Metalcore - Post-Hardcore band I produced (Axe-Fx Ultra, ESP, Toontrack, Slate)

[Teddyboy]

Here's the videoclip of the new South Korea In Vegas single "Kill The Messenger" I recently produced. I hope you like it. Feel free to ask anything you want to know.

I like it a lot! What reverb did you use for vocals?

 

[==>Alb<==]

yes and can you tell us something more about the guitars and vocals into the mix?
it's very very clear and great sounding

 

[Teddyboy]

Thanks a lot guys! I'm glad you like it!!

For vocals I used pretty standard things... Shure SM7b ->DeEsser->Waves SSL for compression and slight eq (small cuts at 400hz and 2khz and a boost at 8khz)
Both clean and brutal vocals are sent to reverb and delay buses.
Each type of vocals had its own bus with different settings for each effect
I used RVerb.

For guitars, I used my ESP Eclipse 81-60 into Axe-Fx Ultra, with "Recto New" amp and "Cali" cab with very little eq in reaper...
I used Equality for some notches to clear some wild nasty frequencies and a boost in the highs..and that's it!!

The sound was there from the beginning for both vocals and guitars

If there's anything else you want to know, feel free to ask

how much time did you spend on editing ? (all together)

Great!

 

[Teddyboy]

how much time did you spend on editing ? (all together)

To be honest, I can't really tell, because first of all I try to record really tight performances and then I try to do pretty basic and quick editing while finishing the takes, so when the recordings are done, the only real editing I have to do is to make thing a bit more "robotic" if needed. Clean vocals were tuned by Jeff who did really good job

 

[LewsTherin006]

That sounded pretty awesome my man.

 

[==>Alb<==]

Hey man, is Steven Segal with a flying V the guy in the photo or are you?

 

[Teddyboy]

Yeap, it's Steven Segal with a Flying V

Hi dude! great mix!
What is the drum? ssd kick 10 & snare 21???
Guitars is QUADTRACK??
what about BASS? =)
You use REAPER??
can you post di`s? pleeease =[

 

[Teddyboy]

Thanks my friend!!!

Tomorrow I'll check the project and tell what samples I used, but kick is definitely not slate kick10.
Guitars are double tracked. For bass I used my Warwick Corvette into Axe-fx.
The whole project was done in Reaper. Still using Reaper 3, because I'm so comfortable with the "pro-tools edition" Adam did,that I'm afraid to move to 4.
I'll ask the band and if they're fine with it, I'll upload the files

It will be awesome and we will try to make our version of the mix

 

[Teddyboy]

As for the samples...
Snare is a mix of Never and 11 snare from Slate and Svartsot from LSD
Kick is a mix of Kick5 and Andy's kick. It's mostly kick5, while Sneap's kick is much lower

 

[HugoRibeiroDotCom]

Damn!!! Great production! Props to you Teddy!

cheers

 

[FORD-FREEMAN]

and.... what about di`s??....

 

[Teddyboy]

I'm afraid I can't post di's... Sorry...

Thanks a lot for your kind words guys!!! I think this production is a big step for me, so I'm happy you also feel I did something good here

Vox sound great man quick question: what preamp did you use on the sm7b? Also did you flip any eq on the back of the mic such as the presence boost?

 

[Teddyboy]

Thanks man!! I used the preamp from the Liquid Saffire 56, either the Trany model or the Class A one.

As for the mic eq, I will check tomorrow
