[lilhermiejobo]

Hey dudes!!!

I put together this hard rock jam after I got off work today and I've heard this thing easily a hundred times AND I'M BORDERING INSANE!!!

I'd appreciate someone else's ears giving this a whirl and lemme know whats up

Sounds good man! The bass is sitting real nice with the guitars. I really dig the ring on the snare but I think the overall snare volume could come down just a bit.

sounds cool man the snare is alittle high...guitar chain? add vocals!!!

 

[lilhermiejobo]

Thanks guys!!! Yeah, I seem to have an ongoing problem with snare levels and I cant figure out why, exactly... in my room on the nearfields, it sounds fairly blended and uniform with everything else, but as soon as I listen on something else.... I can totally hear what you guys are saying, but with practically every mix I do.
The guitars were all done on my fernandes ravelle deluxe baritone with dual emg 81s > podxtpro (2 different amp models) quad tracked. The bass is the ravelle again with a pitch shift plug-in, some eq and compression.
I would LOOOOOOOOOVE to get vocals on this one!!! Any takers?

I'm really digging this... did you play the drums or are these samples? if samples, which ones?

 

[lilhermiejobo]

Thanks man I programmed the drums using Addictive Drums... I'm not sure which particular combination I used but I can have a look and post back with the details if you'd like.
Cheers!!!

Sounds awesome!! The only thing Im not a fan of the snare..but thats just preference. I would prefer a donkier darker snare

 

[lilhermiejobo]

I know what you mean and I tried to go for a darker/deeper snare at first but found that I was struggling to pull it off using AD. I really should start looking into other sample replacement programs / methods.
Thanks, by the way!!!
I wasn't sure if this would get any love on the sneap forum since most of the mixes I hear on here are djent, metalcore, deathcore, death metal, black?metal, etc.... more extreme styles of rock/metal.
I truly and really appreciate the responses, guys!!!

the mix sounds huge. although the guitar tone is much to thick for hardrock! also the music doesn't sound like hardrock. but otherwise really good. and i'm digging the snare

 

[lilhermiejobo]

Ah cheers man!!! I wasn't sure what genre this would fit in... it didn't strike me as metal but then again, there are no vocals so that could be a defining factor I suppose.
I'm stoked you dig it man. I really didn't expect many people to since it isn't teh brootalz, by the way... if not hard rock... what sort would you say it sounds like? just wondering.
thanks again guys!!!
