I doubt that guy even watches t.v. preachers.
Really clear mix! For dense heavy stuff, it all shines through. Each part and component is super distinct. That's a job well done. I feel those guitars on the edges, and the vocal lives large on the edges as well. Did you make a concerted effort to leave the middle of the spectrum clearer? Drums in the center?
My only crit, and this would probably screw up your fine mix, is vocals a little louder. In the chorus, you could drop the guitars/kick pedal just a hair, and let that all-important chorus vocal pop out of the woofers like Rosemary's Baby.
Holy triple kick pedal, that guy can bring it.
I appreciated your different rhythmic signatures as you went along. Made it a great listen.

Thanks for this listen and maybe an "idea" for the mix when the record company advances us ONE MILLION DOLLARS (CAD or USD, no matter to us) to produce the album.

Heheh. I see you Mesher.
If you are interested I might post the details on what I did for the main song which was actually a whole series of plans and experiments that worked out as good/even better than I expected. I still want to refine the sound more but this scheme is definitely something I'll be using again and not just for BBZ.
Wow, very good track here guys!! You guys simply rock!! Great performance & production. (I know, I know......I only just listened to this now  ) Excellent work on the guitars Beeps......I just love your melodic playing!! Would love to know the details on the tones/amps/pedals/fx's used......I'm always looking/need for a good setup meself.  Well done lads.....really well done!!

Hi, guys. Been so meaning to catch up with all the kind posts and suggestions but have been too heat stroked/brain fried to muster up anything more than silly Coffee House jokes.
But thanks all for the listens and compliments.
@Mesh... I was actually contemplating making a little video to show of the guitar mix scheme since that might be easier to put together and understand than my usual stream of text. Been wailing hard on my album project though to get it all set up for the final tracking/mix but I'll definitely keep it on my to do list even if your're the only one interested.
As you know clarity is such a MAJOR issue with this type of music but you also don't want the guits COMPLETELY disengaged from each other. I figured I had finally acheived a decent balance between the two but some of the comments here seem to confirm it... which makes an ever so happy and squiggly Beeps.
Thanks again, all.

It's quite possible I broke The Bapu.
Judging by the looks of things going on in The Mosh Pit , it seems The Bapu enjoys playing this type of music   Kenny

loved the bass and guitar at the intro, really great sound!
personally, I'd like to hear a little more punch in the drums, but this might be normal for the genre? other than that the mix is really well balanced! crunchy guitars sound really great!
love the bridge guitars, too! great sound! great playing!
Thanks my becan biting beagle.

The guitar at the beginning sounded stellar! Overall FIVE STARS!
Thanks David. How many stars for the rest of the song?

For a dense mix like this, everything is very audible...lots of clarity. I'd like a few of the solos up a hair in spots, but I can still hear them. Drums sound nice and tight, lots of power in the kick and snare, though they could use a touch more mid-high. Pretty cool tune overall. Beepster can play, no doubt about it.
I think I'll go listen again...drums sound fine...

Beepster can play No Doubt? You mean like "I'm Just A Girl?"  I just want to know how many more months/years/millennia we have to wait for their next song!
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

Thanks, Dan. That's high praise coming from you. Cheers!
@craig... Early No Doubt wasn't half bad... and yes I had a bit of a twisted/ironic affection for that particular song. I believe I may have drunkenly serenaded a few young ladies with it to get me sum larffs.
When I was REALLY young (like maybe grade 3 or 4) I used to sing ZZ Top's "She's Got Legs" for my friend Alexis whilst doing a satirical little boy version of the dance from the "L'Eggs" pantyhose commercials that were incessantly airing at the time. Big high kicks, splits, da works.
I used to be much more flexible back then. Still just as ridiculous though.

Late to the party... gotta agree with Dan on this one, for as dense as the mix seems there's still a lot of clarity. Well done.
Loved the intro, just so easy to listen to. And then I was assaulted (in a good way) once everything kicked in. Rhythm section is solid and accurate, and the vocal growl fits perfectly. In spots it reminded me a bit of the soundtrack from Queen of the Damned, if anyone happens to be familiar with it.

Late to the party myself  Very much so. I bought the DVD, just to get the soundtracks, and the extra music videos. Especially Redeemer and Forsaken. I think that's probably the best work Jonathan Davies has done solo So thanks
