MIXING TIME, SONG2: DI and Midi inside.

Here's my go at it. There's still plenty to work on, I'm not at all satisfied with the solo tone, and I haven't worked on any drums other than snare and bd yet. I also noticed I'm shit at using reverb :lol: but I'm learning as I go, all the time.

Anyway, someone said during the guitar tone contest, that my mix sounds painfully small and my tone is too middy. I tried to fix this, I wonder if it still is?

Also, I tried a kind of different approach on the intro, I'm still thinking of doing something fun with it. Thanks again for the files!

Guess I'll be first, then.

Sounds fat! I like the snare on this alot! Hits up good but still dark. Great work.

Thx for uploading
Here`s mine, hope it`s a little different. Xtra light at the beginning, then Xtra crushing - and I added a scream from one of our songs :D

Yeah the intro drums could be picked directly from Top Gun! I like it!
Sounds fat! The kick might be to clicky. Awesome job though!


Always sound convincing, I get impressed every time I hear your plugins! Maybe just a tad to much gain on the clip.

That's the quick one. I will try to reamp with a real amp later. I should have a triple XXX this week-end.
Thanks for sharing the files.
Looking forward to hear it with a XXX. Could probably bring some other type of sound to the mix. Otherwise this mix alone sounds really good!

Also sounds fat as hell! Maybe a bit grainy guitar sound otherwise :headbang:
 
Mm, I got quite a dirty mix going. I gotta fix up all these cymbals first though.. PITA.. Plus I'm getting constant dropouts even tho I'm only at 50% CPU, and snare samples flamming.. overall a fuckload of editing shit to fix up before I post this. I LOVE the solo, so atmospheric.

Is there any chance you can upload the cymbals Ola? It'll just take forever figuring out whats what and changing the mapping to suit SSD. The drum mapping is all the same, if you (or someone else) could upload a .wav of just the cymbals that'd be awesome..
 
Ibanez stock V8 on the rhythms. String gauge 60-12(which is kind of thin in this Bb tuning, but I've got a couple of those sets left before buying thicker).
No DI box, just the instrument input on Apogee One. I use dunlop sharp 1.5 picks. I'm hitting pretty hard but not metal-only-down-strokes-hard. But I'm definetly NOT a strängsmekare :D

On 60's? I'm using a 72 from a bass guitar for B at the moment.
 
Heehee thanks guys! It's the X30 alright!!! But no contour onqel :3, Don't hang yourself! we need your awesome amp sims! D:
