Just bought Reaper and I thought I'd take it for a testdrive.

Mixed through headphones alone on purpose, because I'm testing Jeroen Breebaart's new Isone Pro plug-in at the same time (might be a tip for other headphone users around here).

I recorded this for my old band, but they decided to stop being a band just before the vocals were recorded, so you'll have to do without :)

Cockos:
-ReaEq
-ReaDelay

Jeroen Breebaart:
-Red Phatt Pro
-PC2
-Smash Pro
-Barricade
-OmniVerb

Voxengo:

Enjoy and let me know what you think, any and all feedback is appreciated.

I really like the kick and snare, especially the snare with the bass in the beginning and right before the first mini solo. Are the guitars mic'd or are they run through ampsims? I can't tell so am unsure but that could be because my cabinet mic'ing leaves alot to be desired :) It does sound perfect though. It stands up well without vocals but I am curious - if you could pick the perfect voice for this, who would it be? if anyone.

Mmm perfect voice for this song...

I'd probably go with Brandon Boyd. But that's because I wrote the original vocal line and I know how it goes :)

The questions about the signal chains:

Rythm Guitar: Ibanez JS 100
- Line 6 Pod XT pro
- Focusrite Safire
Lead Guitars: Les Paul Custom
- Line 6 Pod Pro
- Focusrite Safire
Bassguitar: Warwick Streamer
- Sansamp tubepreamp
- Focusrite Safire
Drumkit: Pearl Master Series
- Beyer Dynamic Mics (opus 99 / opus 88) on kick/snare/toms
- M-Audio Luna's as overheads
- Mackie Onyx pre's
- There are some Steven Slate drumsamples layered on there

I thought I might as well post the other 2 songs that make up the unfinished demo.

I also backed up a bit on the main buss compression (heard some pumping when I checked on speakers), backed off the kick a bit and lessened the amount of guitardelay.
