I suck @ programming drums so take that in consideration.

guitar was my Vibora Custom Shop "White Porno Marble":

into fireball and 1960A. Volume below 1.
towards the end of the clip I can hear the pick against the strings... got to lower that EMG!

The sound is very good but it need more work on drums (sound and programming) and on general eq, balance
Good first mix!

 

[VH100R]

thanks. I agree... not happy with the drums either.

that's ezdrummer processed to hell.
Only sampled the kick.
I was going for a big drum sound with a big kick that cuts thru the mix and in your face snare.

I dont like that guitar sound at all.

I could imagine it sounding better with a little EQ tweakage, but as it is, not a fan...

the tone sounds VERY hollow to me... I've listened on 3 different sets of speakers as well...

drum programming could use... something... maybe more time + tweaking... i'd maybe cool it on the fills they sound almost out of place to me...

Yea, the guitars sound absolutely terrible. Sorry! I can't really tell you what exactly, but they lack directness and punch. Sounds like the area from 400-800hz has been boosted to hell (I could be wrong, though) ...

The drums don't sound bad to me UNTIL they get to this ultra-fast doublebass part. From then they sound too mechanical. Before that they remind me of some Annihilator-stuff on "King Of The Kill" ...

For now though, the biggest concern for you should be the guitars, not the durms ...

hey! thanks to all for the input.

I think AudioPhile777 nailed it. The guitars sound hollow. They have no meat.

Well since I used a really cheap sehnheiser mic I bought used for 20€, recorded them really really low here in my bedroom (almost no poweramp action) and into the onboard soundcard on the PC I guess the results were ok. not great.

Guitars don't have any EQ by the way, 100% raw.
Quad tracked (straight+angled). got some phasing also when mixing the angled ones but said fuck it since couldn't record more tracks that day.

this was just to try the ezdrummer DFH samples, so I took little time with programming the drums which I suck at it by the way...

I just wanted a snare and kick that could slice thru some A# tuned guitars for a project I'm gonna be working with a friend.

also... there's no bass line. I hope my next clip will be a better one!

take care dudes (again thanks for the input, means alot)

LG.

this tone is really really wierd, and I don't think I like it. It does sound really hollow, scratchy and lacks any sort of warmth. Maybe with some eq it could be workable but it sure sounds wacky to me
