D20 - Rickets (With Vocals)

[D20]

Hey everyone,
Well i just got myself a Shure Sm7b mic not too long ago and decided to try it out on this Deftones track. Hopefully i don't sound horrible.....

Guitars were Axe Fx: FAS Modern with German and Cali cabs
Bass was two tracks: Axe Fx/Ampeg SVX
Drums were Superior 2.0

I'd love to hear if you think my vocals are good or bad or any other comment about the song!!!

Well, I love your mix colleague

and vocals are super fine for me!

maybe a tad high on the strongest parts, but OK anyway IMO

ahh the ever reliable SM7B !!!!.... ...... it rocks all the way!

hey, would you mind sharing some details of the mix?

for example, the preset of Superior 2.0 sounds amazing! .. I wish you could share it: P

cheers dude, keep it up

 

[Estudio Blost]

mmmmmm....forgot it...

I'll also suggest a little more volume on guitars and bass, ....just a bit more, that's all

Thanks for listening and commenting!

This is the first thing i have really tried to record my own vocals on. I love the SM7B though!

As for the drums, i used the avatar maple snare, a kick from the metal foundry, and the toms and cymbals were all 2.0. most of the processing is done in cubase though. Mainly just eq and compressing.

Hope this helps. Thanks again!

Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare drum.

And the screamed vocals are also way too loud. Other than that sounds good.

 

[ahjteam]

the mix overall is pretty dark, I tried this and it became a lot closer to the deftones version, but the snare needs a lot more snap...

- Waves Q4, low shelf 215hz -6dB, hishelf 7khz +6dB, 175hz -5dB, 1khz -3dB
- Waves Rvox, Comp -13dB
- Waves C4, otherwise default except: crossovers 100 2000 11900, gains +4.9, 0, +5.5, +6.3, lomid bypassed

Listening back i hear what you mean. I always have trouble balancing the snare to the mix because i want to make sure it cracks through!
