Here's a little piece of something I wrote, recorded and mixed to demonstrate some of the things I can do behind the kit and on the desk.

My submission for the Gearfest Mixing contest.
I've been working on this since early May, this is my first & only submission.

I mixed this in Cubase 6.0.2 using the default factory plugins and some Waves Audio plugins. Audio was referenced using Mackie MK8mk2 8" monitors through a tascam US-1800 interface.

I found this track difficult to mix; drumwise, the lack of tom mics was challenging but I limited & compressed the overheads hard to bring the toms out more.
The hi hat & cymbal spill in the snare channel was good - I found the panning of the overheads helped to accommodate this spill & balance things out nicely.
I used both tracks of the bass and automated the DI channel to be distorted in the fuller sections. It's subtle, but the bass is quite prominent at the same time.
I copied the guitar track & panned it hard to both sides. I eq'd them both differently and added & automated plugins to add some color. 
Vocals were challenging because of the dynamics and I didn't want to compress them too much. I added a touch of reverb which has been automated too.
There's a fair bit of effect automation through the entire song, it's subtle, but I'm sure that some of you will be able to pick us where & what changes.
I put a limiter on the master which has brought the volume up a bit too.

This has been an enjoyable experience and the challenge was paramount - I mix metal/hardcore music normally, my sessions are usually very different so I hope you enjoy my mix.
Thanks!
