I use cubase sx too, but as far as straight forward logical tracking goes, Kristal is awesome!! Then next version will support midi too, Its like using a basic tape machine...only easier!

I thought it had a lot going for it too tbo... I like the booming guitars acctually, but it needs something sitting between that and the vox tone wise and it will be fuller, you could keep the emphasis on the original guitar sound though i think its one of those "small chages, big difference" scenarios..

@ veracohr I'm at very amature stages so i might not have the best solutions to my observations but... The biggest thing for me was the clarity or punch of the drums, i think the kick and snare need raising or some eq to bring them to life a bit, the snare needs to cut through for that kinda music i feel... like punchy!! Also the cymbals seemed to have to much top end, they sounded a bit tin-y, a bit ear piercing! Another thing which isnt so much a problem, more of an option realy; you have 2 guitars panned left and right,right? I think they coulda had more of a contrasting sound to them which would widen out the sound abit more and add abit more depth to them, rather than slightly mushy, i think this would help the vocals too! EQ wise the guitars are way deeper than the vox, so having one guitar slightly brighter mightt help the vocals sit in the mix better as it has something to sit against, at the moment they are up high on their own, bring up the guitar tone and it should make the guitars 'hug' the vox more. Phew! for someone who doesnt know much i acctually ranted abit eh! lol Maybe someone could re-iterate my comments with more concise solutions!!! btw i used SOAD as a kinda benchmark tool. All the best! Adey
