new song from my band's upcoming CD...

[Metaltastic]

I am sorry, but I misunderstood you: you said that you have (8) rhythm guitar tracks? I thought you had (4).
Thanks

He recorded each of the four takes with two mics, so that's where the 8 comes from

 

[nwright]

^correct. 4 takes with 2 mics each, so 8 tracks total. I grouped all 8 and EQ'd the group track.

While I'm not a fan of the vocal processing so much, I think the rest sounds fantastic. Nice and clear.

The vocal effects are a little much for me. I think I prefer vocals to be a little bit more dry than those are with the delay and such, but they aren't bad at all aside from that in my opinion; just not that excited with the processing of them. I might place the effects on the vocals a little bit lower in the mix.

Is this Madison amp alone or mixed with 5150?

Great mix from what I am hearing & you guys are making some good music in general from what I hear on your MySpace.

Keep it going!!!!!

 

[Waterboy]

Ok. Thanks for the explanation, guys. Now that I am on the same page: you said that you grouped the (8) gtrs together.
By that, did you mean that you brought them into (1) stereo bus??
May seem like a dumb question, but I just want to make sure that I understand your process .... it sounds really good.

Thanks again.

Excellent!

Is this your work? Well done if so.

Myspace Requested.

Yes, all 8 tracks were grouped into 1 stereo bus and EQ'd on that bus. I tried to EQ each amp's tracks on their own, but it didn't sound as cohesive as doing them together.

Thanks. Yes, this is my work.

Myspace is in my sig.

I have never tried group EQ before. Gonna have to give that a shot cause it sounds beeyotchin.

BTW thanks for pointing me to this thread (was really curious how a divinity would sound with a 5150).

 

[nwright]

My thinking with group EQ on the guitars is that the less I have to fiddle with, the better. I tried to get tones I liked as well as tones that fit together during the tracking phase. Once I had that hashed out, my EQ issues had to do with the guits in the overall mix, not so much the tone between the 2 amps, so group EQ made the most sense with the least work, haha.

Also, the Divinity during tracking didn't sound too far removed from the 6505+, IMO. I ran less gain on the Divinity, and it seem to have more command of the mids than the 6505+ (which seemed to be high mid voiced), and it was definitely clearer and more articulate. Obviously with less gain it could be that way, but even in a band context, it's seems dryer and clearer than the 6505+. They mate well together.

 

[Waterboy]

That is a very good idea.
To be honest: I have never thought of that either.
This will be a good lesson to learn.
Thank you for the heads-up.

Ooh yeah, hot wet amp sex...

here's another new one, called Distort. I used the same chain for a quick master as the first one in the thread, so the settings may not be matched up as well for this song, but it gives me something to go by.

Dood. You are making one heck of a good product.
