Hi folks! Put this together over the weekend to test out my new audio interface. I'm pretty happy with it! The mix is maybe a little darker/quieter than your average 2013 metal album, but I think the extra low-end sounds nice if you are listening to it at high(ish) volumes. What do you guys think?

I'm confused as to why this is, as I'm perceiving it, supposed to be thrash metal or something? It seems peppy and upbeat to me.

Anyways, I'm not really hearing any bass... at all. I just get the drums and guitar.

Well the source material is very happy-go-lucky. My thinking was that the rhythm guitar playing and drums are fairly thrash inspired, but maybe I could have just said "up-tempo heavy rock" or something.

I think the bass tone isn't distinct enough pitch-wise. The mix is definitely very different if it's removed, but the actual bass-line isn't always so clear apart from the guitars. I unfortunately don't own a bass, so the bass part was created by pitch-shifting my guitar down an octave, then running it through a bass model on my Pod. Next time I'll see if I can get a clearer bass tone. (or maybe even buy a bass if I can scrape together the money)
