New Song. Framus Cobra, EZ Drummer...

What do you think about the mix? I don't have studio monitors, only a 10€ pair of headphones and a hi-fi (wtf? hi??) system.

Any comment would be appreciated.

Guitars are 4 tracks of Framus Cobra, with Line6 Toneport cab simulation (Treadplate 4x12 with 67 Condenser mic, 0 room).

Bass is Broomstick Bass, gibson thunderbird.

I hope you like it!!

EDIT:

I've recorded it again, this time using some impulses instead of Line6 Stuff.
I used the Harley Benton v30s impulse, the one named "alasneap".
Then I added extra EQ, low-pass at 9Khz and hi-pass at 80hz. Added some beaf at 150hz with Waves LinEQ Lowband.

I was trying to imitate Mercenary/Deadlock sound and I think I've come close enough. From that sound I made my own.

What do you think of it now?

- Guitar only sample.
- Full song.

Guitars are too much trebbly for my taste...and they lack body and bass.
The song is good man!

Why cab simulation?

Well, I tried micing, but i only have 1 sm57, so, no Fred Technique.
And my soundcard is a Line6 Toneport, so, no decent mic preamp.

I tried with impulses, but it sounds too scooped...

Thanks for the advices!

Do you not want to re-amp/re-track the guitars with more mids to make the impulses sound less scooped, because they will almost definitely sound better and more realistic than the pod cam sims.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

well, I'll try it again

Any suggestions on which frequencies to cut/boost??

turn the bass guitar up a bit instead?

sounds pretty good to me, mercenary has a great sound and I can see the influence

 

[Black neon bob]

cool stuff!

Hey.. what are the synths?

 

[cobhc]

I think the mix as a whole has too much in the high mid area, the song itself is cool though dude. Try cutting some 2khz.

my only gripe with the guitar tone is that it sounds under gained to me...
