Glitchcore - saffire 6 test (le456, slate/sturgis)

[masque-]

I just recorded this to test out the focusrite saffire 6 I just got. This isn't anything serious; just trying to get everything to sit right. Let me know if there's anything that sticks out.

guitars are tse 808, le456, sperimental/awesomtime impulses
drums are slate and sturgis samples

the only thing that does not sound good is the double bass part IMHO
hits are too hard, sound slike a MG.

everything else is really nice!

Cool song and I really like how the bass and guitars sit together! can you share any tips on how you managed to achieve this?

How's the latency on the saffire 6? I've never had a usb interface before.

I really like this.

Everything sits so well.

How do you achieve those glitch sounds? Is it as simple as just cutting out parts of the guitar track? I want to learn how to do this for future projects.

I soloed the guitars and bass and just tried fitting the bass in where the guitars left off. Really it was just a lot of trial and error going through and trying a bunch of different amp sims, impulses, and eq settings until you find something that fits the way you want it to

Its not terrible. I probably could have messed with the asio settings some more to get it down, but i think i was recording around 7-10ms latency.

Its all cut up by hand. Some parts had segments cut out and others were a piece cut out then repeated a bunch. Oh, and automated reapitch for the drops

Thanks, but it's nothing special. Here's what the settings look like.

The guitar is an LTD MH-401NT using the EMG 81.

Thats all there was to it. It was just a test not an actual song.
EDIT: If I have some free time this weekend I might add more to it to make it into a full song, but we'll see i guess

On a side note le456.ca has nothing to do with the amp sim, but is instead a Canadian gay bar. It took me going through 3 or 4 pages of half naked dudes to finally realize that.
not awesome

Any DI box or guitars straight into the Saffire 6?

 

[jherrera]

thats my mix

The drums are so bad.

Lecto 4 guitars, SD2.0 for the drums

These were straight into the saffire 6, however it did clip the di's a bit. I just bought a di box so hopefully that'll help

This is a sick sounding track, but I wouldn't personally call it 'glitchcore'. To me this is just metalcore with more frequent stutters. That said, the snare is just a bit too loud, I think. Everything else sounds fine to me.
