Children of Bodom - Cover Thread

[<Arcane>]

huh... it's nearly the same sound I have. but you've played it a bit fast, or?

 

[Corny]

I didn't contribute to the thread so far because I'm not really interested in covering bodom all the time. But Arcane's idea is good and I hope you don't mind that I join with a different guitar:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/yyzyo7

Ibanez RG 2820 (Prestige Series obviously)
Bolt-on neck
DiMarzio/Ibanez passive humbucker

My thoughts are, that the basic sound is not so far away from your active pickups, but that it needs more gain to sound cranked. That's why I like passive pick ups, by the way.
All in all, the settings didn't really fit that guitar.

Maybe I should give the PX4D a second chance, I record with my Toneport all the time.

 

[<Arcane>]

Nice to see another person with a Korg. Corny's, reaperscythe's and my recording got nearly the same sound I think but Mitch - you break a bit out of column.
Anyone else here with a Korg?
And would it be to much work for you guys to record it again but with the settings which fits best for you and tell me the settings?

Here'S mine again: http://www.sendspace.com/file/vr58up

Settings:

Gain: 5.0
Bass: 8
Treble: 10
Dyn: Phasout 2.7
Amp: US MDN 10
Cab :2 x 12 BLK 6.0

Toneport here. (UX2)

 

[children of COB]

Korg AX1500G here. And I agree with Arcane that all recordings sound really similar but Mitch's a bit over the others, I supose that's because of his soundcard.

 

[_Nazgul_]

I have a Korg PX4D too. But you shouldn't forget that we all don't have the same soundcards in our PCs. Mitch's automatically sounds better/cleare etc because he has a PRO Soundcard.

 

[marfal66]

Thought there was a built in soundcard in toneport

 

[FossilMerrick]

Hmm, I think I need to get a new soundcard for my PC, as this one sucks!

 

[Corny]

Yes, the toneport is an interface with inbuilt recording card and it's not worse than Mitch's soundcard. IIRC, Mitch doesn't have a PRO soundcard, but a recording soundcard.

Mitch's solo tone sounds simply great because of his fingers. He has a great vibrato and a good playing feeling in general, that's what many people forget.

 

[<Arcane>]

I tried the Intro of IYF and LDB but I think I suck. And to bad that it's out of sync after converting into mp3.

In Your Face Intro
Living Dead Beat

 

[FossilMerrick]

Not too bad Arcane! Shame about the syncing problem! Still, after the intro of LDB you wouldn't really know if it was you playing, or the band!

 

[<Arcane>]

Yeah, I'm pretty much satisfied with my tone. I think it's nearly perfect now. Well, I will install Reaper tomorrow and record it again to see if it'S a software or a Vista problem.

 

[FossilMerrick]

Ahh right, I've got vista, but I just think my laptop decides when it does or doesn't want to record properly..


New ROTW tonight

 

[orb]

If this is ok with you Orb?

Yeah sure thanks for the reupload, sendspace wasn't working for me.

And yeah you hit the nail on the head, it's based off of midnight madness.

Hey guys, inspired by flappy's wrath within ROTW recording, I just recorded a full cover of wrath within! Easily one of my favorite cob songs.

Check it out and tell me what you think

 

[Flappy]

Nice one dude!
Some mistakes here and there but very good!

Thanks man! Yeah I find it hard to record a full video take including solo without any mistakes... at least when doing just an audio cover you can do it in multiple takes, like have the song as 1 take and the solo as another take, etc. When you have to record the whole thing as one long recording... I dunno maybe I just psych myself out or lose concentration ;P

 

[FossilMerrick]

Nice one Orb, good to see you keep a nice, tidy room too... Haha!

Hahahaha it's like a bomb went off in here. I'm at college and an inspection was just done 2 days ago and they say I have to get rid of all the trash lol cause I failed the inspection ^_^

I think almost everyone has it
It's pretty amazing if you have been playing for only 16 months.
