I love the idea of having different tones splatt, there is nothing distracting about it , in fact i would to see more bands doing that in their albums. Is not something that work with all styles of music thats for sure
I'm glad you think so. I may give multiple tones a shot.
The vocals are AMAZING both as far as mixing and performance go. What are you using on those?
Thanks! There's still a lot of work to do, but I think we've got a really good start so far. Matty usually uses a Shure or AT dynamic mic straight into a PODX3 for dry tone capture, but this time he went over to our friend's house to use his condenser mic. I'm not sure what mic it is exactly, but I know its one of those $89 jobs.
As far as processing, I LOVE the freeware Antress 1176 plugin for vox. Its just great. There's minimal eq, just a high pass at 100 and a tiny boost at 5k and 10k. All reverb and delay effects are Line6 Gearbox
I like it. Just overall HUGE-sounding. Great job, dude. So you ended up liking GearBox more than 8505?
Yeah, the 8505 is great, but Gearbox is just so much more convenient for me.
Awesome! What'd you use for the vocals? They sound excellent and everything is good, though the vocals maybe seem a tad loud.
Thanks man! See above for vocal details,
splatt !!
nice work!
where do you record the vox? do you have a vocal booth?
and about the guitars : is this you mesa patch quad tracked?
also let me say : the vocals sound absolutely perfect !
some of the best vocal sounds i have heard here.
and : i love that your vocalist sings the way he does, most bands prefer the scream thing! very natural and BELIEVABLE !
Hey thanks a lot! I love the way Matt sings, and I love the fact that I only have to use auto-tune very sparingly on certain notes.
When I'm in town with Matt and we do vocals, or when he does them himself, we usually record him in his closet and he sings into where all his shirts hang to absorb to reflections. It's a completely ghetto approach and works great! For this track though, I think it was tracked in small room with wood floors.
For the guitar question, I used a Mesa patch, but its not the one I traditionally use. This one is the Diamondplate with the V30 cab and 57 on axis mic. Bass 57, mid 40, Treble 60, pres 60, Drive 100. I used a TSS plugin on some palm muted parts, but its turned off most of the time. Each guitar gets processed with Curve EQ and that's a wrap.
