Okay so I've finally had a listen through!
I think so far my favourites are the ones submitted by GoddamnGuitar, Sysera, Morgoe & punckrock.
GoddamnGuitar: The most crushing one, without doubt. Very strong tone and a lack of fizz, which I really like. The drawback is that it seems to sound a little 'pushed' or forced, like I'm hearing some phase/off-axis tone from the speaker. This might be part of your style though, and why you always get such crushing raw tones on the clips?
Morgoe: Smooth sounding, but a little bit cloudy. The vocals brought the lolz
punckrock: Smooth sounding once again and I really like the gain on this one. It has a certain compressed quality to it. It's closer to the tones I was playing with earlier. A bit strong in the tubby frequency region.
Sysera: Strong tone but I think it has a bit too much of that off-axis cloudiness to be useful in this case. Plus it's kind of hard to tell from this clip because the entire mix has been smashed so hard! Sounds crushing, but definitely has a bit too much of that off-axis cloudiness. May have worked if you were reamping Evergrey's 'The Inner Circle'!
Okay so what I'll do is muse over these for a day and also send the links to the band for them to give some feedback. If you 4 guys could by any chance send me short snippets of the raw guitars so I can put them in the mix myself and make sure they are all at perceptibly equal volume for fairness that would be great.
Everyone else, thank you so much for taking the time to try it out. Hopefully next time around those tones will be more suited to the project.
