Periphery album tone try

[Calippo Tecks]

Out of boredom I tried to match the sound of Periphery.

I saw them previous weekend in Tilburg and was amazed by their live performance.
I expected less to be honest, but I went home with a longsleeve.
Never saw a drummer being so awesome on such a small kit.

Still far away from the original but I start liking it.

This is not in Drop Ab is it?

cool tone though

 

[Calippo Tecks]

I played it in A, or atleast close to A, not sure how good in tune I am atm ;-)
thanks!

the tone is great man but you have looot of compresion there

 

[Calippo Tecks]

u're right, I'm still learning to use compression better ;-) but this is another great lesson.

be careful and with the limithing i had the same problem with the compreson and limithing stage but try different things different settings and you fill get it
my first records sounded death couse of the L2 limiter i used and that was killing everything

 

[Calippo Tecks]

Yes, that's what I found out, so much difference when you use L2 over it.
I have to figure out the nice way through the middle, it's cool you noticed this.
Even EQing will have to change by this, since compression can pump up or down those attacking highs.
I'm going to do my first record pretty soon.
Band is tracking down everything atm (DI's and midi drums).
Totally different genre though, power metal, but I'm still screwing around constantly so I can give them the best result as possible.

great tone, just bring the threshold up a bit.

try always different things and you will found out what is good and what is bad and if you need help with that power metal band we are always here to help cheers

I worked a bit more with this.
Layered the snare just a little and kick to get rid off the weird superior click.
(steven slate stuff)

retracked guitars through a different cab (my custom 1x12) and they're much better imo.

well must say that the first one was better but without that commpresion.this track is just empty in the centar or the guitars are just way louder then everything else

 

[Calippo Tecks]

Now I hear it again after two days leaving it alone, the first one sounds better in the mix, but it sounds a bit harsh to me.
I'm gonna give it another try this week with an SM57 (used an e906 on both clips)
I'll try to get it more like tone1 but without the harshness and less compression in the mix.

 

[zver]

yeah its the best way to do it after day or two with fresh ears and yes that would be great idea.what happened with the power band ?
