    i get bored and make stupid shit

    its cool. i like the backdrop of monotony in the one section, which is nicely contrasted with some space & ambience, then picks up motion to the final section...if you know what i mean.

    coffee break on guitar...

    played humbuckers all my life, never owned a strat. but this one seems to have a really meaty sound. TS= tube screamer or pickups?? I prefer to play with a drummer or instruments like the Korg on combi mode (synth/drums). The click track for some reason.. i don't like it but for this song have...

    coffee break on guitar...

    i've gone the other way here instead of studio mp3's this is practice rehearsal to recorded on a video cam (i used two). first drop D genre piece i've written, since all other music i've played over the years is now friggin' obsolete!! ( bands like Rush sounds like soft rock) i wrote this as if...

    Deatcore mix really nice riffs

    OK i see quantize refers to a time base correction. Went to youtube pro tools. Create click track and and attempt to line it all up? I think if you get the vocals to sit right in the mix and fix your tom issue you are probably good to go for 99% of the population. What are you using for...

    Deatcore mix really nice riffs

    I like the guitars. drums are clear, mix is balanced. The higher screamer is cool The main vocal sounds a lot like a band my sons played alongside. Yeah if you think it needs a change-up, you could try some effects. I found that EQ' based effects like "telephone" or "dirty amp" something like...

    Does Joey ever use a bottom snare mic?

    Look at getting a Behringer ADAT ADA8000 - 8 inputs, with phantom power for like $150 plugs right into the back of the RME FF800 using Adat cable. Gave me like 12 mic pre's total + the extra ins - i run the non super criticals through there the toms anything that is augmented (snare, kick...

    Tracking guitars

    Good $hit that song. What's the background on it? Did my volume test where I drop the gain to barely audible and I hear too much of the guitars - for me. PS i figure a guitarist will tend to mix the axes high because they stand in front of the amps. Another thing (I did with our CD) was...

    Asking Alexandria - Reckless and Relentless

    My car has stereo, 3 CH (center speaker) and Dolby 5 one. I like the Dolby the best. It does bass freq from rear speakers, time compensated plus the center speaker sounds really good. The center is a mix of L&R. On Danny's vox I like his tone and I've always like the brit style. Versatile too...

    Asking Alexandria - Reckless and Relentless

    the magazine wants to be wrong esp when big sponsors are concerned!! AA are using Sommatone custom amps. At least that's what I saw roll onto stage in Vancouver ("OH FUCK" lol). Not that it matters, the tube amps are going to sound similar with their own personality of course. Back to the...

    Asking Alexandria - Reckless and Relentless

    Yeah trolling around in the SUV the other day and the vox are up front on Stand up and Scream but they carry the songs and that's OK by me. First time I heard that record I liked the mix I think your ears compensate, never a mistake to have vox there.... Even take it all the way down and a good...

    Bad guitar tone from client

    further ..... what I suggested is building a tone control with 3 total tracks (bass/mid/treble) - but using delay & pan positions so the ear perceives them as unique sources. Tried it and it works great. I have 3 tracks here off one Line6 Spider amp recorded a few days ago. I had to compress the...
