REVISIT - Nickelback COVER

[Melb_shredder]

Hey guys. I did this a little while back and finally got around to playing with the mix a little more. The kicks are 80% natural. The snare is 75% natural and the toms completely natural. But they were old skins :\ Badly tuned too...

But I'm really happy with how it came out. it's not Randy mix haha. But I'd love your thoughts guys

I still find the guitar tone a bit shrill (same as last time), love the drums though And jeez, Habsburgs- there's proof on a plate a good vocal is like two thirds of a mix! I didnt realise there was an animals mogg about.

 

[Melb_shredder]

Thanks guys!
Well the guitars are Nick Crow 8505 with tons of EQ haha. It's a struggle because all the choruses are actually quad tracked with a different tone in the original (have a listen) so I tried to get a mid ground. Mostly I'm just proud of the drums and bass haha. I'd probably reamp the guitars for shits and giggles with my Blackface recto if I get a chance!

HABSBURGS: That's fucking awesome dude!!!!!! Thanks for doing that hahaha XD

[Ngoc]

[Melb_shredder]

Where did you get the vocal track??

I think it sounds pretty awesome! Only gripe is the bass is bland.

 

[bryan_kilco]

Damn, this sounds huge man! Good work! How F&$K do you get your kicks and snares sounding so damn huge with them being so natural?!?!

 

[Melb_shredder]

@Derykus - would it be fair to say the bass is bland on the actual song?

@Bryan - honestly... Havin a drummer who hits like he's in the mob and the kit owes him money! Seriously :/

 

[bassguy]

Dat guitar tone

I hadn't actually heard the song in years - but that is what stuck out to me. I went and listened, and you're right, it is quite bland on the actual song. I would say that yours is missing just a little bit of clank and is a touch too round, but it's actually fairly close after comparing.

Cheers dude I feel the same, so I'm happy with that

Damn. Our drummer hits pretty hard but I always have a problem with the snare being too thin, too boxy, or too pingy.

 

[Melb_shredder]

Hmmm... Well we spent about 45 minutes micing the snare and it's just 2 x sm57's. There's some surgical EQ on it, compression, saturation sim (yep), limiter... Umm, and yeah, like 20% sample of some samples I have at like -4db in trigger (it was mostly for a better room sample)

I've also recorded a nickelback cover last week, check it out.
I sweat my ass off mixing it and didn't get satisfied.
anyway...



btw, fantastic tone!
