Short Metallica cover... re-attempting Enter Sandman...

[Rex Rocker]

So after 9 months of owning it, I think I finally dialed a decent tone in my POD XT for both bass and guitar...

I'm sorry I'm boring you with the same old Enter Sandman lick I've recorded before, but I think this one came out sounding somewhat good compared to the other two, so please take a listen and tell me what you think! I'm really excited about it.

Both guitars and bass are L6 Big Bottom model... I absolutly love the combination of the DiMarzio Super Distortion on my Ibby with the BB model... gives it a HUGE overall tone, much like what I'm looking for!

Thanks for listening!

BTW, don't mind the snare much... I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get my snare to sound good without replacement on the Addictive Drums demo...

I'm diggin the tone, however, I find it a bit thin at times, maybe you could try adding another track on the middle or quadtracking it(don't know if you already did it).
Do you mind sharing your POD tone?

 

[Rex Rocker]

Thanks! Nope, this is dual-tracked... maybe I should experiment, tho...

This is a screenshot of the POD tone... I don't know how to post the patch online so I hope this does it for now, lol. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h202/rex_rocker/Picture1-11.png

don't dig that off-axis tone. I'd change it into on-axis and I'd put the screamer tone to 75%, imho i.e.

 

[Rex Rocker]

so you think it needs more higher mids?

 

[hoehlentroll]

i'm not sure wether you can compensate off-axis with equing, but it's worth trying!

 

[Rex Rocker]

Yeah, thanks! I'm gonna try experimenting mixing the on and off-axis too... I think I've still got the dry guitars to re-amp...

Sounds cool Rex!

The Guitars definitely sound chubby, but I think it works really well. Kinda sounds like All That Remains' new album.

Maybe a little bit more hi end crunch would be good.

boost the mids buddy - your eq is looks like a very happy smile and i dont think your snare sits well in the mix, try adding some reverb

 

[Rex Rocker]

thanks, Bob! I just replied to your PM, BTW!

Thanks Unavailable! Yeah, I dialed in just a wee-bit less low-end on the guitars to make the high-end come out a bit more.

Mick, do you think it sounds THAT midscooped? Do you mean on the guitars or on the whole mix?
