Of Mice & Men Tone Cover (did i get it?)

[Pre Studio Productions]

Ok well, im currently doing a this instrumental cover for a friend who wants to cover the vocals for the song Purified by Of Mice & Men. My main concern here is whether or not i captured the tone of the GUITAR. i KNOW that half of the tone comes from bass, but unfortunately, i couldn't record bas yet, so if you think the tone is a bit "weak", you know why. please feel free to critique anything else. To be 100% honest, it's not fully mixed yet. There are still many things i need to fix. Let me know if you have any tips for this tone or in general. Thanks guys!

UPDATE!! I JUST ADDED BASS AND EDITED EVERYTHING A BIT MORE. LISTEN UP!

BTW sorry for such a short clip

ALLL NIGHT. I DREAM OF WATER.

but yeah I think you got it man. That sounds so good lol

OHHH..and sorry for the sloppy playing. I was just testing out the pod farm tone.

I don't get why people think this is OK for tone tests - most of the tone is defined by the player, so sloppy playing is going to lead to a sub-par tone no matter what you do.

You are asking if your tone is fine, but your playing is sloppy as you say it, not edited, and there is no bass. So, that isn't even possible to get a really good tone out of that in the first place.

Yeah i here ya. it was just a quick scratch track so that i can get some EQ levels right. It was way before i even thought of putting it up on the forum for people to critique. If i would have known that..well...it would have been a different story lol

It was absolutely not to be harsh at all, it's just, until everything is edited, and there's a bass that blends in, no one can really tell you if you nailed the tone or not

The drum sounds very good. But I agree that wihtout bass it´s hard to give some opinions about the mix.

Thanks! But to be honest those aren't even fully mixed yet. I have to fix the toms and I'm going to change my sample on the snare. Or maybe just blend it. I'll definitely put the final version up once it's done.

oh sorry i meant to put an exclamation point after the thanks lol but thanks for your input and i completely agree

Now that I'm listening to it on different monitors, I definitely need to bring the kick thump down, and bring down the lows and bring up the mids (a little bit) in pod farm. Agree?

 

[Pre Studio Productions]

Anyone?

 

[adriencreator]

Holy shit man. That bass tone? Info on that would be shweeeettt.

 

[jsaudio]

yea.....bass tone.....all the info you can please!!!!!!!!

Trillian for the bass?

 

[Pre Studio Productions]

I didn't use trillian. The bass is running through the UAD preflex with a blend between bassmon and Gemini, then I insert "da tube" from cubase. Then it's all about comp, EQ, and limiting to taste.
