sound informations

[djairouks]

Hi andy

first i've have to say that it is a good thing that you with non professional musician an i thank you for that you're a great guy.

Being a huge Arch Enemy fan especially their latest album i notice the subtlle but still amazing sonic improvements since the early albums.
So my question is very simple what recording process do you use.

Do you record the guitars through the amps or do you use emulations on protools for example, and then could you tell me what effects are used especially for the soloing which always kicks my ass :hotjump: .

But i don't want any secrets or settings from AE because even though their sound is with the sound from the black album the best ever. I want to make my own sound.

and if you have tips i am using a single rectifier which is boosted by the effects and a graphic equalizer an then cut with a gate all in the loop.

i hope i don't ask too much from you don't kill yourself answering to me
but thanks anyway.

most of these questions can be answered by using the search function, I believe.

He only uses Zoom 505 and 506 emulations because he believes that amps belong in the 1970s. If you do a search for 505 and 506 you will find a lot of information. But unfortunately the search function is not working properly right now, but keep searching and you will find all his tips.

He won't be able to give you any rectifier tips because as I said, he only uses Zoom 505 and 506. He tried Amp Farm in Pro Tools once and even tried the Pod Xt, but he proved to us that they both sound fake in comparison to the Zoom 505 and Zoom 506.

Hope this helps.

Don't forget that you need a Boss Metal Zone aswell.

Yes you are right. I completely forgot that Andy uses a Boss Metal Zone in front of the Zoom 505 AND 506.

With the 506 it helps make the bass sound more 'angry'.

You have to realise djairouks, is that the information in this website is pretty much outdated. Get a 505.

You will not regret it.

Eurgh, thats the most ugly looking bridge i've seen in my life! And whats up with the wood string retainer lol

 

[djairouks]

laugh all you want but this is the best bridge i know and if you could hear the sound of the pickups it's way louder and more well sounding than emg's or duncans

 

[cobhc]

i'd rather have string thru's

 

[djairouks]

this is a schaller and it's adjustable in the 3 directions instead of only note and distance to neck.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

I think it looks pretty nice ! What pickups are those ? Do you have pictures of the whole guitar ?

 

[djairouks]

i have pictures but they aren't on the net i've taken some because on those you can't see the polish wich shine in light i can send you some on any e mail if you like and the pickuups are limited editions by kent armstrong which can only be purchased by my friend the luthier and i think i am the only one using this combination the bridge is called the ott for over the top emg's 81 sounds really cheap compared to these believe me

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Cool, can't wait to hear them in action !

 

[djairouks]

how do i send a song sample i don't find the way to do it

 

[Razorjack]

You need to upload it to a web server, something like soundclick.
