UPDATE: bumped up the presence of the guitar

all of the guitars in this were Ibanez RG6 exfx-->003 pre-->Radial Pro RMP-->Ibanez TS9--> 6505-->Mesa Cab with v30's

post processing was a decent amount of eq on each individual guitar track, then compression. All the guitar were sent to a bus with a low pass, c4, limiter, and shuffler.
Izotope Ozone is on the master bus, and the harmonic exciter on there affects the guitar tone quite a bit as well.

I used two SM57's in Fredman setup

It sounds really good dude
Maybe a little bit more presence could make it sound better (it sounds a tad boxy to me)
but that may just be a preference thing.
Nonetheless great job bro!

told you mesaaa cab yay

 

[lolzgreg]

I like it. It is a bit boxy, as mentioned. But it's a solid sounding tone.

it's my first time, so i'm still working on it.

I'm not convinced i can achieve a not boxy tone in the room i have the cab.

just a local band called Resurrect the Morning.
Good stuff, but this is their first recordings, so they dont have much a following yet.

Add more presence to it... maybe 5k? Just a tad to brighten it up...

forgot i still had the session open. Did a quick adjustment, and i think it helped clear things up alot.

I think your issue is too much post-processing. Most guitar magic is done with whatever is in front of the microphone.

 

[Martin Linda]

for me, there is too much lower mid range in guitars. I would cut a bit with some wide band somewhere around 500Hz? and this shoud remove that boxiness I guess...

 

[ahjteam]

the vocals and snare are too quiet and the kick and guitars are too loud, but the tone is nice!

edit: and the kicks are too machinegun like, I got really fed up with them already before the breakdown

 

[G1]

Its a really smooth tone you've got going on there.
I do agree with ahjteam about the vocals and snare needing to come up a touch.
Otherwise it sounds pretty tight for a first attempt

i'd have to say that is more personal taste

haven't been able to give it a listen so far, but judging from the pic it'd be pretty muffled...looks like the mics are FAR off center

Not only that, but the cab is in a corner.

If you can, try to get it as close to the center of the room, or closet or wherever it is. The center is usually where most of the low-canceling nulls are, so you might get lucky and find one that drops the low mids.

correct...
plus: IF you have to place it in a corner try to not have it parallel or 45° to the walls.
you also might wanna do something about the extremely reflective floor.

But as I said, I haven't listened to it yet, so I don't know how it sounds....if it sounds crackin, forget what I said....

I saw this pic from studio fredman, so i figured the floors weren't a big deal. He also has the cab in a corner, right up against the wall. The room also appears to be smaller than the room i have
I had a carpet down and blankets up on the walls, then tried some a/b comparisons with and without the blankets/carpet, and the differences were very very minimal.
I think the mic position has more to do with my problems than anything. It definitely wasn't as off centered as the picture suggests. The center mic was 70% over the dust cap

Sounds really really good dude, my main complaint is that it's pretty honky.
I find 4 on the mids knob on my 5150 to be too much even, don't be afraid to put it down to 0 and then turn it up gradually rather than working the other way around.

the settings in that pic actually aren't what i used. The mids were actually on 2 on the track above

 

[LosingReality]

WOW, i REALLY like those guitars.....they stand out VERY well in that mix!

I dont think its boxy!
