God, I hate it when people start new threads on the same damned song.
You self-absorbed weenie gobbler.
DUDE, WTF HAPPENED TO MY TOTALLY COOL SCREAM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SONG? Do you think I recorded that for my HEALTH?!?!?! Why, just yesterday I was telling you how much I LOVED that being at the beginni...oh wait, nevermind.
But while I'm here. Cool, man. You know, not to polish your knob or anything, but that really is a great guitar tone... You dropped down the levels of the screams PERFECTLY in the tune. That's a nice verb on my vocal...I didn't really hear it on the first version if it was there...what IS that verb?I can hear more of your vocal stuff on here, and it's great...my vox are probably mixed a little hot for the genre (you know, "nu-hillbilly-metal-pop doors down," b/c all of my favorite nu-hillbilly-metal-pop doors down tunes have the thing with the... (Jesus, can I NOT be a smartass for like 3 seconds?
Okay, a touch of seriousness here. Thanks for doing this with/for me. If nothing else, you've got some pretty universal lyrics that you can sing some day, since you're too lazy to write words down on paper...I mean, they're mostly done, right?
Okay, for the overall mix...and this is something I noticed on the original file, you really might consider running it through a low cut filter at some point....I think I know why some people aren't getting a ton of low end...all the energy's really TOO low to be heard on a lot of systems. I can see the bottom just about pegged to the ceiling, but it's not doing that head surrounding warmness thing. I think if you cut some of the subsonics, it'll free up some headroom, so you might actually HEAR more bass. I'd run a high cut too...there's really no human use for much (if anything) over 16K, and I've noticed that 9 out of 10 commercial CD's I look at drop off really sharply below a peak at 63Hz, and like a freaking cliff @ 16K...seriously, like how mp3's cut off above about 16K...I always thought it was a compression thing...but 16bit commercial audio does the same thing...which accounts for a lot of the reason (I think) that commercial mixes sound pretty decent no matter WHAT you're listening on...I think producers shoot for the middle of the road -- no high highs, no low lows, and TONS OF MID-energy. (I don't listen to a lot of hip hop, lol). My monitors don't even play shit below 20Hz, but I can see there's some serious low end in this that I'm not getting the brain melting benefit from.
Oh, and most importantly, everything I just wrote is a total guess, except for the stuff about commercial mixing that Crawdad taught me, lol.
Dude, my next "goal in record" (right after "quit doing it all wrong") is to get the following guitar tone...sounds like a strat or a tele, through some kind of a Fender amp, with a ridiulous tremolo on it....THAT IS MY SIGNATURE SOUND...can you record something that sounds like the following without throwing up violently?
"Git Tone I Like - But Will Never Make"

(No joke on that, btw...I'm just rambling, and I love THAT tone...I'm sure everybody would hate it, lol. IT'S MY NEW AUTOTUNE...now please, tell me you can get that sound...on tap.
