Hola peoples,
As some you may know, I finally have acquired and Axe-Fx ULTRA and have been plugging away at creating some tones while I wrap my head around this awesome piece of equipment (it's easy to make great-sounding tones from the get go, but the sheer amount of advanced options you have like sag, bias, etc etc is ridiculous and a bit intimidating). So I bring you THREE little clips for you to criticize/praise.
The first one is entitled "VIOLINS!" which is based on a violin preset I tweaked and is purely my guitar and the Axe Fx ... this was just for fun
The second two tone tests are the start of our new mix for Friend For A Foe. It's a bit rough right now, but it's slowly getting there and is by no means a final mix even if does sound uber tasty at the moment. In order to give us a more unique drum sound, I spent a good while combining snare and kick samples from Metal Foundry and Steven Slate Drums and the overheads and toms from Metal Foundry. Needless to say, I'm happy with the results so far. It's an UBER punchy kit, but sounds very natural imo so as the tones progress, so will the kit. Not bad for a first draft methinks.
The bass is also using Ampeg SVX instead of Pod Farm 2 like I normally do ... I'm still trying to decide which to use, but I love the way the bass sits in the mix and really compliments everything.
Anyways, let me know what you think!
