Some random stuff I did tonight, few hours work and kinda just thrown together. Done more for fun than for serious tunes, but I thought you may dig it.

Drums: BFD2 with Platinum Samples' Evil Drums and Glamoflage packs. I use stock beats that come with BFD2 and the expansion packs, nothing is programmed by me, alas.
Guitars: Fulltone OCD + Big Muff into RevalverMKIII for a clean amp and cab simulation.
Bass: Ampeg SVX

Liberal use of the Stillwell range of plugins, inside Reaper. I'm aware that the bass has some loud spots in the track... that's my crappy Cort bass resonating too much when I play certain frets, and my inadequate compression!

Stuff is vaguely in a Kyuss sort of vein.

Finally then.... this one:

It's a bit of a Eulogy (Tool) rip-off, but screw it, I'm having fun for the first time in quite a while, making music by myself and not with the band.

Same configuration as above, except that the Big Muff is nowhere to be seen. Distortion is Fulltone OCD into the RevalverMKIII Flathill clean channel. The groove is my own programming also.

Reverb and delay come from Boss RV-5 and Line 6 DL-4. Flanger in there also on some parts, which is a Boss BF-3. Wah is a Boss V-wah.

Shit.. I have quite a bit of Boss gear I suddenly realise!

If anyone were up for writing some stuff in a collaborative manner, I could be pursuaded

Sounds great ! I love the drums and the programming
I think the guitars sound mono.. if you want, you can try double tracking and panning them 100/100 or something. The guitars sound good and the effects add a nice atmosphere

 

[drew_drummer]

Guitars ARE double tracked!!

Post on soundclick. Id love to listen but I hate to download.

 

[drew_drummer]

I don't like Soundclick, sorry. If you do want to listen, and if you have Quicktime installed, it will automatically start streaming the mp3 - or it should anyway.

I went ahaed and downloaded and listened. I was surprised. Most stuff posted here is speed metal. Im not into speed metal. Im old school. I enjoyed the material. Explain how you recorded the guitar and double tracked the guitars. I feel they need more seperation too. Maybe something I or someone can help you with. I getting tired so Im off to bed. I check post tomorrow

 

[drew_drummer]

Cheers dude. Yeah, I'm not so much into the speedy thrashy stuff, not really my taste.

Output of my pedals, into my Hi-Z input on my Mackie Satellite, which in turn went into RevalverMKIII on two tracks. Riffs recorded in seperate takes, then panned. I think the issue is my monitoring at home isn't setup the best it could be, I'll have a look at that.

Im a Mackie user too. Are you using Tracktion 2 ? I have a Onyx 1640 mixer (love it). I tend to use extremely different tones when I have dual guitars. That helps with the seperation too. If you have monitor issues, then use headphones. I know many say not to use phones, but if you have a somewhat descent set, it can help. Sennheiser makes some very nice phones. I have Sonys. Yamahas, and Sennheisers and the Sennheisers are my favorite. I have a $24 set that sound better than my $150 Sony and Yamahas. Go figure. Anyway, headphones can help when your acoustic environment is not helping.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Nah, I use Reaper. Don't even have any headphones!!
