My First Attempt At Fredman Mic'ing

[Machinated]

Just threw this together quickly to test out the Fredman mic'ing, as I got an i5 today. I used a JMP-1 preamp, Marshall EL34 100/100 poweramp, and a 1960B cab for this. i5 on axis, and a 57 off axis. These went into a Mackie Onyx 800R on 300Ω impedance on both channels. Ignore the repetitive song haha

i5/57 Fredman Test

And heres another mix of it, cut a load of mids out

I think it definitely has a Marshall crunch to it, need to buy a 5150 I think.

Let us know what you think

sounds pretty damn impressive to me. I don't hear much Marshall in that at all...About as much as I would a 6505.

Worked on this mix a bit more, cut some mids out of the guitars. I also changed the drums quite a bit. Sounding alright?

 

[nwright]

Both sound really good to me. I like the in your face thickness without fizz. I have a post about my guitar tone woes a few posts down, would you mind reading a offering some pointers?

Thanks!

i liked the mid cut one just a little more. it sounds like it needs a smidge more gain, but it sounds pretty cool as is.

 

[drewcson]

i really like the song dude. the one with the mids cut sounds way way better though. the draums in that take sound more lifelike. like the song alot though.

 

[Machinated]

Cheers for the responses guys. I remixed a song I wrote about 2/3 years ago. Reamped the guitars through the same rig with slightly different settings. This mix isn't quite as good IMO yet, I'll work on it a bit.

wow, i really like the mix. It kicks in hard.

 

[Machinated]

Cheers man. I used the bass mixing technique that Slate posted the other day, I really like where it has put the bass in the mix.

 

[Soundlurker]

Sounds good, I would go for a sound between those two, though (mid-wise).

 

[fistula]

great drum sound - what samples you've used? especially for kick?

 

[Machinated]

I think the kick drum was either the Sonor or Premier kick from DFHS, blended with 2 different TAMA samples I have knocking about.

 

[fistula]

and the snare?

you wanna say thats DFHS?

 

[gibbed]

I dig the first one the most - I like the mids left in.

 

[Machinated]

Yeah, can't remember which one. I think I put 2 ddrum 4 samples over it too.

 

[fistula]

and what ddrum samples you've used? - they sound awesome!

 

[Machinated]

The snares were the DFHS snare, a snare I have knocking around which is called MT Snare Ambient, think I picked it up around here, and the ddrum 4 sample I used was a Ludwig one, the file name I have for it is "009 LU 6x14 2SA 01.WAV" if you have the samples.

The kick drum samples I blended were both from the ddrum 4, the file names are "902 22 Rock.WAV" and "124 22TAkick3 dd3.WAV".

Hope thats some help!

 

[fistula]

thanks man!
and i like the version with mids cuted! first one sounds cheapier - if you know what i mean (cheap cpu speakers effect)

 

[fistula]

buff, cant find MT Snare Ambient... hehe
can you upload it for me?

 

[Tachy]
