I'm working on this little death metal band called Plagues of Purging from Central IL, I haven't gotten vocals tracked yet, but I would like for you guys to let me know if you have any advice on the mix, I am working on it slowly but surely. And if you like it and have any questions on how I pulled it off, I'd be glad to answer them for you guys.

Anyone? I think the kick needs worked on, and cymbals need lowered, anything else?
 
This is another tune that SC won't play for me. Drives me nuts because some play and some don't.
 
Mix sounds pretty well separated. I like how you've got the hihat in its own space. Not a big fan of the clicky kick but I guess you need it for this kind of tune. Doesn't seem to have a huge bottom end presence yet to go with the crunchy riffs. Maybe have a look at that when you get the vocals
 
thats crazy. how were the drums done? if they are real then thats some kick drum technique you have.
 
I can't speak to the genre very well, but it sounded like it had everything. I can't remember if this style uses a lot of bottom, but it would add to power of the song.
 
I used an audix d6 kick with sample re-enforcement for that extra punch, md421's on the toms, 2 sm57's on the snare, Samson pencil mic on the hat, akg pencil's for overheads, a Rode nt1 for room mic (by the way, the drummer used my in house Mapex maple/birch hybrid kit). I ran the kick into my warm audio wa12, snare top into a ART v3, and all into my Soundtrac Mega S console. I used a Line 6 Pod HD Pro with an Ibanez Iron Label S or LTD MH1000nt for the guitars, a Gibson Thunderbird into the ART v3 for bass, I recorded dry tracks for reamping into my ENGL Powerball though, I wasn't to pumped about how the guitars sound, I'm gonna spend alittle more time with the lower end on the drum kit. I plan on using the ART v3 with a SM7b for vocals. I did just a quick master, I just threw a preset from Izotope ozone 5 on there, the very first one and called it good, since the song isn't completely tracked yet lol.
 
I forgot to mention, I buried the d6 into the kick drum about 4 inches from the batter head, that is probably why I didn't get as much bassy push out of it, I think that I will have to double mic it the next time, I got a few more kick drum mics. Or even build a sub kick for that.
