..hmm..direct input to ur soundcard and u never use any amp modeler or direct box to get that kind of quality recordings and good guitar tone..and u dont have Hi-Z input some more..u surely did alot of EQ coz the initial recorded tracks sounded mellow when u input directly rite?
no effects and only ds-1..hmm not bad..now i know its possible.....
programming of the drums..equalizing (u realli master the art of it i guess), panning, effects, fading, limiting with nuendo to get good mix...alot of tweakings to be done in there........all that in an hour plus?...u're realli good..wa caya sama lu brader...
