    I thought this was pretty well done. I can't get completely get behind the drums but they cut well and that's really important. Vocals sounded really, really good IMO. Guitars sounded good too. Again, well done.


    What kind of setup did you use for the drums. What kind of kit, snare, cymbals, overheads, mics/positions, room, etc. did you use?

     

    I have to agree with you 100% I am not a huge fan of the drums either. He was pretty bull headed when it came to the drum sound.

     

    But anyhow the fallowing was used:

    Everything was run through the firepod's stock converters and preamps:

     

    Mapex kit (yeah don't remember the make unfortunatly)

    Ziljian A and Z custom cymbols

    Pearl masters snare

    SM57 mics on all toms and the top of the snare (total of 5 sm57 mics).

    sennhieser e609 on the bottom

    Studio projects C1 as overheads

    AKG D112 for bass drum (sample was used as well).

     

    Guitars:

    Ibanez MMM1 w/ gibson burstbucker pro pups

    LTD 300 series guitar w/ EMG HZ pickups

    Peavey 5150

    Crate cab with vintage 30 speakers

    Some of the tracks were sent to a guy to be reamped through a triple rectifier.

    The 5150 stuff was 2 sm57 mics for each take and the recto stuff was one sm57 per take.

     

    Bass:

    Fender american J standard 4 string into the ampeg SVT plug in. DI track was duplicated and the camel audio camelcrusher was applied to the second.

     

    Vocal:

    Studio projects C1. Messed with it quite a bit in melodyne.

    I mixed this for a friend of mine. I did not record anything so I worked with what I had. This is not mastered, just my mix. Is there anything I should ad or change? I did a cut of 60hz on the guitar, no high cut, very very slight compression and reverb since it sounded a little compressed out of the pod anyways, adjusted the levels, and called it a day with those.


    Drums I used a lot of compression and EQ to fit. I put as much midi samples over the real drums as I could since the source was not that great to begin with.


    Bass I just added a drop of compression and thats all.



    Vocals I used decent compression and cut 60hz and below. I bumped the vocals at 300hz. I added slight reverb and delay to try to make them sound more full





    Anyone got any tips on what would make this sound a little better? Thanks.

     

    I think this is great for a pod! What were you running patch wise? I think you nailed the genre's sound (they sound allot like Comeback Kid to me and thats awesome).

     

    Don't second guess it I think it sounds great. I would try chopping off the high end of the guitars at around 10k though (trust me all that is above this on a pod is fizz). I would also consider slamming the main vocal with lots of compression (like -12db of compression 3:1 ratio slower attack decay to taste). This is just to bring it out front a tad more.

     

    Thats all I can think of.

    Anyone have a neighbor who is a prick?

    My neibor is cool we have "who can be the loudest" wars. I always kick his ass :D. He tollerates me I tollerate him it's a good deal. He plays drums I have a half stack. He smokes pot I have parties. It's a good "don't tell on me or I will tell on you" relationship!
