Riffing with LOG kick and snare

[NeilOC]

Hey all, first post.
Thought I'd upload a track.
I used drumkit from hell with lamb of gods kick and snare from sacrament.
Great tips on this forum, I'm getting alot closer to the sound i want!

Thanks! no problem.

The guitars are a little under-gained for my tastes but it sounds very LOG'ish. What did you use? Mark series boogie perhaps?

 

[NeilOC]

yeah i'd like more gain but I used a toneport and gearbox and i've found the only way to get a working sound is if back off the gain a bit.
If I go for crushing heavy it won't sit in the mix at all.
Wish I could use my jmp super lead!

I like it, guitars sound great to me.
BTW, please excuse the total n00b question but I'm new to EZDrummer and I can't figure out how to add in your samples. Any hints?

I use drumagog to replace the kick and snare.
Works great.

Ah cheers. Was hoping there was a way to just drop the wav in the EZD library and chose it in the plug.. No worries.

Hey dude, I like this man! It has a very cool LOG feel to it, which I like. And that guitar sound is awesome, it was good enough for people to think it was really a Mesa Boogie dude! That proves it was a good sound.

Thanks man!
i usually end up burned out after recording for a long time, completely clueless as to the songs quality, so it's great to get some feedback.

Hey dude, its worth spending the time on your stuff if it means it is quality! I have spent the last 6 weeks working on a song, recording tracks, drums and shit, and I still have not even found a good guitar sound yet

Stop being an asshole to me dude

I thought that people didn't like the drum sound on sacrament? I'm sure I have read a few people on here saying it sounding like toy drums even. I personally really like the drum sound!

 

[GarethSE]

yea a lot of people dislike it but fuck them

They sound like they are there, in front of you! Its a really cool sound.
