Okay, I MIGHT rerecord the guitars once again... Btw the mix sounded pretty good. It's just that I managed to get out a little bit better sounds and overall even tighter playing.. but the hearable difference between the tone is... well, unhearable. So don't worry if you liked my guitar sound..

Bass used: Fender Precision Custom Fivestring through Apogee Duet, some ampsim and some distortion.

BTW Severus, can you share the chain effect of the bass you recorded? I loved that tune. cause I've been trying to reach that sound but never get it.

PD. specifically what amp sim, distorion, etc.
 
Yeah, sure, glad you liked it. Well I actually kept it pretty basic. I used a custom five string Fender Precision directly into an Apogee Duet into Logic Pro 9. There, I duplicated the signal onto three tracks: one is basically the clean DI with some of Logic's native compression and eq just to tame the transients a bit and bring the bass into context with the drums, nothing fancy going on there, the second one is Logic's bass ampsim for the clean bass amp tone (I think I used the Ampeg sim setting - sounds pretty much like my SVT3-PRO) and the distorted one is done with Waves GTR solo with a VERY distorted setting but very low in the mix compared to the other two tracks. I could send you the screen shots but it's actually pretty much a "tweak to taste" kinda thing and may only work with this particular bass, since it's a pretty awkward instrument to begin with (a Precision on steroids). Hope that helps! Cheerz! Great mix by the way, although the guitars seem a bit out of context. Let's wait for the vocals and we'll see then.

Thanks for the tip, i'll try it. BTW what do you mean by the guitars are a little out of context?

Ok guys!!!
Here it is. I think it's much better than the last one. the guitars are well blended, not "too bright and twangy".
I hope you like it. And Spamds, the bad chord at the end of the song was a very bad joke lol! anyway we can fade out the song.
this is it.

mmm... :D

Could we trigger the snare and and maybe blend it (50%) with some sample which is a bit more "hard-hitting" ? The snare sounds fine by itself now too, but I guess it could be more "dry"... less reverb... more like in the original song!

But,

You'll be the judge.
