
