Brake Squeal Question

Whats up guys, I know their are a lot of threads about people that have loud brake squeal which is what I have. BUT, I know i installed them correctly and I bedded them in correctly. Also used a TON of anti Seize on the pads which are Hawk HPS by the way.
My Question is, when I bought my car for some reason the orig owner decided to take it to Les Schwab to completely redo the brakes. So my brakes have been squealing before I replaced the pads, I just thought it was the cheap pads that Les Schwabs used. So I replaced those, but now the squeal is just as loud now if not louder than before, so could the rotors be the cause of the problem? I've heard about guys that had these pads and after like 600 miles they quite down?

thats the exact stuff i used. I even took the pads back out and put more on, lol. I really think its the rotor but I just want to make sure a rotor CAN be the cause of a squeal.
If it can be I have a deal for a front set of slotted Rotoras for $194 for the pair.

Just get some CRC brake squeal. Just drench the back of the pad and let dry for 10 minutes and intall them back on.

I have hawks too and they are noisy. Once I took out th pads and gave them a nice coating of strawberry jam and they are quiet now.
