No, but with my shitty soundcard if I get more gain it sounds like shit. My rythm parts always have 4 gutiars, because if not they'd sound way too weak cos I have to play with gain at 3,

If I had that many guitars I would have one in A#, one in C#, one in D and one in C

 

[<-Warheart->]

Nazgul has 2 guitars, I think.

[_Nazgul_]

You have 4 guitars and none of them is in D? DO you have them all in E or do you have each guitar in weird tunings?

I do have 4 guitars. Both USA ones that I got in the past few weeks came to me perfectly set-up with low action, no buzz adn tuned to E...so I'll keep them like for some time.

Grover Jackson Dan Spitz sig is currently without any pickups or anything, I'm slowly building it back up....I shielded all the cavities with the copper shielding tape today .
The other Grover Jackson, 24 fret, is in D, but desperatly needs a string change, don't play with it much lately.

 

[Altitudes]

Okay, so here's the videos that I recorded today. There's 9 that I'm happy with showing. Most of them have silly mistakes all over the place because I wasn't worrying too much about perfection, but just hitting the strings hard and having a good time with it all.

Watch the end of BANNED FROM HEAVEN, I break a string.

Nice! Are you going to attempt the solo? Give it a go, it's easier than what it seems (not to get it perfectly clean but to do something ok).

Ok then, now I understand.

Alright, well if you want more critiques I'd say that you should make an effort to bring out your vibrato more, especially when hitting pinch harmonics. Un-vibrato'd pinches can sound pretty dull. This is referring to your Banned From Heaven cover.

Really nice cover, since you want to be criticized, here it goes:
-you can improve on the pinch harmonic parts, your doesn't ring out and not sustain much.
-need more distortion on rhythm part to give it a more thrash sound.
That's just my opinion. Great cover though.

 

[children of COB]

^Thanks! The pinch harmonics will be easy to improve, but the distortion isn't actually my fault but my computer's fault, If I play with the distortion value over 3/10 it makes cracks and pops and sounds shit, so what I do to try and give it some punch is record four rythm guitars for each track, and I pan 100% left 2 and 100% right the other two, and that's the way I get the better sound.

@eveningninja:Ok dude. I'll work on that. Not today because Blooddrunk intro freaked me out and pissed me off so fucking much that I'm not trying to record anything else today,

I might go to the gay way and record the 4 passages of the intro separatedly because I always fuck up something if I try to play them all together,

I will try.

 

[children of COB]

Hell yeah! You can't do it worse than me, I completely fucked up the last run, so go for it,

 

[reaperscythe]

I already recorded the rhytm guitar but I didn't learn the solo yet...so I'll post tomorrow

 

[<Arcane>]

I think reaperscythes version of BFH is the best atm...

 

[RedSGShredder]

Hey Mitch nice videos!

 

[eveningninja]

If you want I can record sth. with my HZ and then with my S&D with the same settings. Then you can see for your self the difference...

I don't mean to sound pushy, but did you ever get a chance to do this?

 

[<Arcane>]

ja ja, I'm going to install my S%D today...

 

[children of COB]

Looking forward man!

I think reaperscythes version of BFH is the best atm...

Yep. BTW, are the rythm guitars loud enough in my new version?

 

[<Arcane>]

Haven't checked it out atm. Sendspace sucks!

 

[children of COB]

Ok then. If it's still not working tell me and I'll re-upload it tomorrow if Mitch doesn't pop in and add it to Soundclick before.
