I'm really diggin' the track.

I like how the bass really stands out in parts.
The clean guitar in the beginning seems to be a bit overdriven, did you mean for that to happen?

Aside from that, this sounds very TesseracT/Periphery. I like

Thanks man, I generally keep the bass level quite high so it can stand out in the quieter moments. Not a fan of turning the bass right down like in a lot of metal releases.

As for the overdrive, it is very much intentional. I love on Fender valve amps you can get a lovely clean with that slight bit of overdrive when you push it on the volume knob and that was definitely the intention on the clean tone.

TesseracT and Periphery and two of my favourite bands at the moment and they are definitely influences on my music.

Cheers man, I can't wait for the the 11th for everyone to hear it! And I used a Strat for this song so I can see why you maybe thought it was a tele!

Thanks dude, these pics should explain the chains. I use the same post-processing on the distorted guitars as the cleans.

Hey thanks so much for posting those. I really think that bass tone might apply well as a reference tone to something im about to start work on. Very insightful stuff. Very cool of you to share. If you dont mind my asking what kind of bass/ pickups was used for this recording? Also how much gain reduction did you get with each pass of compression?

 

[Pdennis89]

lemme just say again that this is fucking great. the most entertaining thing ive heard in a while. i mean that.

No worries man, I'm happy to share settings and such. The bass used in this song and the whole EP is a Yamaha RBX5-A2 and the pickups are the stock passive ones. The bass is my brother's and he thankfully lent it to me for recording of this EP and my previous album. There isn't actually that much of a gain reduction effect with that compressor, but it's definitely made quieter sections in the cleans and the reverb and delay tail off a lot more prominent. It's also made the bass a lot more uniform but in the opposite way, by massive boosting the overall output with me having the turn it down after that. I should probably use Rocket Compressor in parallel on the guitars for a less drastic effect but, I uh, haven't gotten round to that yet
