Ill Fate - good ol´ hardcore with a metal twist

[dcp10200]

Hey Guys,

another mix I´ve done because I was bored =)

Drums: No samples needed for this song. Kick & snare sound great, Overheads were perfect too, the Toms look like they have been replaced with samples. Anyway, I tried parallel compression for Kick, Snare and Toms which I normally don't do and it turned out great.

Bass: I wish every metal band would record such a great bass tone =) I´ve send both tracks to a bus and waves bass rider did the rest. there's just a little bit of compression on the distorted track.

Guitars: Mesa Boogie is the right tone for this music. I´ve used 2 presets from EZmix 2 "Andy Sneap"-Add-on (Seattle crank on the left, Seattle boogie on the right right). I didn't use the amped guitar tones because Sneaps Presets sound better 90% of the time. Beside the two guitar tracks left & right there's also one guitar track in the middle but its muted every time the vocals go up.

Vox was very easy too, SSL-Channel on each track and and Vocal Rider on the vox bus was everything i needed. I`ve added some gang shouts at the end (done with melodyne)

ah, slates VCC is on every channel and bus, VTM on the master and drum bus, VBC on all buses. I normally go for 1-2 db of compression on every bus

Overall your mix is good, the guitars are really nice and heavy. Unfortunately the drums, especially the double kick, is almost non existent in the mix. I would really turn down the guitars and bring up the kick.
