Chadsxe, don't feel bad! Thanks for the compliment about the recording, and I'll go through how it was done below. Do you have any samples of your music up here? I'm new, but I can give you some feedback based on what I hear if you like. Anyways, to address your points:
Drums: Mic placement was one for the kickdrum, one for the snare, one on each tom (my drummer only has two toms), and two overheads. 60% of the tone is my drummer's original tone, which he tuned up prior to the recording, which makes the BIGGEST difference. I can't stress how important this seems to be. We recorded a demo before at a local studio with an engineer about a year ago, and a guy there showed him how to tune it all up properly. 40% of the tone is triggered from Drumagog, but they aren't stock samples you can purchase. The secret here is that my buddy records bands and has some really killer drum samples that he put together himself, and when I heard them, I said, "hey, can you give me those samples? I'd love to use them on my recording." Which, of course, he did. Honestly, without Drumagog, it wouldn't sound nearly as good. So I guess I cheated there with fattening up the sound, but I hear that a lot of bands are using drum triggers these days. I suppose I'm not really a purist in that sense, I just want to get the best sound possible to my ears.
Vocals: Yes, it's is only a C1 right into the Tascam pre, nothing else. I did a scratch vocal track with a
Shure SM58, believe it or not, which sounded like complete crap. So I actually bought the C1 based on reviews from this message board, without ever trying it before. Once I used it a little bit ago, I'll never turn back. I LOVE it. The vocals on the verses and choruses have literally zero effects at all on them. No EQ, no reverb, nothing. The parts on the chorus that sound "effected" were acheived by just tracking backing vocals and panning until it sounded good to me. Obviously, there is one line in the verse, and the middle part that I EQ'd to sound thin, but other than that, I've had good results with this mic and I recommend it to anyone. Now can I get sponsored, please? Anyone from PMI out there?

As for the screams, I've been screaming in bands for a few years now, and I have my screams under control. I know my throat fairly well (not a good singer yet though, dammit!), but I know how to get the right tone with the right amount of...loudness, for lack of a better word. I just watched the meter in Sonar when I screamed my loudest, and made sure it didn't clip on the recording. Then, I just compressed the hell out of it and mixed it really low and panned it off a bit. The screams were a lot louder before, but they only seem to work when they're mixed low (on the pre-chorus and chorus, at least).
Guitar: Yes, it's just a Line 6 Guitarport which I bought for $85 with a friend's discount at Guitar Center. I know a lot of people on this board discount the Line 6 stuff, but again, I guess I'm not a purist in this regard. I live in the smallest studio apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I can't blast my amps in here. Again, I just tweaked with the settings until I found the right tone. If you have one, I can give you the settings I used if you like. Check it:
--Amp Model: 1993 Solo 100 Head
--Cab Model: 1x12 1964 Blackface 'Lux
--Gate Effect: Threshold -65db, Decay 75%
--Comp Effect: -20db Threshold, 5 db Gain
--Mic Selection: 57 on Axis, 50% from the cabinet
With those settings, two guitar tracks were recorded, panned hard right and left. It sounds like complete crap when you only have one track, but with two layered it sounds full and amazing to me. And yes, I learned from reading articles here that a good guitar sound alone doesn't necessarily sound good in a mix. I never thought about that. So there you go! Try it out yourself.
Keys: This was the easy part, just tedious. Yes, they went straight into the Tascam pres as well, one track at a time since there are only two ins on the 122.
I hope this helps anyone trying to get a good sound as well, and damn, I want to thank all of you for providing feedback about the tune. We're a pretty serious band and I'm serious about making our album sound as good as possible. You all rule!
Paul
Edit: Jesus this is a long post. Sorry for being so long-winded. I should be working on the music!
