Wow, sounds massive! The hat is alittle too loud...

How was the guitars recorded?

Vocals are really my thing.

 

[Cold-Tragedy]

so for guitars i used
my ibanez rgt6exfx with emg 81s...
straight into my tascam us-122L
from there it's
revalver (noise-gate - greener (tube screamer) - 6505 (i own a 6505 but i can't record it at a good volume here so i experimented with revalver) then i split the signal in revalver and used two of catharsis recordings awesometime impulses
that's pretty much it
little bit of tweaking with the mixer in samplitude
made everything a bit clearer


thanks for liking it dude
more stuff to come soon

hey man thath shits sounds great..i liked a lot! but i think the same about the hat... is really loud!

 

[Cold-Tragedy]

thx dude
i have a few problems with that bloody hat haha
i tried so many settings and volumes for that hat
and whatever i do
it either sounds really fucked up with too much fuzz in the midrange
or it's just too loud or too noisy...
or you can't hear the attack...
we tracked drums with e-drum and drumkits from hell
and the hat is kinda the only thing that really bothered me
there is no right volume for that freakin hat

but thanks for pointing it out guys
i'll try to tweak it a bit
but i kinda gave up on that hat
