TS9+XXX+Harley... again

[Noumenon]

Yet another tune. This a bit more serious.
Do think I have some pumping problem with the bass, not sure yet.

Anywaaas, here goes: Insomnia 2007-06-22

EDIT:
Did some editing, changed the drums, brought back some mids in the guitars, took some lowend of the kick, reduced some of the guitargain on the bass. Probobly something more.

[Noumenon]

any thoughts?

 

[Nebulous]

Guitar sound is pretty cool. Once again I can't believe it's an XXX. Btw, I checked out your band when you posted somethnig in anohter thead. Good stuff!

 

[LSD-Studio]

the guitars sound awesome!
(the hihat sounds shit though...in general the sound would really benefit from real drums (overheads at least))

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

The second one is better but I agree with LSD the drums especially the high hat sounds yuck-ola, erm I mean bad.

 

[Noumenon]

argh. always those damn drums. hate them
did another mix yesterday 2007-06-24

Any pointers as to what to do with the drums are welcome

 

[AudioPhile777]

something about the cymbals are bugging the shit out of me... they distract from everything else...

and then the toms are too loud... lol.

 

[Noumenon]

lol. yeah. the toms. ahum. forgot?

hm. it's not that I've used a HPF at 600Hz and boosted a bit at 14kHz on the OHs?

EDIT:
Mixed the drums from scratch just now: 2007-06-25

 

[jesus69lol]

Can you post your settings and signal chain? I have an XXX and your sound is light years ahead of what I'm getting from mine.

 

[AudioPhile777]

I think the snare is too upfront now... other than that it sounds great...

i cant tell... is there a bass in there?

 

[Noumenon]

audiophile777: there is bass there yes but it's only really noticable in the clean break and when you mute it. what I mainly find hard is to get the OHs and Snare to sound decent.

jesus69lol. I maxed all the EQ knobs, then took the mids & bass down a bit. Also have a TS9 infront of it (drive 9, tone 11, level 12) and the channel volume is at max. 2 guitars on the crunch channel and 2 on the ultra, same setting on both. Did have to match the gain though, so they aren't the same.

Took this pic of the crunch/ultra channels:

EDIT:
Better snare now?

I also tried to use a sidechained comp on the OHs. Feels wierd though.

 

[jesus69lol]

what did you do for the clean tone?

 

[Nebulous]

WTF?!?!?! Now it makes sence, your gain is only on like 0.5 and 1 haha! I mean, even with a TS in front, that's insane that you have to keep the gain that low on an amp to have a usable tone. That's the very reason I didn't get the amp, but I really like the tone you're getting from it, so good on you.

 

[Noumenon]

Hehe yeah. the gain is kinda low I do think you can mod the amp so it's not that much gain.

jesus69lol: clean is Treble 10, Mid 10, Bass 0, Volume 11.00. And I think I used either the bridge pickup or both neck and bridge.

 

[SyxStringSlayer]

None of the sound clips work.

 

[jesus69lol]

Ya not workin for me either which is a shame because they are some crushing tones if memory serves :-\

 

[SyxStringSlayer]

[SyxStringSlayer]
