Haha, yeah those clean vox are not everybodys taste, but there are a lot of people that like them! Solved the mix issue by adding some harmonies. Helped a LOT making them thicker!
As promised some info on the guitars. Guess what makes them special is the Gibson Les Paul I used! Love how it sounds!
I plugged it into podfarm and used tube screamer + cali comb (yeah I already said theres really nothing special about it!
). I used Catharsis Impulse! Really took a few hours to zap through my impulse archive, trying out a lot of impulses, wich is hard, cause it's not easy to jugde them without an EQ on it. The Catharsis "awesome impulse" is really great!
On the guitar bus I use the Podfarm "American Classic", the Ozone 4 exciter and an EQ. Filtered a lot on the guitars. For example I only highpassed them at about 60 Hz, and filtered the deep resonance frequencies with bandpasses. So I got more control over the bottom to let a lil bit of low end in the guitars. Last thing is an L1.
As always editing is very important. I cutted the guitars pretty tight. And I only double tracked for the first time. I was always afraid of this cause I thought 4 tracks HAVE to sound bigger than two. I was wrong in this case!
Hope I wrote something useful for you! But most of you will know all of this already I guess!
