My version of Dressed to kill

[Ferrari]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and I'm willing to stay!! So, here's my attemp at one of my favourite SX songs!! I tried to sound as close as the original. I've never recorded a complete song before, and never worked with VSTs and Cubase before etc... I'm still learning!! Well, here it is!!. Comments about the mix are especially appreciated :

In the solo there are a couple of licks missing... and the harmony guitar in the middle... I'm still working on that

See ya!!!

Edit: Is this post well placed? If it isnt so, please let me know. Sorry :$

I had to listen to the original at the same time to hear the difference

Awesome!

Yeah, that's awesome.

Since it's no doubt going to be asked eventually, what gear & setup have you used to record this?

Because the quality & mix is great.

Yay or EMG pickups. I'd still be an EMG person if Dimarzio's weren't just as good for like half the price.

You're tuned down to C, aren't you?

yeah man! EMGs are quite expensive, but i dont care! i love them! muahahaha I used to play with a stratocaster loaded with PAf pros, and they sounded great too! The pickups are the only thing left, but dont have any guitar to place them :| ...

Well, i wanted to tune down to C but 011 were too loose, so i tuned up to C# ... I neeed a 7 string guitar!!! jejeje

BTW; what "Yay or" means? :$ :$ :$ :$

I fucking love your lead tone

I love it too! I'm proud of that tone. Most of it comes from the shred master. Here's how i have it set up for this solo:

And then it comes through the Flextone...

Thanks for taking the time!

Awesome. very clean. and much better than i could have done.
