SoloC, Real bass, Superior 2, Soft-core

[onqel]

Hi guys

This is the first thing I have made in 3 months or so.. my creativity is divided by zero

So i made this clip that I hope will end up in a full-length song..
I modified Lekteri's superior preset for this one, and replaced the kick and blended in a new snare sample.. The guitars are GGate > TSS > SoloC > Boogex > EQ > ReaXComp .. with CatharsisStudios impulse for the 100 L/R guitars and the "Englv30higherpres" impulse for the 70 L/R guitars..

Both guitar and bass are low-budget instruments with stock pickups.. ESP EC-50 and Ibanez GSR-200

Where should I go from here? How do you guys work/write when you have sorted out one part, and want to move on to the next.. I'm stuck

I programm a beat I like and run it in loop while jamming to it until I find something that fits to the first part but is something new.

Great sound/riff by the way!

where did you find the andy sneap attack/release/ratio settings? I could really use em.

 

[onqel]

 

[Iamsparrow]

Awesome thanks... It helps to own c4.... the guitar distortion sounds verrry light unmixed. Is it supposed to be this way or am i doing something wrong

 

[onqel]

Did you use the Engl impulses?

 

[Iamsparrow]

ya i found the Englv30higherpres impulse but not the other. is there any additional settings i need to put in in boogex?... Edit: haha i just had to turn up the drive in boogex. What are your settings? Not tryin to copy your tone completely but this is probably one of the best tones ive heard from plugins on this forum.

 

[onqel]

No.. Set the tone / drive and dynamics to 0 ..

It's a little bright without the bassguitar and the two different guitar settings doesn't sound that good when played alone.. It's better when they all are blended..

http://www.theserinaexperiment.net/other/guitars/guitarsonly.mp3
that is how it sounds without rest of the mix

 

[Iamsparrow]

hmmm... Stills sounds weird without the drive turned up in boogex... What do you mean by "parameter settings w/o gui" Im still kinda a noob at this

 

[onqel]

In Reaper you can click a "UI" button to see the parameter settings of the plugin.. this disables the GUI I just thought this was a more accurate way of showing the settings
but anyway.. you should'nt use the Drive button because it's a part of the amp-section of Boogex.. that is what you have SoloC for These settings works for my guitar.. and won't sound 100% the same with your guitar.. You'll have to find a way to make it sound good to you

 

[Iamsparrow]

HAHAHA Figured it out... on the solo c settings you wrote down all the numbers after a decimal point. Don't know if that was intentional but Its cool now.... YOU Fuckin Rule

 

[Erik Monsonis]

I absolutely love your style man, awesome!!

 

[Iamsparrow]

Anyways back on topic.... Maybe you should try some single string riffing afterwards like in "Swim" by inflames... just a suggestion

Hi, I have a question for you. Actually for everyone. Do you guys use multiband compressors like C4 on guitar bus or on every single channel? I'm a little bit clueless here, usually I put a stereo comp on guitar bus.

 

[88mph]

Btw, damn good mix. The sounds reminds me a Finnish band (can't remember the name though)
