Been recording this one for four days.
Drums:
2 Kel HM-1s for overheads no particular placement technique besides being measured equally to the bass drum and snare. 57 on snare about 3 inches up and one inch back faced towards the center. Beta 52 1 inch into the whole of the bass drum, and one 57 on the batter side 2 inches from the batter faced right at the center of the drum. 2 MXL 603s on rack toms 2 inches up and 1 back faced towards the center. Shure KSM 27 2 inches up and 2 back from the floor tom faced towards the center. Drum set was a Tama Rockstar stage custom with remo ambassader resos and Evans G2 batters. Bass drum had an aquarian reso and an Evans Emad 2 batter. Snare was a Joey Jordison signature.
Guitars:
Guibson Les Paul into a compressor/gate into a Peavy Valve King into an Avatar 4x12 with the grill taken off. One speaker was miced with a 57 about 4 inches from the cone. The other speaker was miced with a KSM 27 3-4 inches from the cone faced towards the center. We also ran a DI from the head.
Bass:
Some Ibanez into a gate/compressor into a some old Peavy bass head, into a 2x15 miced with a Beta 52 3" from the cone. We also ran a DI from the head.
Everything was recorded into M-Audio Octane Pre-Amps which went to A Motu 828 mkII interface into a G5 running logic 7. There are two guitar parts, and two tracks of overdubbed squeals and chugging/sustaining chord parts. There is a snare trigger backing the snare track, and a bass drum trigger backing the two bass drum tracks. Snare, bass drums and toms are EQed and bass drums and snares (including triggers) are sent to a compression bus. Bass is sent to this same buss. Guitars are completely dry, besides being panned. There are no vocals yet, but they will come soon.
This is a pretty rough mix, but bash away because I feel like it sounds better than most of what I record.
Also, I posted this on an other forum, and didn't get any feedback at all after 2 days, so I'm really begging you guys for help.
