Thanks for the nice feedback! To compare the 100B with the Axe, I plugged the Axe into the FX-Return of the XTC. It was amazing! Of course, the power amp adds some color as well, but I was really surprised how similar they sound.
I will post the patches next weekend, currently I'm not at home so I can't access them. The patches are basically the Ecstasy with two cabinets. The rhytm guitars are recorded 3 times - 2x bridge humbucker panned left and right, and one neck singlecoil in the middle. The guitars were recorded toally dry, during the mix I added a little delay and room.
Actually that was the 2nd mix I ever did, usually I give it to engineers who know what they are doing
It's mixed and recorded on my MacBook. I use ProTools LE with a MBox2, and have the T-RackS3 Deluxe Mastering/Mixing Suite from IK-Multimedia. It has some nice compressors and EQs. Drums are programmed with Addictive Drums. I think that is a good setup to do some nice sounding demos.
For monitors, I just use the ones from my stereo which I'm used to for about 15 years now. Then I'm listening on my notebook, and if that is ok, I burn a CD and go the living room where I have B&W speakers. They reveal everything. But the true final test is in my car!
