Y'know, I don't think I've ever posted in the Rate My Mix/Tone forum before, so here it goes...
Here's a chunk of a track I'm working on for my hard rock project. It's pretty rough at the moment; just drums and two tracks (one take, two mics) of rhythm guitar. I centered the guitars so the mix would make more sense without the second guitar part. Here's the link: Battle Of Wits With An Unarmed Man test
The signal chain, as far as I'm aware, is as follows:
For the guitars, LTD EC1000 with Seymour Duncan Custom 5 in the bridge --> 12 ft. Lava cable --> Boss TU-2 bypass out (as splitter) --> 1 ft. Lava cable --> MBox instrument input.
Jim (Where She Wept on the UM forums) reamped the dry track through his 3 channel Dual Rectifier loaded with EL34s, on Red/Modern (I don't recall if this was channel 2 or 3) through a Behringer cab with WGS Veteran 30s, miced up with two SM57s in the "Fredman" pattern. There's some EQ on the guitars from Cubase's built-in 4 band parametric, and that's it.
There'll be more to this eventually, like the second rhythm guitar (Mesa Stiletto Deuce through Marshall 1960AV), bass, solo, and some programming. Maybe even vox if I'm feeling particularly daring.
Oh, and thanks to smy1 for the kick and snare samples. I blended in his Tama Starclassic kick and Pearl snare on this.
