Man those O.H.'s are smoooove. Nice tracking. Great drummers make it so much easier

How did you go about sweeping clean to distortion in track 2 with reamping?

i used Ampfarm. re-amped with a clean signal later.
as the played live in the studio, ulph, the guitarist, used his volyme control alot

Drums sound great, and so do the guitars especially on track 2 man

Edit: Gotta love fusion bass playing

Sounds great man

 

[nuclearass]

Sounds great! Great tracking!
Did you use a lot of reverbs on the drums? That snare reverb sounds really good... nice natural sound. Can you tell us what you used and how?

Hi! well... no. i used D-verb plate setting. just too get some edge on the snare. the rest is from the ambience mics

 

[musickey]

Great job man! really good stereo image on the drums, maybe a little bit more volume on the bass.

 

[MKS]

Great job Mr. Rocker!!

thanks for the info. i've really been struggling with the d-verb ... can't really get it to sound good. Basically my problem is that it sounds good on it's own, but somehow it just drowns in the mix too much and ends up sounding like mud. I used to get a lot more clear reverb sounds with logics and waves reverbs (plates)... so can you give me any good tips on how to set it up?

BTW. How did you set up the ambience mics? a/b or x/y or some other way?

 

[Ronnie_Rocker]

Ambience is A/B.
