Fun song to mix, thanks for sharing! I wonder where you Dark Ride guys got the Kemper profile. It sounds alot like Colin Richardson!
Kick and Snare are reinforced with custom samples of mine.
Sounds good. Nice and clear while also being solid and loud. A little bright for mys taste, but that's me. I like the approach on the acoustic guitar, it stands out well.
Cool & punchy. Too much reverb for my taste, but it's far from annoying/distracting. What kind of reference mix did you use?
The kemper profile was kinda tricky to do - but a lot of backwards engineering and some magic did the job :-P You can download it on the Kemper site, just search for killswitch in the database.
Hi Blitzzz,
Thanks for the profile tip. I was aiming for that Colin Richardson wipe especially on drums. I´d love to hear the original Kevin Talley recordings, can´t imagine that they´re not usable. Thanks!
Oh they are unusable because the song itself (= Dead Enemies) has changed since we recorded the drums with Kevin. Piece of me on the other hand wasn't played by him; I programmed the drums from start to end.
Good news: Dirk Verbeuren from Soilwork will be our drummer for the final 3 songs of our first album (Generation under Fire) and the next CD too =) No more drum programming for me - yeah!
Good mix for what you had. The vox was recorded with lots of fx and that limits a mix big time.
Everything else is ok.
