Hey guys, long time no see! General question: How the hell do you guys keep your rhythm guitars from being too harsh and piercing in the upper mids and treble areas when using amp sims & impulses? I can eq it and make it better, but then it starts to sound dull and lifeless instead. I use the...

Hej Gävlebo! I'm gonna have a look at your videos some day in the (very) near future. :)

Yes.

Hey Kev. :) Last time I posted was november '09, the time before that was may '08...... :Smug:

I seem to remember Andy mentioned something about added reverb when he posted the samples several years ago.

Well, one of them did but I hit him even more with the Timeworks Compressor and then he was out flat. So what's new here?

My last post was May 11th, 2008. Then I decided I hate you all. No, kidding of course..... it was just that my "stuff to do" / "available time to do it" ratio got off the chart in a very wicked way. So I tried to reduce my forumnia. I still use EZdrummer by the way. :-D Not much have changed...

Oh god, is this thread still alive? :-D

Tried it. Can't get anything good out of it. Sounds like a fuzz box. It seems Revalver is still unsurpassed. But I still use my PODxt most of the time because I prefer a hassle free hardware solution over any software. Maybe I'm getting old.

Stock EZdrummer pop/rock with some additional eq+compressors: Kryptillusion - Frozen (pre prod demo)

Also, try to compare the pre/post recording sound using headphones instead of speakers/monitors. Sometimes the acoustic sound from your guitar & strings will blend nicely with the distorted mess you hear from your monitors, and create the illusion of a great guitar sound even though it's not...

Ezdrummer is a great tool, and it sounds decent as long as you stay away from the DFH expansion. I use the pop/rock kit for the Kryptillusion pre production demos. Sounds good enough for my needs. Listen here.

He mastered the last Storyteller album. It was ok, but nothing special. I wish I'd done it myself.

Because I can't play otherwise. I always always always use 6 string guitars, and tune Bb to Bb (normal intervals, no drop tunings). I've owned a couple of 7 strings, but never liked'em. Even though I practiced quite a bit, I always played better with 6 strings.
