Hi!! I'm at my parents home at the moment, so, no monitors to mix. I'm mixing on a shitty 10 headphones that are tearing in pieces :zombie:. I used my templates but i couldn't check everything as I ussually do, so there can be some problems with lowend.
As I'm not at my place I couldn't use my loved Caparison to record guitars, so I had to use my Ibanez. It doesn't suck, but it's not the same thing, and plus, It doesn't have my loved Floyd Rose
So! after all the QQing, the song:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/425433/Dandelium - Prophecy.mp3
Now, I tell you all how did I record this:
·Drums:
Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0
I used the EZ Drummer last kick in the list (can't recall names now) with the S2.0 interface, as an XDrum.
-Kick and snare are heavily processed in my DAW (Sonar 7) with lots of Waves, Sonnox and TC plugins.
-The toms just have compression and some EQ
-The OH tracks had a High-Pass filter at 400hz, and a gentle boost between 800 and 1.5KHz. Nothing else
-Ambient mics were sent to the same OH bus, so same HP filtering and shit.
All the drums were sent to a master drum bus with some compression and EQ to boost the low frequencies, so it can pump a bit the master bus as we like nowadays.
·Bass:
I used this bass thru this PodFarm preset
Then I added a lot of compression and some EQ to remove rumble (350hz)
Nothing else to it... pretty simple setup.
·Guitars:
My Ibanez SA (EMG81) thru Revalver MKIII, with this setup: PIC
Revalver MkIII Module presets.
So the chain is: GUITAR > REV MKIII > WAVES C4 > EQ1 > EQ2 > MASTER
I use Andy's settings on C4 (thanks dude!!)
And credits to GuitarHack for the impulse!! (ThisOne)
·Orchestra/Synths:
I used EWQLSO Silver and Gold, because only the Silver has the piano and organ, and the strings I like are on the Gold only.
Synths were done with Spectrasonic's Atmosphere and ReFx Vanguard.
Now, time for criticism and suggestions please!!
Best wishes.
