Electric Eye cover

[Max Morton]

Greetings everyone! My first post here
Recorded this cover today. Would be nice if you check it out.
I did all the vox, gtr, bass programming, drums programming and tracking/mixing/mastering job on this record.
It's also my first experience miking G12-T (i'm Vintage30 addict, but it's interesting experience and i totaly loved G12 on solos).

Initially it was just a demo for my drummer and bass player for working on their parts. But then i loved aranging vocal lines and decided to mix the stuff.

Mix details:
Gtr:Dean Cadillac on riffs and Ibanez Roadstar on solo> ZW overdrive (gain min, tone 13 oclock, vol 12 oclock)> Peavey 5150 lead channel> Randall 4x12 (G12-T in this one, though i'll go back to V30 for riffs)> single sm57 > Set Sound PA-2205m (Russian custom built mic pre) > RME Fireface 400
Vox: Oktava MK-105 D) > Set Sound PA-2205m> RME Fireface 400
Bass: Orange Tree Samples Corebass Cherry Picked
Drums: Superior2
Host: cubase 4.5 full retail
Plugins used: stillwell, voxengo, t-racks singles, overloud breverb.
I'd be glad if you comment both mix and my performance.
Thanks in advance

Well, you sure ain't Halford but it wasn't bad. I can't say how accurate it is but I dug it. Guitars sound a little thin. Almost like they're all MIDs. Might just be my speaks'. Rock on. Don't trust Whitey.

MetallyGuitarded: thanks! Yeah, reaching Rob's level is way too far for me, but i'm working hard.

Nice job! Yeah the guitars were a bit middy, but otherwise it sounds good. Great solo!

 

[Max Morton]

Decimator: Thanx! Damn, listened to the mix with fresh ears this morning. Yeah, riffs DO suck because of this unhealthy mids.

Nice cover!! I haven't heard this song for a long time! Your voice is good, the guys told you about the guitars, the solo rules, so I would want more body an the snare (maybe boost at 200hz?). It's just personal taste. Welcome here dude!!! Cheers!!!

Teddyboy: A huge thanks! i've been reading this great forum for years, so it's a pleasure to take part in discussions now.

I think its a great cover and the solo is amazing!

Thanks, man! Doing my best. We're playing trio live so it's quite a tough job to sing and play guitar parts ad the same time. Especialy when it's about covering Judas Priest that are based on two-guitar riffs But we're doing a lot of rearranging and filling the holes with bass overdrive and fx.
