    Dynamics on guitar DI's...

    This is exactly wat I thought. I was convinced that maybe he had some pre setup on the pod farm but he says no

    Johnny Lokke - Promises and Lies (Help)

    Yea I think that sounds better. The kick is still overpowering. You might want to put a fairly wide eq curve at 100 hz and drop it about 3 db. And also I cant tell if the bass sounds better or not. Maybe a narrow cut at 120hz, try 5 db and see if it gives you more room in the mix. Its hard to...

    Johnny Lokke - Promises and Lies (Help)

    The guitars are real phasy but Im assuming thats the effect your going for. The lead in the second one sounds much better. The bass guitar needs to come forward a bit. Try boosting the bass a bit somewhere between 1kh-2khz maybe. Snare could use some cuts at around 100-200 hz And Maybe a cut...

    Dynamics on guitar DI's...

    Yea but the clip you just posted sounds ALOT more like my DI's than the original you gave me. Only difference is it sounds like your pickups are kissing the strings too much... But still there should be a way to get dynamics back in my DI's I just dont know how

    Ugh, its bullshit. His tone has so much pump to it. I cant even find a way to recreate in with plugins.

    Dynamics on guitar DI's...

    We are both using POD xt's. Same gauge picks. I tried moving the pickup as close as possible to the string but it honestly made it worse. Sounded like there was a hard limiter on the guitar

    Hmm I will have to look into that. I just tried it out and it increased the attack but for my low notes only.

    Dynamics on guitar DI's...

    LOL whats funny is I actually did match tone my di to his di. thats how i became positive it was the dynamics and not the tonal shape of the di. How could a transient designer help??? I have the SPL transient designer

    Dynamics on guitar DI's...

    I know and that is what is so frustrating. I am playing as hard as I possibly can, so much to the point that I cant play longer than 15 seconds because my arms wants to fall off. We are using the same strings/gauge and my strings are brand new. I have tried moving the pickup height but no...

    Ok so in the tone matching thread that Clark Kent started someone posted a tone that was awesome. Now the tone itself wasnt what is awesome IMO but the dynamics of the tone. The forum member was using POD Farm. Here is the tone... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22950750/Tone%20test%202.mp3 After...

    Strange Sound on Guitars?

    Agreed. Sounds like someone was moving a narrow band eq with alot of gain up and down. What DAW I have had issues where a daw would automate things that I never automated. Maybe there is an automated eq somewhere in there.

    Trilian Bass Module

    I liked either picked modern a or b. But the problem with trilian is that there isnt one module that has the right combo of pick attack and low end IMO. I found myself combining different modules on several occassions. My best advice would be use it in context and then decide. Play the track you...

    URGENT: Reamping

    Can someone explain to me how it not being hot enough can be the problem. Cant you just increase the gain somewhere else???

    Smooth distortion tone presence

    Yea I know, ive made cuts all over the place. But the thing im really asking here is if that tone can be attributed to really good eq'ing or if there is some kind of saturation smoothing or other post production technique
