Dan,
 
Awesome track, your production skills are outstanding.   The layered guitars sound amazing and that synced tremolo guitar really adds to the introduction build.     I like your overall use of space, dimension and delay.   Are you using Waves SSL on this project?
 
 
Regards

Thank you Mark! Yes, Waves SSL all over this track. I generally don't use it on simple tracks like the arps or synth drones, but I use it everywhere else, particularly drums, bass and guitars.

Great job!  Sounds very balanced on my D5 Equator's.  Love the layers.  Guitars sound awesome.  The playing has a lot of feel.  
 

great tune....love the double leads at 2:40ish...you did well keep everything in focus with the track count. DT tunes our track count can range from 25 on the lowest end to in the 100 range on some of our tunes. For me the tricky part is not how many tracks but what frequencies the instruments abide in...that's where it can be a challenge to ensure everything has some limelight....
 
great tune...lots of interesting things going on and as mentioned great mix.
 
So what are you using for the guitars...very nice tones!

Thanks Tom! I've spent the last couple of years really focusing on learning mix technique, and I'm glad it is starting to pay off. I'm much more comfortable mixing now. I used to be terrible at it.
 
The tones for the guitars are mostly from a Digitech GSP1101. Certainly not top of the line, but it has a very good sounding preamp and the built-in amp sims are pretty good. I also used Amplitube and Guitar Rig 5, but all of the guitars go through the Digitech first.

That Digitech unit is highly rated. I'm a big fan of their rack preamps. I had a 2120 from 1998 right up until 2010. Looked at getting the 1101 but settled on the Roland VG99. For me Digitech always gave me that glass breaking yet warm tone that I love for solos.

When I bought it, I was augmenting a Roland GP-16, really ancient. My intention was to use both, but since I've started using the Digitech, the Roland unit hasn't even been powered on, lol.
