Heavy Death Metal Tone

[EmeticGore]

UPDATED

I had posted this before, not expecting any results but since there are some interested people.. I've decided to upload the DI's from my new 7-string running through my new setup. I was hoping in your spare time someone could grab some vsts (I have most amp sims and a lot of impulses) and throw together a kickass Death Metal tone.

If I was competent enough to do this myself I would.. but I've only started with all of this. The drums could be better but I didn't program them, nor do I know how.

The gear - ESP Hex-7 > Radial J48 DI box > Mbox mini 3 > REAPER > VST's.

The tone I've managed with my headphones: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8019126/7StringWBass.mp3 Did this only with amplitube and some mixing vst presets.

The DI's and Drum track: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8019126/7stringDI.rar yes there's bass this time.

DI's are Mono 24bit WAV. 44 100Hz BPM 180

Could have probably recorded something better but it works.

Cheers!

If you planning to use impulses with free ampsims (like on screen), then better to record at 44.1k, because most impulses are recorded at this samplerate (there is some exceptions). Many convolution plugins don`t provide good impulse resampling or don`t have resampling at all, in case of good resampling, better to downsample than upsample impulse or avoid resampling at all. Sometimes unmatched samplerates can sound strange, just check it yourself.
With Guitar Rig and Amplitube (and similar software) you can use whatever you want.

I think you should get a bass gtr, and then try to find a decent guitar tone
Also, you could spend more time on getting drums sound good, cause these are pretty bad IMO.

Update in main post ^

A few of these actually sounded pretty awesome guys, but I sold that guitar for a much better one and have upgraded the files so if you wanna try again please do!

I promise I'll stick around this time for replies

Just a quick mixdown. Guitars are x50 w/ catharsis impulses,
Bass is comped to hell and sent through TSE B.O.D.,
Drums are SD w/ a couple of samples blended in.

You should take care of that drum track. Some fills were messed up (e.g. Bar 27), and try to use more cymbals.

I would if I could, I don't program drums a friend of mine is kind enough to do it for me

I'm liking the mix! Sounds quite promising... also, do you mean this x50? http://bedroomproducersblog.com/2011/04/15/tse-x50-freeware-guitar-amp-public-beta/

Tight, I grabbed the vsts needed. Think you could run me a screenshot of your settings? I'm digging the guitar tone more-so after listening on the car-speakers Also what cabs from catharsis were you using here?

 

[NothingRemains]

Ermz already covered that "screenshots/presets plz" thing on his Production Tips Compendium. No offense, I'd just rather try to achieve specific sounds on my own than dialing in a stupid preset that won't work anyway.. Just did a second mixdown with LeCto instead of x50. Sounds way more compact to me.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1176760/EmeticGore_Lecto.mp3

Very cool update, sounds much tighter and cleaner this time around for sure.
