New PHARAOH track

[Matt Crooks]

Hi all -

I finished up the new album for Pharaoh in December, and the promos are now out. There is one track up on their web site now. This isn't really a "rate my mix", since it's done and the CDs are printed I just thought I'd share a new track:

If any one is interested in the technical details, I can give them.

Sounds good. Not into this type music though.

Hi Matt:
I really dig this tune. Can you give me any details on the vocal chain and settings?

Thanks,
John

Dude, I'm totally fucking digging this.

Great job.

Badass. Like Blind Guardian, but tasteful.

Nice work!

The recording chain was:
Nuemann 147 -> Avalon 737 (comp at 3:1, taking 3-4db off, no EQ) -> Apogee DA-16x (@ 24/44.1)

In the mix:
Track -> Cranesong Phoenix -> Bomb Factory 660 (time factor 3, taking 5-6 db off)

The verb is a Sony V77, the delay is the standard digirack delay.

The main thing is the voice of Tim Aymar - it's just impossible to make him sound bad (I actually think he sounds better here than on the Control Denied album). Ever vocal is double tracked, so that adds to some of the thickness of the vocal tracks.

I'm glad you all like it... it was fun to make for sure!

Ever vocal is double tracked, so that adds to some of the thickness of the vocal tracks.

I was wondering about that too. He was super tight and I couldn't tell whether there was a slight doubler on there or whether he did it himself.

Thanks for all the info, very killer work on this one.
