1st Post: Old School Punk (poppy)

Have a meager setup, but would like some criticism.

I thought you did a good job, especially if it's a 'meager' setup. I'd be curious to know what you're considering a 'meager' setup. If it's getting you the sound/mix you need, then I wouldn't worry about it anyway ;-)

My setup is iMac, Presonus Firepod, Guitars are Guitar Rig 3 with mic'd up crappy fender amp for leads. Drums are Cad GLX1200 SDC's for overheads and sample layering with Kitcore. How do I get a less boxy sound? I'm tired of the lo-fi type sound I'm getting. EQ just doesn't seem to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds pretty good to me! I like the drum and guitar sounds, and the singing style fits the music well.

I found your choice of subject matter funny - wasn't punk originally, in part, a reaction to prog-rockers singing about dungeons & dragons, wizards, and such like.

Three comments:

1. There is a really long silent gap at the end.

2. At around 1:04, there is about half a second, where the it just sounds ever slightly odd. I'm not if it's the choice of chord, or or a deliberate effect, but it really stands out. I'm not sure it's a bad thing, but I don't know if that's what you intended.

3. A bit short?
