Melodic Hardcore

[Perishh]

Hi guys, this is a solo project I have just started to help me keep practicing and progressing as a producer. Please give me any advice on what i'm doing wrong. Note that that bass is only MIDI so there wasn't much I can do about how it sounds.

PS. I just threw a quick coat of Ozone on this and i'm not the best at mastering. So i'm not sure if that contributes to levels being off etc.

Thanks
Alex

i hate the sound of the guitar that comes in at ~:32 seconds. But that Rhythm at ~:43 seconds is awesome for this tune I think. I would just try and do something different w/ your lead guitar tones.

May I be the first to say, this song is fucking killer. I absolutely love melodic hardcore, so this made me jizz. Haha, but yeah like ubersyntax said, tweak the lead tone a little bit more, maybe less treble? I don't actually know, cuz I'm a total noob at this stuff

Thanks for the input guys. I definitely agree with the lead tone, after the master it turned out very weak and tinny. I might even back down the gain on the rhythm tracks a bit cause I think they are clashing.

Hahaha appreciate it man. Was just sitting infront of my workstation and came up with it all on the spot, turned out ok

What did you use for your Rhythm guitars? Mic an amp? ampisms and impulses?

These rhythms are POD farm. I originally re amped them with a 6505 but i cant seem to get a good sound from a mic'd cab. I cant to figure out the problem.

Get my Maxon od808 soon so maybe that will help.

Are you using cab impulses w/ POD? Or are you just using POD farm and thats it?

 

[Perishh]

Just podfarm dude. No impulses. Still haven't got round to trying impulses.

Good song and mix, but this definitely isn't melodic hardcore
