How does this guitar sound? lend me yer ears plz [x50 test]

[reg3n]

it's mostly an x50 test, pitched guitar for the bass, i think sounds fairly good to post here

it's supposed to have a lot of synth action on top but, still on the works... i think the guitar may be a little bit loud =( do you find any obvious problems?

thanks in advance! and thanks onqel for his awesome sim!

*******EDIT:********

NEW MIX
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/799706/X50_reg3n.mp3

that's as far as it's gonna get!

 

[onqel]

Sounds cool! Let me know when it's done

thanks in advance! and thanks onqel for his awesome sim!

Thank you for using/testing it

 

[reg3n]

thanks a lot man one thing i noticed (which i don't go and post in the official thread now because i still have to make some tests to make sure) is that my tone changed a lot if i rendered the project, being in hi fi mode and all, so i just used the sim in hi fi and recorded to a container track, i don't have any problem in doing it that way, maybe i missed some setting or something, but it sounded better this way anyway I'll let you know if something decent comes out of the synth editing! =)

My ears say fuck yeah
chain please! :hotjump:

 

[wetpenny]

i like this more every time i hear it dude! its got attitude

 

[reg3n]

Thanks guise :B

this is what i'm using for the guitars:


Uploaded with ImageShack.us

And i'm a bitch 'cause i forgot to mention god's cabs, which i think sounds awesome!
I added a bit of x30 on the back too, not that low actually, but with default settings, definately, so that would make the 4 guitar tracks

Thanks a lot for the feedback dudes!

Edit: BTW, this could sound a lot better/worse in anyone's guitar, i only have a shitty old-passive 6string

edited first post with the new mix :]

This is already shitty old-passive 6string? WTF! Sounds
Nice tweaking in the eletronic sounds too.
Reaktor maybe?

 

[reg3n]

haha thanks man, yeah i think i'm getting an 8stringer soon anyway! actually for the synthy stuff i always start with some free synth and end up mixing it with guitar sounds and a considerable ammount of edits/automation, strong automation actually, and of course my friend the Glitch vst! i only use it for the gating tho haha

 

[drope934]

fabulous! What's your tuning in this one?

-edit- what's the first plugin on your guitar? I don't know this one.

 

[wetpenny]

it kicks!!!!!!!!!

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

This has a cooooool mechanical vibe on it, maby easing a bit on the compressor with cymbals and snare to give more air instead of killing it. But the result sounds interesting to me

 

[CubanDude]

This, my friend, blows!

 

[OneDaySky]

Sounds rad man, the only bad thing i can say is that it sounds very center heavy from 39 seconds in. Good job though!

 

[reg3n]

@drope934: Thanks man!, guitar is drop C now, and that thing is this noise gate http://platinumears.com/G8.zip

i love it for everything!

@wetpenny: Thanks dawg

@ApeScaleConflict: Cool, one thing i'm finding hard lately is producing a good mix saturation without the gain going crazy and making my master comp explode... i'll definately check through that, thanks! i spent quite a bit aligning to grid so, it's cool it shows! =)

@CubanDude:

@OneDaySky:Thanks man, you know i played most of the patterns like 1 million times to have enough for edits later, and in that particular area you refer, i started even phase aligning the guitars, to a point they started sounding mono :S ... so i finished the pattern and didn't edit like that again in the project...

Thanks a lot for the awesome feedback!

i don't think cubandude knows that "blows" is actually a bad thing.. haha.

nice tone. still not had the chance to look at the x50 in a mix, but it sounds nice! the low tuning part sounds a bit weird though..!

really good stuff!

only thing i'd do is look at changing the cymbal hit velocities, they sound a bit mechanical!

thanks,

Thanks a lot man, good ears it's pitchshifted, my guitar just can't go that low haha good point on the cymbals too!

 

[CubanDude]

No, I totally mean it...

Okay, now it makes perfect sense why I got beaten up last time in the Bronx... Kinda confusing.. smokes, blows.. whatever...

Great work, dude!

 

[FadeToMuffins864]

Not to many comments on the mix...but...

God...DAMN that is how you write a riff.

Let me know if you'd be interested in throwing some vocals over the top of it

 

[Sunny84]

Holy fuck that was awesome mate
