First of all I would like to thank MetalJonesy for letting me use his As I Lay Dying cover DI and backing tracks.
For the past few years I have stayed away from impulses just because I was using Gearbox and it was just the easy and, if you like, lazy thing for me to do.
Recently I have bought the Redwire Recto Cab impulses and no matter what I done I couldn't get a decent tone out of it which sounded solid and tight in a mix. It sounded like it had too much 'room' or 'air' in it. I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong as I could get half decent tones out of Gearbox very easily.
I understand EQ's and how to use them but it still didnt help so I thought that it was maybe something to do with my DI signal as I was running my guitar into a tube screamer and then into a toneport.
I then found MetalJonesy's DI tracks and messed around with these to see if my D.I's were the problem. Turns out it is. I was still getting a little hint of the 'roomeness' but it was alot more controllable.
Anyway, here is what I have come up with...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4835192/as_i_lay_dying_cover.mp3
The signal chain is
D.I > TSS > TSE X30 > Redwire Impulse (Recto Cab Tab57 Cap 1")
I didn't touch the backing track at all.
I kind of used it as learning tool to EQ the guitar tracks around the backing track.
Anyway, what do you think?
Any help on getting this to sound better would be greatly appreciated!
Oh BTW, does anybody know the name of this song so I can A'B my mix with the actual song!
