Bottom line, you've bitten off more than you can chew. I don't have those amp's,so can't really help with the settings, but I do know that WOS was not 5150/Mesa, so i don't know why you're gonig for that sound with them.
I just wish you all the luck in the world, cos an album of guitar tracknig is a HUGE feat for one day.
Sorry I couldnt be more constructive, dude.

Actually, I can be constructive: the amps characters work together well, so you don't have to exadurate the EQ, just get each to sound good on it's own, then mix them to taste. Take mroe time with the mic placement than the EQing of the amps, too.

You know, admitting that your album will be released worldwide, then claiming that you're going to rip off samples that have been created by a renowned producer, and possibly already featured on a worldwide release isn't the most sound thing to do.

Record the guitar tracks to a DI and a crappy amp and then REAMP in one day! Don't do that to yourself! I can't give you WOS settings either but here are (supposeddly) some settings by Andy

so what is the drama here ? i think most of the guys who mix on this forum
( underground bands) i think they use sneap samples . is not bat to have good amps and good drum samples .


cheers dude

Just try to get a good sound. With the amp you have, you will get very close to the tone you are looking for. Are you re-amping?

 

[felipe-x]

i remember that there was a site that andy explain when he mix arch enemy albums and carcass and other

do you know what am talking about?

yep and i read in the website that they use also a 5150

 

[Nebulous]

...but no recto, which is sort of what struck me as wierd, when you said you wanted that tone with the Recto and 5150- and in one day!!

 

[Mark_Palangio]

That album was mainly all Savage 120 and a little bit of 5150.

1 day to record the guitars not to mix

i think i will record first l and r with the mesa and second l and r with the peavy and leads with peavy again

Not to doubt your abilities but you are sure that you can record 4 (ultra-tight) tracks + Leads + Overdubs + (maybe) clean guitars + finding the sound you need (trying different mic positions, mics etc. ....) in 1 Day?

I wish you good luck man!!! You will need it!!!

I understood that from the initial post. FABZ pretty much nailed it there. You seriously have to be a great guitar player, engineer, producer.....super audio nerd if you can get those done well enough (for an ALBUM) in one day.

As stated before, I wish you luck, though I just think you're pushing it timewise.
