I think the vox mare just too loud and bassy (sounds like he had his mouth on the mic). What did you mic the drums with? It may be just bad tuning but the toms have no real tone to them.

Those guitars were recorded direct with a V-AMP Pro. They couldn't get anything close to as good a sound with the shit they showed up to record with (A marshall MG50DFX and some shitty sounding Vox amp.) I have a couple of tube amps of my own here (a Laney 100 watt 2x12, and a 120 watt Red Bear 4x12 1/2 stack) both of which have really nice grindy, crunchy JCM800 type vibes - not at all what they needed here.
I used a custom patch that I created for them on the spot, using the guitar tones of "as I lay dying" and "lamb of god" as a target. We tweaked it for about 15-20 minutes in windows with the V-Amp Designer until we got it just they way they wanted, then we recorded the other guitar part with the same patch, but a different cab model. All I did was EQ a little bit of the boom - "shelf EQ'ed" 20Hz out completely, and most of 63Hz out to tighten up the guitar.
Much better mix man. Nice low end now. Mix seems to be way more even. I think you did the guitar right....it's not an overbearing sound for this particular song. Fits pretty snug. I like it man...nice job.amra said:Here is a new mix:
