A really cool track from such a young band. Although described as Prog Metal, i felt it had a little "old school" Punk/hardcore feel to it. When i first heard the vocal line, Kieth Morris of Circle Jerks came to mind (Wonderful album) so i treated the vocal in a similar manner. I felt the vocal could be more aggressive, maybe some shouts/screams.
- I replaced all the drums and split the overheads into mono tracks and flipped the rights phase. Blended in the cymbal track. The HH track only became useful in filling in some middle noise. I didnt go
into the tons of time correction but fixed up a handfull of the most noticable sections.
- I used AmpliTube on the bass DI, Ampeg SVT Classic i believe, and distorted in parallel. It took lots of bending and stretching and cutting and grinding to get it decent. Filled in a few gaps where there should
have been notes played.
- Guitars were crazy. I took out 1 mic from each side, the ones you can hear the most room in. Alot of playing with EQ. I used Studio One 3's Console Shaper on the guitar bus and interestingly, pushing the
Crosstalk feature to 75% corrected a small bit of phasing and made it more stable. There were a few gaps in the guitar where he forgot what to play, a simple copy of the same part in another section filled those in.
Thanks for uploading this track!
