bring me the horizon and studio fredman

[kaomao]

did they record this over there or not? on blabbermouth it seems they recorded there! (link to blabber)
Strange enough, this sounds different than any fredman recording to date.
It's a good sounding clip I think, I'm not into the music, but the guitar sound is really good, too bad youtube destroyed the cymbals.

Yes, I believe both this and their last albums were done at Fredman with Nordstrom as producer...

EDIT: Personally, I thought the first album had some decent stuff, but I wasn't much impressed with the 2nd.. I doubt I'll like too much on this one either, but hey.. you never know.

-P

saw studiopics from the session; they were playing the haunted björlers old white caparison guitar

 

[Ermz]

For some reason I'm not really feeling any of it. The guitar tone feels like it makes the mix messy, and the music is woeful, but that should go without saying. Mind, that's just a youtube impression, I haven't heard the record lossless yet.

Naw, it's similar, but it's Jona Weinhofen's - he used to be in I Killed The Prom Queen, and was/is sponsored by Caparison. It's a white Angelus with 81's.

I was in studio fredman about 2 weeks ago, mastered some stuff and Henrik told me that they didnt use EMG 81 for their new album, although it was EMG 81 on sucide season which i attended to. I know henrik lurks around here so maybe he can fill in information on the latest record.

From what i remember they used the Fender EVH 5150 + another one, which i dont remember for suicide seasons. I think that massive tone comes allot from Lee's playing, he was an awesome guitarist, the best i have ever seen. And the fact that he uses very VERY thick strings. Up to 0.80 on big E, dont know exactly if he changes the string thickness when they change tuning but that would be the thickest he uses.

Yes we gotta hear the final lossless result.

EDIT: listening again, it seems youtube compressed a lot this one lol

 

[Backe]

love the sound! dunno if you guys have heard the other single from the upcoming album, called "It never ends", that shit fucking kicks ass! love the mix, drums sound organic and "scandinavian". alot of people are whining about it, but i think suicide season had plenty of "tact" and punch. still trying to achive that sound.

 

[DeclanWhite]

tact.. really? haha

 

[Brandon E.]

fredman yes, nordstrom no

 

[AllanD]

This mix sounds super dirty compared to SS.

 

[DeclanWhite]

it just sounds like a less polished version of suicide season to me

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

I've heard the whole album, it's better than Suicide Season, still doesn't spite up my interest though

 

[Rex Rocker]

Suicide Season was done in there too?! That might explain why it sounds so good, lol.

 

[HenrikUdd]

Nah, the white caparison was never played on the album.
We used Lee´s first act guitar with thick 0.80 E-string.

And yes it is a bit dirtier sounding then Suicide Season.

 

[JeffTD]

^^Cheers for weighing in on that! Does that mean the 81 was in fact used on this? Curious as to what amps/cabs/mics were used, the guitar tone is once again huge and awesome!

 

[DeclanWhite]

im curious what you guys do for bass..?

Thanks mate!
As Christian says above no 81:s was used, Lee had barelnuckle warpig mics on it.

We used an EVH 5150 mkIII, sent in to the poweramp of a 5150, EVH cab and an Engl cab. SM57 on/off on both cabs and an extra Peluso 2247LE on the main cab.
For rhytm Gtr 3-4, Used an Engl Savage 120 with similiar setup.
Kind of the same setup as for Suicide Season but we used an Ibanez guitar that time (whish I could remember which one)
Also Lee´s right hand is something I´d kill for. Around 2-3 punch ins per guitar track.

For bas we used an Ampeg rig and a D.I in to sansamp plugin. The ampeg was never used in the mix though.

 

[JeffTD]

Thanks much!

Hopefully you can clarify something for me, I've always wondered - when you guys (at Studio Fredman specifically) send one amp into the poweramp of another, do you mean that you attach the main cabinet to the normal output of the first amp, and the second cabinet to the output of the second amp? That is, in this scenario, the EVH cab was driven by the 5150III head, while the Engl cab was driven by the 5150's poweramp? What do you find this provides versus running both cabinets off one head?

No not really like that.
Connect the guitar to the main input of the main amp, this one goes out to one cab. Then on the back of the amp at the effects loop connect a cable from the "send" to the back of the slave amps effect loop "return" (in this case the 5150). This one goes out to a seperate cab. The only knobs that you can adjust on the slave 5150 now is the poweramps resonance and presence.
You get a different sound from the slave amp and in my opinion the tone gets a bit fatter when you blend theese 2 to together.
Hope that clarifies it better.
