DANDELIUM - Rebirth, remixed and modified.

[Erik Monsonis]

Hi!!

This is an old song I had lying around and decided to give it a facelift.
Drums are all S2.0 with kick replaced.
LeXTAC for guitars.
POD Farm for bass and cleans.
EWQLSOSilver for piano and horns.
LASS and EWQLSOGold for strings.

Cheers!

Sounds great!
What kick is that?

 

[thedonutman]

This sounds amazing. Is that the devildriver kick by any chance?

 

[diafebus]

the hihat section sounds ultra robotic...
the rest sounds amazing as most of your recordings

 

[Mago]

Sounds great, esp. the orchestral passages!

the guitars could come up a bit imo

Thanks guys!!

Yep, that's it.

thats the SD 2.0 snare?? wow thats sounds really good man ! and the kick sound awesome!
now i have to try out the devil driver kick again and see what i can do...

good mix as usual Erik!

 

[Nuno Filipe]

The riff that comes at 1:37 has a weird drum pattern. All the rest is great, the orchestral arrangement is really good. Good mix too.

Erik would it be possible to share exactly how you got that incredible heavy guitar tone?? I absolutely love it!!!

 

[Josh Burgess]

Speaking of the Devildriver kick, is that still hosted anywhere?

It's pretty cool how you manage to have a very similar sound with so many different amp sims/drum samples; yet its not a repetitive sound because you ARE using different samples/sims, its more of your own sound being imprinted on the songs. GJ. Do you mind sharing what you do to the snare? It doesn't sound OVERcompressed and it works well on the ghost notes.. are you using envelopes and/or gates to get just the attack?

Hoooooowever. Can't say I'm digging the guitars, they've got this kinda nasally characteristic to them. Too djenty for the music.

And you need to work a bit more on your programming. The drums (especially that hihat) are not very realistic at all. And the piano, and some of the strings (esp at 3:00) sound really programmed.

Drums are too dry.

But other wise diggity as fuck brah

[eternally_gutted]

Sorry, I just put some plugins on top of the compressor. If you look at the left of the first GClip, you'll see a bit of the SSL Comp.

Tone @ 10 :zombie:

 

[jnaz1]

Yeah, I really liked the guitar tone. Would love to know how you got it. When I reproduce your settings it sounds like poo-poo.

any chance to see your master bus chain?
