Thrash Inspired Mix

[Dave Cardwell]

Any opinions on this song/mix? The guitars are quad-tracked 6505 into a Mesa cab and the drums are the Slate black kit.

Yeah its good, but I would say the rhythm guitars are a bit muddy. I would bring them up a bit and add a bit of eq to get them a bit more in your face.
I liked the ace of spade guitar lick

Same here.

Rythm guitars are hard to hear.

Thanks! I'll work on the guitars and see if I can get it sounding better.

I boosted around 8k and did some cuts around 1k.

A tad better but i still don't like it so much. I think it's because i don't like the very gainy/fizzy guitar tone used on industrial metal.

Here is a test with much less gain: http://www.cardwellmusic.com/temp/DaveCardwell-JadedLoGain.mp3

Sounds better but you should make the guitars a tad louder and/or add some bite to it (had a lack of bite with a previous guitar take, and JoeJackson suggested me to boost around 3K and 5k and it worked great). (Check this thread: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/...re-metal-song-song-sound-feedback-please.html ).

The lower gain version sounds cool, but I like the second clip best.

That said, I think you could be just a little bit more generous in the 8-12k range.
