what's that low end farting noise? Sounds like guitars are done in guitar pro.

Guitars are real.. I just decided to fart along. Good ears!

Did you autotune the guitars are something? This doesn't sound like any guitar I've ever heard in my life.

Anyways, I like all of the crazy vocal shit as usual, they just need to be made a bit clearer in the mix. The guitar/bass tone aren't working for me though.

Guitars are real? More like REAL FAKE.

Here's how I did the guitars.
Guitar Pro tab > Export Midi > Electri6ity > POD Farm

It sounds easy enough but it was a pain in the balls since the guitars of the song are 7 strings, while Electri6ity supports 6 string guitars alone.
Anywhere other notes besides the scope of the 6 strings goes into the "keyswitch" area of Electri6ity.
They do bad things for those without midi controllers. Every time I played the guitars back and a keyswitch was activated, I basically had to reload Electri6ity, which for some reason took quite a while.

Besides all that.. bass is Trilian
Drums are sampled, OHs are Superior
Vocals were recorded with an SM58 and MXL 990.. and in uncomfortable conditions, at that..

Haha, noo, look at my post above.

Well, hopefully the listeners with untrained ears will just assume it's tight-as-fuck playing.
None of my friends said anything about the guitars yet..

Maybe I need to just pick up a damn guitar and practice.

Gotta say I'm not really digging anything. :/
Sorry.

Sorry.

Me either.
No reason to be sorry!

Damn, I need to start referencing other mixes.

This sounds like SHIT
Going to rerecord some of the vocals and fix shit later.

And, I lied about farting along.. it's in the bass.

Oh my god it's actually you.
Wait, is it? The link's dead, so I wouldn't know.

 

[MaellaJohn]

Also, I'm sure you guys see where I could improve this mix. Could I get some pointers?

First off, the lead's delay is probably causing a lot of trouble. Same for the vocals' delay.
I need to make the bass not sound like one big fart.
I also need to make the rhythms more audible.

What else? There's gotta be a lot more that I can't think of!

 

[Scott Horner]

Seems like it would be easier just to perform the parts. I don't really see any way to improve a mix that sounds like a 1998 Nokia ringtone other than re-track with actual instruments. It's very tricky to get artificial guitars to sound real.

 

[Lon]

i could play some of the instruments if you'd be interested (guitar and bass, only DI, i suck at guitartones)

 

[MaellaJohn]

Scott, I agree with what you said.
Since it's really only a cover, I didn't bother doing excessive humanizing. Shit, it started out as just a vocal cover but I thought it'd be cooler to have a full instrumental.

And Lon, thanks for offering but it's nothing worth taking your time.

I'll see if I can't get it sounding any better at all.

 

[MaellaJohn]

Okay, I fixed a few things and I think it's sounding a lot better. I'm satisfied so I don't feel like working on it any more since it's only a cover.

I uploaded it with the same name as my latest mix before this so it replaced that one. Oh well :O
