Clip and Scratch tracks added:
Clip: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=19525
Trax: https://files.getdropbox.com/u/1511344/ToneTest - Scratch Tracks.rar
NOTES:-
Tempo: 150
Each guitar track has 3 varieties:
POD: a good preset found on sevenstring.org and tweaked, based on a uberschall with a TS and a Treadplate 4x12
DI: dry track passed through the pod's usb (using the pod as an interface)
PreDI: I realise that the DI signal seems alittle dull so i tried to bring up the volume and a little eq using the vocal preamps of the podx3live
The bass tracks are simply DI recorded - you'll have to pitch shift them and use effects
Post processing in the track - simply a high and low pass on guitars at 12,000Hz and 200Hz, a low pass at 160Hz on bass and a 3db bump at about 1500Hz & for drums, some compression, a tad bit
eq and a 3db high shelf from 5000Hz for some sheen (i think) on the drum mixdown
Hope you guys can do something awesome with this stuff so that i have some hope..
hey guys
now i'm really getting desperate (read depressed) about the tones i am getting
i have a fairly crappy axe and a podx3live. now i donot know what the problem is but the tones that i am recording are abit(lot) less than inspiring...
will post clips soon but i dunno what to do..
chain:-
guitar - pod - computer through usb
i tried soloC, NC7170, NC8505, Rev3demo but just have not gotten where i want (which is at least decent)
my di's sound worse that the ones i've heard here.. they're all done on the pods
now im outa cash aswell so if i had to look at a redraw of my setup id need what, a DI and an interface? what would work nicely for the lowest amount possible (for now)
is there anyway to salvage the pod's use as a di?
i remember i saw a thread in the rate section where someone used simply an esp ec50 (agathis body) with stock pups into amp sims and had an awesome sound.. different than what i would go for but awesome none the less.. i'm sure my guitar - a douglas (from rondo, same guys who make agiles) with an alder body and a emg81 in bridge can sound at least as good as that..
i just want some hope... can all that i have really be that bad when ppl with similar gear can get great tones, and mixes (an entire diff topic)
hope someone can show me the light

EMGs react to different woods just like any other pickup.
