A quick clip with my Schecter 007BJ & Powerball

[Torniojaws]

Finally got all my new gear (Behringer Truth B2030A & M-Audio Audiophile 2496) sorted together into recording form, and here's a quick clip I made:

It's still a bit dark, but I'm sure I'll get better now that I have at least decent gear for proper mixes now

Shure SM57 -->
Behringer MX602A -->
Audiophile -->
Sony Acid 4.0 Pro

 

[KeithRT99]

nice, very heavy.

 

[Hopkins-WitchfinderGeneral]

engls are slightly dark anyway, but they're more rich too.

 

[jamesboyd]

man that sounds really cool, post the whole song

I really like the smooth nature of engls, and of course the low end rules :Spin:

Is this the new powerball or the older version, and what was the cabinet and guitar chain?

 

[EtherForBreakfast]

Tornio - I have Behringer 2031A monitors.

This is a might fine sounding mix, man. For real.

Nice job.

 

[Torniojaws]

It's the original Powerball (I've had this baby for 1,5 pleasurous years ), with the Engl 2x12" Vintage cab (Celestion V30)

 

[jamesboyd]

ah cool, yeah the midrange is great so v30's make sense.

do you have any recordings done in bands(and at studios) with the powerball?

the majority of clips out there obviosly don't do this thing justice

 

[Torniojaws]

I have one studio recording, but it hasn't been released yet (7" with my grindcore band). Can't post clips yet, but I will when possible.

 

[JeffTD]

Goddamn that's orgasmic... I have that identical mixer, and that doesn't sound bad at all. I have the same soundcard, too. I need to grab an SM57, soon.

 

[EtherForBreakfast]

DSS3 - I'm pretty sure there is more to the mix than having a powerball, same sound card, and an SM57. =)

Tornio - The clip you posted, is it still a work in progress composition wise, or can you post what you have of the entire tune so far? I'd really like to hear it.

I tell ya, I've yet to hear a bad Powerball clip when in the right hands. Those things impress the hell out of me.

 

[JeffTD]

Oh I know, the mix is great, but I was referring to the guitar tone.

 

[Torniojaws]

EtherForBreakfast: it's just a single riff I made for a for-fun riff competition on a Finnish musicians' forum. I'm currently working on a full song for my other band Vortech

 

[kelch]

Ah yeah, that was great... sounded BIG...

Is that a backing track? If so, where did you get it?

 

[Fabbio]

I like very much the tone!!!

Maybe the drums are too underwatery.

But definitely a good heavy guitar sound!!!

It's amazing how the tecnology allow us to obtain such good recordings nowadays!!! I remember when a small reharsal tape would sound like a mess of indistinguishable things....

Sounds good... but was slightly 'crackly' on my headphones. Perhaps its slightly in the red?

Everything is made by me.

It's at 0.0 dB. There might be slight artifacting from the mp3 compression.

 

[Disconnekt]

Man, I had to dig deep to find this one again, but I have some questions for you, Torniojaws. I really like this sound, and I'm curious about precisely how you got it. So...

Is this the vertical slant Engl 2x12 with V30s or the horizontal one?

If it's the slant, which speaker did you mic?

Is that just one 57 or more than one, and how did you position the mic relative to the speaker and the grille?
