oceano video, headbangers blog

Nice video, nice production shame about the dick wearing the "AMERICAN DEATH METAL" t-shirt in the picture above.
Fucking posers haha.
 
I'm going to buy this today! So stoked to hear the quality of the cd and no mp3 shit...

Joey what amp model did you use on pod to achieve that White Chapel guitar overlay sound?

also any extra effects or details you want to share?

It happens at about 1:02 on the song District of misery.

when we started recording guitars, we made about 4 - 5 patches using the same amp (diamond plate)

so anything you hear is probably just chorus, delay, or reverb effects added to the amp.

the rthm gtrs are quad tracked, two with screamer two without. tuning is drop a sharp i believe (7 string). used one guitar (emg pickups) for the entire tracking process, one change of strings somewhere in the middle. we did 15 songs.

not sure there's much else to say... i spent about 3 days on the eq of everything on this one.
 
Awesome :rock:

Do you have a favourite reverb plugin that you tend to use on most things? Also, presuming you have the reverb as an fx send, do you have eq on the fx channel? Which plugin are you using for the snare? It sounds great.

the only time i ever use a fx send is for drum verb, and i use waves RVERB for drum reverb

guitars i just throw a reverb on the last insert (post fader)

im not using anything complicated. either pod xt reverb, or stock nuendo reverb

im not the kinda dude that gets into all that "special" sounding hyped up plugins. reverb is reverb. i definately understand there's differences but i use all of these things VERY subtley, and most of the time its not goin to matter as long as theirs a sense of ambience and longer decay. the only thing i went out of my way to really mess with was the vocal reverb. i used altiverb 5 with a convolution of a castle and automated the crap out of it throughout the entire record. there's some songs where the effect is so insane i dont think i'll ever recreate it.
 
Not gonna say I love the music. But the production is top notch! Congratulations joey! Really love the spacial depth you gave to the snare!

thanks! its slate, with slate room sample, and waves rverb

i usually mix the snare +3 db above everything else, so in mastering it really pops through

and yes, i produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered this one
 
Its bad as hell lol
The other day i had some buddies say "dude i seen this band called oceano on HBB" Im like oh yea heard all about em hahaha

Yeah there really is a nice ambience or atmosphere, you've done a great job. Thanks a lot for the info!
 
if you use Rverb on the guitars as the last insert, what's the wet mix, like 4-5%?

i dont use rverb with guitars
unless its a weird ass clean part (past experiences)

but using reverb as an insert usually requires a low wet mix depending on the application

if you're just adding some ambience to a lead, usually 10% at the most, more if you want to go to another dimension

often use voxengo MSED right after (increase the stereo gain, decrease the center gain)

that'll put the reverb way wide

Doh, you did say stock POD verb or Nuendo verb, just realized it upon re-reading this thread.
