Starting to feel pretty hopeless (In need of an AE diagnosis)

AE = audio engineer, too ;p

Cheers for the all round rapid help!

Those guitars still sound very sharp and nasty to me Dodo, way OTT on the high end.

 

[cobhc]

Cryo, do you have the midi file for those drums?

Edit: Messing with those DI's I can't seem to dial out that nasty high end squawking, that's probably the pickups. Slap some EMG's in there and you'll be good to go.

I plan on getting a new guitar with some EMG's fitted now (I like the old guitar as a rock thing) Maybe a schecter C1 or an LTD.

Ok, reamped guitars through the same chain as my 8505 clip, but tweaked them a little to try and reduce some of the harsher high end, I also re programmed some of the drums, seemed to suit the riffs more IMO, dunno whether you agree but let me know.

The low end sounds huge on that! Any chance of some screens? (Unless you posted them elsewhere, I did look but couldn't find anything)

Drums are cool man, I like the fill before the riffs change.

Same as the ones Dandelium posted just with the highs turned down to something like 10 o clock.

 

[Cryo114]

Cheers man!

It's probably cause you're mixing in pro tools or something. Get nuendo, it has so much more depth, and alot more headroom. It'll really make your mixes get that boom!

So they do
Didn't really notice until I compared them with the clip you posted
I'll probably have another crack at this tomorrow

Newest attempt, are we there yet?

 

[Cryo114]

Oooh! oooh!

Thats a good question actually. I've never filtered but I did have to use a de esser on a DI because I was getting a horrible scratchy 3k and it just kept it under control.

That shit I am going to try!

 

[cobhc]

That might be just the ticket, I'll have to look into that on your DI's.

 

[Cryo114]

Certainly seems to have helped a bit. But let me know what you think.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1029645/DI Eqed.mp3

Started of de-essing but that didnt seem to do much, so I went for a multi band, but all I ended up doing was limiting, so in the end EQ did the best. A big 0.5 octave drop to nothing at 2 k and lowpassed there up.

 

[cobhc]

Seems a little better, but yeah I really don't think that combo of guitar and pickups makes for an easy heavy tone lol.

 

[Cryo114]

lol Not one bit.

But this is all good learning and it will cover me for a while till I can get myself a new guitar.

Hey all, I just wondered if any one knew where this 8505 chain clip / dandelium settings could be found??

 

[MetalMiller]

Dandelium 8505 settings...
