Agile Septor 827/Revalver/Metal Machines - How'd i do?

[Our Fallen Lords]

Hey..

So i've just gotten a new guitar to start my project with and i've been noodling round on it trying to get a few tones and things.

I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of this overall mix and if anything (and please tell me) can be done to improve it.

I'm kind of suckish at this stuff, so anything helps!

Thanks,

Chris.

I think the leads are too loud, the guitars could be brightened up and brought more to the front as well. I can't listen loud enough to critique the more fine details, but that's what I can tell right off the bat.

1. could be played tighter. nice proggy/djenty composition though!
2. make the guitars a bit brighter.
3. when the distored rythms come in they need to be way louder. then automate the cleans down to make them sit better in this section.
4. Change the release on the compressor so its not pumping so heavily.

is there a bass on this? I cant tell from my speaker set up...

Yeah i thought the leads may have been a tad too loud... I got lazy with it though, finished doing it at about 1am and thought it'll do.

I've got my drums with parallel compression and then i put the Waves V-Comp on the master bus, i'll try a compressor i have more control over.

As for the guitars, if there anything you can recommend for me to make them brighter? I did a Low Pass to about 7-8k i think, so that could be taken up more.

I'll end up re recording it, it was a late night thing and i was knackered haha! And there is bass there aye, the strings are dead as satan himself and yeah... I didnt automate much other than the fade-ins... XD

SO i got round to doing something quick while i had a break from doing stuff and this is what it is. not sure if it's any better but thats for you guys to decide

I removed the compressor from the master bus and then changed the Eq's and multiband compressors a bit on the guitars and automated the clean quieter, and lowered the lead.

thats definitely an improvement over the first. can you post a screen shot of your settings in revalver? i may be able to help better.. also are you using stock revalver ir's? you should try using mickrich 57api impulse that he posted here on the forums.

I'm about to leave for the weekend but i can post some updates on monday?

Im using the Catharsis High Pres IR, and the 6505+ Amp

Alrighty i'm back! and i got a picture of the EQ, Preset and Comp. It's in the order:

1. Revalver
2. ReaXcomp
3. Waves REQ 6 Band

And then heres a soundclip of just one of the guitars centered.

Kind of shamed about the quality of playing...

But it'll all get recorded better once i get the tone pretty good... I promise!

 

[ATLA]

try this: lows/4.5-6 mids 3.5-4 highs 5 gain 5-7
go get TSE ts808 and slap it before the amp try a setting like Gain-0 tone 12oclock balance 12 oclock
start with the eq hp at 70 and Lp at 10k. i would honestly drop the multiband.

 

[Our Fallen Lords]

Alrighty... I've did a few changes this time.

I changed the CAB to the 57api IR, and set it to some of the things recommended. Jiggled the EQ's a tad using the Systematic Mixing Guide (as a guide), and added the TSE808. Removed the Multiband and now i think it sounds better, but it's still kinda low endy... I dunno though.

Nevermind i lied, its too much low end in it... I think i might have to High Pass it more... :/

And maybe not cut anything out of the 6k region...

Gahh i suck!

As kind ad the offer is bud, it's all a learning curve myself to learn this with just some help rather than uaing presets!
