Thanks so much for all the kind words, guys! Means a lot coming from you, my peers/superiors
 
Along with folks here, I have the generous wealth of blogs and videos from Graham Cochrane of The Recording Revolution to thank for a lot of the quality of my mix. Dude totally schooled my brain on the whole subject.
 
If you'd like to hear a couple more songs, they can be found at the following links:

And (trying not to be too advertisy) if you're interested in the album, it can be found on CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon (CD / digital), and Google Play.
 
I'd also love your guys' support on social media

Hiya Kyle.
 
Great video and an excellent song... Right up my street . Sounds really good.
 
Tell me, did you DI the guitars?
 
cheers

Thanks, Andy! Guitars straight into the interface to TH2 (or Guitar Rig 4, in the case of the bass).

Song sounds great. My only critical observation might be about showing the computer drum interface on the video - great for a Sonar advertisement but I'm not so sure about metal street cred, personally I would de-emphasize the fact they aren't real drums. They sound great, don't get me wrong!
 

 
Hi, Steve. Well I already knew I wasn't going to get the cred you're referring to by not physically playing the drums myself (Do I look like Gene Hoglan to you??). And I didn't want to make it seem like I was, or worse, hide that I wasn't. So I decided to be candid and honest, and openly show the process (also to show how--while not the same as physically playing the beats--painstaking and involved the process is).

Sounds cookin' -- really good mix and the crunch on the guitars is sweet...

Thanks, Allan! Spent a good amount of time fiddling with TH2 for the guitar tones
 

That's nice to know Kyle, thanks

Not really my kind of music - but this is obviously very well done - great playing and mix.

Sounded good and I imagine a lot of fun putting together. Great presentation up front. Very creative arrangement and delivery. I liked how the video broke down the 3 part guitar lead. The vocals are way crazy (i.e. crazy in a good sense). Pushing myself to be critical here,... maybe?.... Ah?..... Never mind.  

Thanks, guys!
 
Here's a new lyric video for another song off the album (Music taste forewarning: This is a heavier one)...

@FreeEarCandy - Yes fun, in a very... VERY tedious way. And you can be critical any day of the week

Yeah, that is very solid.  Powerful.  Not the genre I listen to much but reminds me of Breaking Benjamin. Nice job and good luck with the album!
