5150 and Krank Revolution blended

[MetalSound]

Just did a production where I tried to blend the 5150 with the Revolution Series One.
I recorded the 5150 the "normal" way and later reamped the signal with the software tube screamer into the Krank. Then I blended in the Krank signal just a little. It sounded fine.
I just had to struggle with phasing so I moved the Krank signal a little bit until it "fitted".

Here is the result:

sounds sweet through my macbook speakers but they dont do it much justice im sure, i'll hook up later and give it a proper listen

Sounds like Engl Powerball.

Sounds like Engl Powerball.

that was mean!

but I agree there's something weird in the mids...
it doesn't sound bad though, actually diggin it. the song sounds good as well...so do the drums

guitars could use a little bit more air, they sound a little muffled. i would also recommend auto tune, which i hate to say cause he's not a bad singer (not my favorite style though). but there are a few noticeable flat notes here and there.

Haha! So now we know how Engl made them...

I was just experimenting with reamping the same signal and running two amps for one performance. I found it quite interesting cause it isn´t the "typical" modern metalcore sound.

The voice is already autotuned....
He is definetely more convincing in screams and growls than in singing notes.

 

[paladin shredder]

well... you may check out melodyne then. i find it easier to work with than auto tune, you can fix individual notes and make it sound much more natural.

 

[MetalSound]

I guess I just have to deal with the graphical mode in autotune. I only use the auto mode because it´s faster and time is money.

Maybe I´ll check out melodyne some time.

hum, I'm not sure. the gtrs are sort of muffled lacking any bite.

I think the guitars need to be eq'd to sound bigger and brighter. Too dark. I like the voice just sounds a little too dry in the mix. Seems like it is not part of the song. I think the voice is good and with different fx, eq it would sit better. The singer's tunage is not bugging me just the fact that the singing doesnt sit in the mix to my ears. Otherwise really good!

with different fx, eq it would sit better.

I think you are right. Maybe I´ll take out some high mids so it´s fitting more into the mix. But they wanted the vocals as loud like that...

Maybe I´ll even brighten up the guitars a little bit when I find the time. Thanks for your input!

Just made a quick update:

Version2

Do you think it´s better?

 

[nwright]

2nd version sounds better to me. Cool tone.

 

[MetalSound]

Thanks!
Anybody else?

 

[jauernis]

2nd one sounds a lot better!! Try lowering the vocal just a lil bit more so that it sits in mix better? Also make the song a bit bigger still (not sure how maybe bass and kick need to punch more through?), I think this a great song!

Edit ooops i just saw you have to keep the vocals that loud! maybe throw an fx doubler on there as well?
