Check my mix & song - mechanical metal from outer space!

[DominikJW]

Hey guys!

I wrote this song some time ago and been able to record it recently. How is the mix working? How do you like the tune anyway?

Also available to listen on my myspace profile: http://www.myspace.com/utarefsonmusic

There are two guest solos by my friends: Lord Awesomeguy (middle part) and Quatroo (ending part). Thanks a lot guys!

Fuck man, that some serious riffage in there. Love that riff that comes in at 30 seconds! I can't comment on the mix much as I'm listening through laptop speakers, but I really dig that guitar tone. What's the guitar signal chain?

 

[Unavailable]

Awesome riffing and a great guitar tone. I'm not really liking the overheads/cymbals. The crashes sound like splashes (tiny). Everything else sounds pretty spiffy!

 

[DominikJW]

Thanks guys!

Guitar chain: Jackson DK2T (Merlin Hellfire bridge pu) quad tracked 80/100 - Revalver MK3 demo/PODxt live. Plus some postprocessing in Cubase (eq, C4 etc.).

 

[BrettT]

Care to share those Revalver settings??

 

[DominikJW]

Sure thing Brett.

Since I'm using the demo version it's only an amp preset, you will have to activate the 6505+ in Rev and click "L" on it to load it. The impulse was Recabinet demo 1.02 'Ghandi 412 6L6 i5 edge45' loaded thru Sir 1.

 

[BrettT]

Thank you kind sir! Been listening to this track a lot. I've been kinda sick of all the djenty stuff, but this sounds really fresh.

 

[DominikJW]

Great to hear it dude! I don't usually get much feedback so it's good to know that my efforts don't go to waste completely

 

[hkollner]

Hey dude can you PLEASE post you pre processing and or all processing with screen shots of your chain! that would be awesome! dude i love the song as well as the tone!

did you use the sneap C4 preset? or did you mod it? if so can you post your setting too

 

[DominikJW]

No prob man, but I have to warn you because Im a totall ignorant when it comes to mixing, so some of the settings might be completely rubbish I'm trying to tweak it to sound decent but since I'm not a producer/engineer/whatever it does not always end well...

For the POD track (which is actually 3/4 of the overall guitar sound, the Rev tracks are just to fill some frequencies and add some meat to it)

thanks a lot for preset man.
how do you record pod tone? usb or via pod-interface-pc?
some info.

 

[DominikJW]

I record the di's thru POD's usb (Hardware settings/Send clean guitar), then I tweak the tone and finally reamp it (Send reamp playback).
