Black Dahlia Cover (WIP)

[dani]

hey guys, been making progress on what a horrible night to have a curse. i've made the drums sound much more like the original recording, but i've slightly fubar'd the guitar sound. oh, and there's a HUGE fuck up in the middle of playing, i do it twice :/ (the first one caused the second one) but this was more about the sound, and not the quality of playing.. (that's my excuse!!)

anyways, let me know what you think!

dude back off the limiter a bit...

 

[dani]

hmm.. i don't know what's going on, the first lot i done were waay crushed, but i didn't think this was too far at all?

clearly it is, but what's more worrying is why i can't hear it!

thanks,

It's got a little too much low end as well. The character of the guits is fairly close though.

Ok, less limiting, not done anything about bass yet.

i honestly have to say, this sounds the same as the last one, to me at least.. :/

What you using for drums? The cymbals sound really fake, guitars sound good though!

 

[dani]

its superior 2.0, dunno whats up with the cymbals, they do indeed sound not so real.. heh.

the guitars are revalver, and a tad of EQing! i don't like having long complex chains for the guitar sound (even though, done right, they sound awesome!), besides, i don't really know what i'm supposed to be trying to achieve when you start putting Q's and multiband compressors before the amp modeler.. probably why i suck at recording! haha.

thanks,

Id say try filtering out some lows on things that don't need them.

I'd increase the snare volume the drums can never sound too loud if u aks me.... in fact most death metal would sound awsome with just drums and vox lol...

Use more room mics on the Sym bails
