This is the first four minutes or so of The Master's Apprentices, by Opeth. The drums and bass are MIDI (When I record the final version, I'll have DKFH drums and real bass), and the guitar parts were recorded on my BC Rich NJ Neckthru Warlock with Dimarzio pickups, through a Randall RG75 SS combo. I used a Shure SM57 and another mic that I'm not sure of the name of into a Behringer UB1002 mixer and into the soundcard. I recorded 4 tracks of guitar, panned them 75/75 and 25/25. I added some post-recording EQing in Cool Edit Pro 2.0.
I'm really trying to get more a more professional sound- I know the first step is a gear upgrade, but until then, is there anything anyone can suggest to help my mixes sound better?
