Thanks a lot for your comments!
Plankis, glad you liked the drums, I´ll talk about them after answering you. The tone I used in the end wasn´t the first one I dialed. It was more trebly and had a little more gain, but maybe it sounded a bit muddier, so I ended up with this one. You are right about vocals, but I tried to keep it simple (acoustic+solo in the intro, two rythm guitars+the riff in the verse, and acoustic+solo in the intro for guitars, and the only time vocals are doubled are in the end, in "so I dub thee unforgiven). Anyway, thanks a lot for the feedback, man.
Captainboom. I may try to record it completely, but with no video...at least some friends are demanding the solo!
When you talk about the voice saturation, do you mean that I should sing the chorus part with a more raspy voice, as in the verse? If so, I did it that way to have a little dynamics in the perfomance.
As for the drums:
- I used a complete kit from Metal Foundry (used a Supraphonic snare) and kick, snare and toms from Metal Machine. I adjusted volumes to blend them in. With Metal Foundry I get more realism and fatness, and with Metal Machine I get more punch and a treble edge.
- I have different tracks for kick, snare, toms, charlie, overhead and ambient mic. I eq them the way I like and compress quite heavily kick, snare and toms. Also add reverb, Vintage Warmer and Sonic Maximizer. I send kick, snare, tom, charlie and overheads to a group track in Cubase and add extra compression and reverb.
- Also, I cut some frequencies in the overhead and ambient mics so there´s not a low saturation.
- This time, I added some extra volume and reverb to the ambient mic.
I thinks it´s basically all I did...Hope it helps, and thanks for your comments!
