This is a Christian 'metal' band I'm doing a 10 song demo for. This is all likely to get recorded somewhere down the line when they can afford to get into a studio with me instead of my garage. There's no bass and we need to record their lead singer/screamer fellow but I'd like some opinions on how everything sounds.

This is 'mastered', ie, I've compressed it a couple passes, run it through a tape sim (my beloved Vintagewarmer, ah!) to boost levels, and used an L2 to limit. All plugins of course.

I'm going to be purchasing monitors before the end of this project so that I can get some better mixes - I'm still using puter speakers with a subwoofer. BLEH.

Martyr's Prayer

Criticize the recording to death, leave the playing alone for the most part : )
 
I dont' want to be a little bitch, but...

I've got a 'bump' on my forehead.
 
so far so good, man. The lack of bass is distracting, but I don't really have any technical nits.
 
once you get the bass in there it should fill out a bit. kick drum sounds good. snare could be brought up and for this style of music, compress the hell out of it.
 
Actually, on my system it was bit boomy, and yes, it really needs the bass.

Cool so far, but you might want to look at some of the lower freqs of the guitars.
 
Can anyone comment on the way I did the vocals? I've NEVER doubled vocals and this has one lead, two tracks of harmony and two tracks of the lead melody at differing distances from the mic. I like how it came out and I think it adds to a sense of bigness and bigness means 'better', but as it's my first foray into the technique, I need some feedback.
 
i don't like the snare sound, and the overheads aren't that great but that is probably because it's in a garage. Carry on.
