what do you guys think?
------------------------------------------


just wanted to share a song that i did for a band called "retain".

its a mixture of lamb of god / linkin park / a perfect circle

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=885205&content=songinfo&songID=7894374

guitars :

PRS 24 Custom with Klopmann Pickups
Diezel Rinstein
Mesa Cab 2*12 V30
I 5 + E 906
1 Left 1 Right

bass was music man 2k $
i forgot the exact name of the model.. with 2 auxes
- 1 clean with the help of RBASS for more low end
- 1 distortion / gearbox diamondplate

vocal mic was as always my AT 4040 through my mindprint envoice mk II.

drums where played through an edrum directly into Superior 2.0
with added slate samples.

production was all me. all synths / programming
are standard cubase 5 plugins

also lots of automation. i did with the help of my new alphatrack frontier.
band let me do what i thought was necessary for the song
(you might call it overproduced... not yet sure. i liked the glitch-type fx i used, i think they really added to the vibe of the song).

plugins were mostly my UAD 2 Duo, which ran out of instances on this song, hehe. most eqing is SSL e 4000, compression mostly LA2A or 1176 LN.

and this is not yet mastered !

so what do you guys think ? any advice on the tone / mix / production ?

Ich komm aus barmbek-uhlenhorst
Wir proben in dem stinkenden Humboldstraßen bunker....
kennst du irgendwas wo man zu fairen konditionen proben/aufnehmen kann?
Bin schon seit jahren auf der suche nach was anderem....

 

[Splat88]

Sounds very nice Danny! How are you liking your UAD-card? I had one a few years ago and loved the LA2A and 1176, and now I see they have they Fatso out for the UAD2, so I may need to be an owner again soon.

matt ! thanks man ;-)

the uad is amazing. i got it a month ago and bought all the
plugins - and i dont wanna miss a single plugin !

you wont regret it ! i actually end up
using only uad plugins on most mixes, hehe.

the uad is worth its money only for LA2A, 1176 LN and the precision limiter.
but theres so much awesome sounding stuff - i think about getting
another uad2 quad!

 

[rlcramer]

This tune is awesome. I wish I had more to add, but all I can say is - GREAT track. Nice mix, nice vox, great tones, pretty damn flawless...

Bobby

 

[dcb]

thanks bobby! nice to hear you like it !

anyone think its overproduced? (or even underproduced?)

 

[TimPio]

jut wie immer !!!

like your works, maybe we'll contact you to help us with our 2nd record
But i think we need some more new Syqem stuff ...

Tim (fast Hamburg)

 

[Nuno Filipe]

It´s quite good but the guitar could have a little more body and vocals more presence.

 

[rp069]

Sounds pretty good !!! Snare sounds flat like its very loosely tuned but thats personal taste as well, bass guitar could be fatter, vocals sound a little mid rangy but overal sounds tops !

 

[Niilz]

imho it needs an intro...

...bass could be louder/fatter.

The whole production thing is damn good! (not overproduced!!!).

The guitar player needs lessons... not so tight ;-) LOL

 

[PhilTheBeard]

the tones on everything is pretty good

 

[dcb]

Tim (fast Hamburg)

Dankeschöön ;-)

yeah, new syqem stuff on its way. practicing really hard to make
the songs become alive !
yeah contact me for help with your new record!

thank you man! glad you like it! snare is really a matter of taste, as always ;-)

i will test the song on different speakers and maybe turn up the low end of the bass, but i think the mastering will help the bass as well !

 

[AEL89]

hey dude, really like this mix a lot. Everything is sitting really nice to my ears

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Loving it!!

 

[diafebus]

F*cking bastard! one of the best sound clip of Diezel Einstein I've ever heard nice work!

 

[Rob Logic]

Great job! It's not over produced. I think it sounds great. Congratulations on a great mix.

 

[Morgan C]

Bass could come up a touch but I really love it. Awesome song and an awesome mix... want a download link ;p (but I know you probably can't, not your song)

 

[dcb]

you're all too nice to me ;-) ! thanks again.

maybe i'll bring the bass up, as i wasnt really sure about the bass,
because it doesnt parallel the guitars, he's basically got his own lines.

i think the song will be available for download when its mastered,
have to ask the band for an "ultimate metal special download" or
something like that.
