This says they used Vst Amp Rack on the new albums guitars and basses Is this true?! I thought they were using Dar amps or Axe Fx

Ola said they did too, I dunno whether that's just to ensure they keep their endorsement though
Should be pretty obvious either way when we get to hear it.

Pre-production? Guide tones while tracking, to be reamped later?

 

[Ola Englund]

the only thing I know is that they probably didn't use DAR

 

[musickey]

Judging by the videos i have seen, cant say i blame them. Didnt really dig the sound myself.

So, Fredrik confirmed on FB that it is indeed VST Amp Rack on the album:

Honestly, they probably don't want to sound like everything else that is copying them in the first place.
(copy the people who originally copied them)

So they are doing things a bit different to stay different and not fall into the fad category. Makes sense to me.

Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects No, we used the VST Amp Rack that comes with Cubase 6 for all guitars and basses ;-)



hmmm, can't wait to hear this

As music is an art, gear is just about experimentation to fit what you play. Whatever they used, I think the result will be great!

 

[GeertSamuel]

No use of judging already, unless you have actually heard the end result..

 

[Melb_shredder]

Don't care if it's VST, Mic'd, Funnel in the anus... As long as it sounds good!

 

[DocSauerkraut]

But the VST Amp Rack of Cubase 6 sounds really bad... Very artificial and sterile, in my opinion.
I wonder how he managed to get something good out of it...

What he SAYS sounded good hopefully!

Well he's a bad-ass guitar player. Those types of guys can make almost anything sound good. (ola for instance)

 

[Ermz]

Dunno, I'm a huge, huge Meshuggah fan but I haven't remotely dug any of their tones since '98. The fact that they're even dropping mic'ed cabs now in favor of straight soft-sims is not exactly inspiring news.

Yeah, it is very usable. I'm surprised it doesn't get any love around here.
