some Death with beaten up equipment

[Skaldir]

This session turned out a bit better than I thought, after the guys came in with their equipment.
They wanted a really raw Entombish sound.
I test drived my self build e-drum for the first time, but told the drummer to bring his cymbals AND cymbal stands. He forgot the stands, so I gave him some stuff I could find. Gaffa was our friend. Only the ride cymbal was good, the crash and hi-hat sounded horrible, and still do
But they weren't so serious about all this and had fun and liked the result.

The guitars were some cheap B.C Rich --> Hm-2 --> Windsor --> GuitarHacks Grind-impulse

E-drums into SSD, cymbals miked with an Oktava Mk-012 ORTF

Vocals AT 4050 --> Mindprint Envoice --> UAD comp and eq plugs

Drums are way too hifi for those guitars. I think a louder bass guitar would be cool too, and the vocals need to come up a bit too.

 

[P-E]

Guitars sound way too grindy (even for old school DM), is it really wanted? It almost sounds as if the impulse was not 100% wet.

In your defense though, I have a cheap BC Rich and know for the love of god it's a bitch to get a good tone out of it.

Well, technically everything was ok with the impulse setting. They totally love the guitar sound. They wanted it as raw as possible.
I even told them, look even when the guitars are soloed you can barely hear what they play and they said "yes, thats how it should be!!"
I know its a kinda unusual guitar sound, but it has its place I guess.
The song will be released on a split 7" and I allready got payed. This project is finished, but I wanted to upload it anyway for you guys here for the lulz

Oh well. You got them what they wanted, and that's what you're supposed to do, great then!

Yeah, thanks for your comments!

I think it sounds fucking incredible dude, pure fucking filth!

not sure about those guitars myself, but its what they wanted.

I agree with morgan. more bass, and definitely more vocals.
