Instrumental 7 string prog reamped with 6534+

[Mattayus]

All going through the Marshall 1960DM > Sm57
All rhythm guitars were red channel, one side unboosted, the other boosted with a TS.

Leads were green channel boosted with TS.

Cool tone. I think that the guitars are popping out of the mix a bit unnaturally due to the amount of 4-6khz present. They are a bit fizzy as well, but you may be able to nuke that right out with post-eq.

sounds way too sterile man.

hmmm I like it

Yeah I've had quite a few cracks at this and it's never sitting quite right. They were quite tricky DI's to work with. I'm not blaming that for my sub-par results, but they were super cold, on an Ibby 7, with old strings So they weren't the easiest from the get go. But hey, I gotta learn to work with the challenges.

I think they're quite muddy, and in an attempt to remedy that I probably made it a little too harsh, as you say Greg. I'm going to re-amp them again tomorrow, but with an i5 this time, and blend it in behind the SM57 tracks to see if it can bring around some of the airy midrange that is so sorely missing. At the moment it's all a bit dry and, as LBTM said; sterile.

I do dig it, and it suits it in a way, but it's not quite there yet.

New version up ^ with a blend of Engl Savage 120 and 6534+. Sounding much better IMO!

wait, something went wrong with the replacement, re-uploading...

On HS80M's with sinus infection (basically left ear only), and I'm digging it. Sounds real solid and almost clinical. Getting a slight Asteroid vibe from the production (not the style) - http://www.asteroid.se/

Definitely a step in the right direction.
