[tone] impulses, fredman, which sounds better?

[Dexter_prog]

I am comparing some different impulse combinations (as in the Fredman technique) and I need some opinions. Which sound better to you? If anyone is interested I can post chain and impulse details

Mix (guitars, bass, drums):
far far
mix 50
mix cap
mix cap far

Solo (guitars only, no bass):
far far (solo)
mix 50 (solo)
mix cap (solo)
mix cap far (solo)

updated here

You can also let me know what you would fix in those tones or in the one you like (if you happen to like one) to make it better as this is my first attemp at recording something

Offtopic question: quite often there are diferences in volume between the right and left tracks playing the same riffs. What should I be using to make them sound at the same volume?

Well I preferred the far far one. The others had some weird mids that i didn't like.

to even out the guitars, send them to a bus and compress =]

I'm trying but I am not getting the desired effect. How much threshold, attack and release should I be using?

 

[Nuno Filipe]

did you put a High pass in those guitars? I dont think so. They are too bassy.

 

[Dexter_prog]

Yeah, they are high and low passed (80 and 10500)

none of the links are working for me - im getting a dropbox (500) error

 

[Dexter_prog]

Are you sure? I just tried them and they work perfectly :/

The far far one sounds pretty cool, but they're all really bassy.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

The mix cap it´s the better for me. But you have to work a lot more on those tones. they sound to closed, too bassy without brightness/clarity. It could be a problem of the sound quality of the DI´s.

 

[Allu83]

am I the only one who prefer the "mix-cap"?
oh no, wait... there are 2 other guys! I'm not completly deaf af list!

btw, I agree with what they already said.. all of them sounds too bassy to me..

 

[Dexter_prog]

I lowered the bass knob and added some more trebble. I've updated the 2 ones that people voted and now I am liking mix cap more than far far, though I am still not satisfied with the tone.

far far 2
mix cap 2

Far Far for me

The whole mix is pretty meh dude and the guitar tones are pretty poor as well.
All the tones are muffled. Needs more 6-7Khz content, and high pass at around 100-110Hz could help too.
It's hard to even vote on any of the tones because none of them sound particularly good at all.

It's actually a premix. It's just the project where I am tracking the guitars and it's the first time ever I am recording something, so I need to learn a lot.

What about this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1643345/zz9...- For The Ghosts Of Our Times -- new tone.mp3 ?

now i can hear the bass. but to be honest i preferred the rather modest top end of the first two clips (far far & mix 50). if you ask me i'd combine the "earlier treble with the latter bass". i think the earlier tones were a better match for the riff just a tad overly bass heavy
