The cold breeze that removed all my musical intererest is gone.. finally something I want to finish ..

It isn't really mixed with a finished product in mind, just something I did very quick to separate the instruments while I write

Cool writing, keep going at it. I'm loving the guitar tone. The kick drum is reeeeeally clicky in the very high end, though, it sounds like a paper head and a plastic beater!

 

[Virgil.]

Me thinks you should upload this as a mix for all of us to try? See if we can make these plugs sound better than the creator can. bwahaha

By the way, awesome song man! Great songwriting!

 

[jauernis]

Wow the feeling you bring with your guitar playing is phenomenal!! Awesome song/production all around .............finish it!!!!

 

[IHHguitar]

^What he said. This is phenomenal, man!

 

[OneDaySky]

[onqel]

I didn't really think I would get so much positive feedback ; )

stephen: thanks dude! gonna try finish it ..

I can here that the guitars are played very well. But please, share some info´s about your chain. When using ampsims, my guitars are always on top sounding with no depth at all.

 

[AeternusEternus]

if you haven't been listening to dark tranquillity, do so now, and you'll probably have this song finished in a heartbeat

 

[Ermz]

Cool man! You evoke some good sounds with your guitar playing.

Did you quad track and use both Lecto and X50 on rhythms, or Lecto rhythms and X50 leads?

 

[AntonioPetrole]

<3

 

[onqel]

Ermz: Lecto for lead and X50 for rythms .. didn't quad track (I don't do it at all actually, because of my bad timing)

 

[fatalforce]

nice smooth guitar tone. The clarity in the mix is very nice. good job

I'm enjoying x50 very much. Thanks onqel!

 

[onqel]

this time I actually tried to apply a hint of ReaVerberate on the rythm guitars last in the chain as an experiment in a attempt to make them sound more alive/glued together..

Metalmiller: I will show the full chain of the rythm guitar later today if you're still interested

 

[sexan]

yea please post the info for rythm guitars

 

[Mago]

Sweet man! Your stuff always rocks!

Very smooth and clean mix. I'm in love of the X50.
We worship you.

 

[Virgil.]

Although I think the songwriting is amazing, I'm not a fan of that lead tone. For some reason it's just grating on my ears. Am I the only one? The tone just sounds kind of plastic. I like the rhythm guitars tho and the rest of the mix.

 

[onqel]

ubrsyntx: thanks for your honesty I'm not lying if I say that I suck at lead tones.. so.. do you have any tips for a new chain?
