OK - here are some settings. I'm flattered that someone is actually asking me for this stuff, so I hope it helps someone. I'd still love to hear from anyone who can help me with the drums in particular - to me they just don't sound like what I was hoping to get from this mix.
Guitars -
- Quad tracked via a countryman direct box into 4 mono tracks in logic
- The only effects are Revalver and waves C4 - no EQ, etc. (see screens)
- Guitars are panned 1 hard left, 1 mid left (about -30), 1 mid right (about +30) and 1 hard right.
- Hard left and right are the 6505's using Awesometime impulse. The inner guitars are the ACM's using Guitarhack's "Edge Sneap"
- C4 is set up using Andy's C4 preset that is in the FAQ on this board
Bass is Ampeg SVX with the "Rock SVT-4 1" Preset and a Waves L1 Limiter.
The Bass is my recently replaced, noise-ridden Ibanez, recorded direct via my countryman DI
Kick and Snare are SSD (Kick 5 and Snare 12a)
The remaining Drums are SD2.0 with a bunch of effects that would probably make you vomit if you knew what I did.
As I said - I'm really not happy with the drum sounds. The toms sound like cardboard to me. I like the kick and snare, but that's about it...
I think I need to start spending more time finding "space" for everything in my mixes. Right now, it sounds like all of the instruments are fighting for the same frequency range, which makes this mix sound muddy and "small." Some of the mixes that you guys post on this board are just ridiculously huge, and so professional sounding, that I'm humbled by everyone's work on a daily basis.
Any other questions, please feel free to ask.
