this was sort of fooling around, but i ended up giving it a thorough mixdown. disregard the poor vocal performance, but please do note the sound of the vocals.

let this load while you read the rest:

here's what you care about:

kick - beta52a
sn top - audix f90
sn bot - sm57
OH's - cascade m37 (2)
toms - sennheiser e604 (3)
bass loop (boss rc20) - cheapo DI
rhythm gtr Left - floor pod DI + sm57 on amp
rhythm gtr Right - floor pod DI + sm57 on amp
lead gtr Left - floor pod DI + sm57 on amp
lead gtr Right - floor pod DI + sm57 on amp
vocals - beta58
room - at3035

everything run through Mackie Onyx mixer -> firewire -> Tracktion2

neat things about this recording:

the band is a duo and it was done LIVE !! the Line6 floor pod played a huge role in this recording.

thoughts ???

ps - not my band at all, so i am unconcerned with performance or musicianship, strictly the mix characteristics. THANKS!!!!!!!!!

That was pretty cool for only a duo. The only comments I could make about your engineering is blah blah blah, yadee yadee yadee. Gotta' love those lyrics. I do. Although I'd like to hear a little more presence & high end on the vocal. Nice warm proximity effect but a little too nondescript verging on muddy but it is friendly sounding and not obnoxious. So in that respect, don't cut low end, boost the midrange & high freaks.

Quite entertaining
