This one was a fun challenge. I didn't get into editing timing/pitch at all, just tried to get everything to sit nicely.
Some stuff went well, some stuff did not.
On the good side, the kick came in kind of anemic. I ran it into a dbx 120 subharmonic synthesizer for some bottom and parallel crushed that through a dbx 118 before blending back in. That worked.
The guitars I all ran through a UREI 530 EQ. That thing just sounds so freakin metal. That was good too.
The bass was so muddy and buried. Ran it in a Symetrik 501 and I think that helped some, but idk. it's still kind of meh.
Vox got some lexicon reverb and went through a tube leveling compressor. Took off 6-8 dbs at the loudest parts but it was pretty transparent.
The toms I ruined. Gated em too hard. They aren't even there. Could not figure out the toms. Failed that part.
So for my first song anywhere near this genre I'm content, but man - lots to learn, lots to learn. Tricky song. The editing would have taken a lot too. I threw in the towel before that, it's late!
