Tonetest now with SSD 3.0

[Nukular!]

Hi there!

Here is a quick test of my new guitar tone (SoloC/Gearbox blend) with some drums. I totally suck at drum programming... just wanted to see how the sounds fit together. Two sloppy guitar tracks, SSD 3.0 and no bass. What do you think?

Add a bass and you´ve a really good overall sound. It sounds good for my ears Good job!

Thanks a lot!!!
Yesterday I couldn't resist trying out the Slate drums. And I'm working on a bass sound.

One question (even though this isn't important at the moment) - are the cymbals too loud? Hmmmm...

Same here.

It doesn't seem the cymbals are too loud. Throw a mix with some bass and we'll tell you.

Ok, now with bass. It's a quick test, same clip. Just changed the highpass to 100Hz on the guitars.

Unfortunately I had not enough time to deal with the bass according to the great tips from this thread: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/production-tips/484245-metal-bass.html

I'm not sure... sounds lifeless. What do you think? Help higly appreciated!
Thanks.

Sounds pretty killer to me !!! I wouldn't change shit ! And i love the guitar tone (drums sound sweet as well, and the bass does its job perfectly).

Sounds great to me!

Wow thanks guys!
I really didn't expect a positive feedback... had to do it with shitty headphones, so adjusting the bass was more guessing than knowing. Not that my "monitors" are better - some old Creative 2.1 PC system.
BTW any suggestions for ~200 EUR max (active) monitors for beginners???
