What Ribbons & Mic Pre were used

First of all my compliments, I like it very much. Nice played, nice sound.

How was it setup and what equipment was used?

Superb

The Recording is amazing!!!!! Musicianship is not that bad either!! :)
I would say from a mix perspective the lead guitar should come down just a tad, I realize whats trying to be achieved here.... But it has this weird phase issue where I feel the lead is being played in another room...
Over all, this is really really good!!!

Oh yeah Ecktronic, how the hell can you master from an MP3? LOL

lol.
Mastering can be done from any format.
What do you think of my master compared to the original mix?
I feel I made it alot more professional sounding by bringing more life to it.

I actually feel that the "mastered" version has a significant improvement. What did you use? The original recording is nice, though, good job.

Cheers Paul.
I digitally mastered it in Wavelab.
I used EQ to bring out the frequencies I felt would improve the overall sound, and I used EQ to cut the problem frequencies to clean up the mix.
I also used a small amount of compression, about 2dB of.

I finally applied an L2 to bring the overall volume up a bit and then applied normal dither at 16bit (in L2).
When I master I try to use as little plug-ins as possible to try and keep a more organic sound.
