Sludge Mix, what do you think??

[vehy]

Hey,

I'm new to this forum (and also to mixing/recording) but I already learnt a lot from it. Here's my last mix. The vocals are missing for now, the singer is abroad.

I used my baritone guitar tuned in G direct to my soundcard and lepou Legion and impulses. Bass is the same guitar but with a microPOG in front of the soundcard. I do have a bass but I gave up on using it with such tuning.

Help would be appreciated a lot

Thanks!

Now that i'm giving it a second listening, I think the guitars really lack presence compared to other stuff I can A/B it with....

Do you have any tips on how I could fix that?

Sounds to djenty to be sludge imo.

Maybe something a bit more Armed for the Apocalypse would suit these guys better if they really wanna be sludge?

I mean, THIS is sludge haha

yeah right, not totally the same sound

Normally we should record using (really) big amps soon. I have a thunderverb200 for guitars and a peavey Classic 400 for bass. But I wanted to try it using amps sims.

BTW I'm really digging the guitar sound on the stuff you posted for Herder. Did you use room mics for the guitars?

Seriously??
I made a GGG tuned muff once, which is basically the same thing than the bluebeard, but Ive never tried to plug it in my soundcard.

It sounds good infront of the pod man.

I used the bassman amp with a 1x15 on the pod haha+
