Very Short Machine Head Cover

[cobhc]

Ok, so I was listening to Days Turn Blue To Grey and was loving the production as always, so I picked an easy riff and decided to try and get close to it, anyone think I'm anywhere near with this mix?

im not sure as i don't have my cd's near by to refrance but i think it sounds real good bro!

 

[cobhc]

Thanks man, this has gotta be one of my favourite sounding albums, and definitely my favourite CR mix.

 

[Pman]

the guitars are awsome
and the drums are well mixed
(although u can tell theyre programmed but obviously thats not the point)

 

[cobhc]

Thanks a lot Pman. Yeah it's so hard to get them to not sound programmed.

 

[Black neon bob]

Sounds cool dude!

Too short though, haha.. as always... you should probably finish this one up and add some vocals and shit, it's a cool song and the mix you have here sound good... it's is clipping a bit over here though, that mix is loud yo!

Cheers for the extra download link b.t.w... yousendit is the devil and you all using it will get their harddrives erased soon because you use yousendit..

i like that snare!

 

[cobhc]

Thanks bob, yeah it probs is a little loud, get your ass on msn man.

 

[fistula]

hey tell me what your using on guitar/bass? (POD?)

nice sound - but i think must be less reverb...
a little bit roomy sound

Guitars

Jackson with EMG 81 into Lee Jackson GP-1000 Preamp, Peavey Classic Series 50/50 Poweramp using the direct out. I then did 2 tracks using Splat's off axis impulse (57 +3_00.wav) and also 2 tracks using Kazrog's Mesa cab impulse (Mesa4x12_IR.wav) through Voxengo Pristine Space.

Bass

Spectrasonics Trilogy running into the AmpegSVX Plugin using the "Midrangey Bridge" preset, and some SSL Comp.

As far as the drums sounding too roomy, you're probably right, not had a listen on cans to check out the verb. Thanks for your comments.

 

[Radd]

Sounds great cobhc!

 

[Mood Bender]

that sounds great man...

 

[GuitarHack]

Nice guitar sound dude. A didn't know impulses could sound so good.

 

[sincethefailing]

digging the guitar sound...

 

[Jackal_Strain]

The guitars sound pretty killer, allthough they don't sound like Machine Head to me. The click in the bass drum is killing me though. You should turn it down a bit.

 

[cobhc]

Right, I turned the limiter down some, turned down the drum verb, and turned the kick down a little, here's the result...

[Radd]

Awesome.

 

[cobhc]

Prefer the new version?

 

[Radd]

Oh yeah. Drums sound definitely better.

 

[Jackal_Strain]

Yeah, the whole thing sounds much better now. I think the guitars could use a ltiny bit more highs, but I'm a treble whore.

 

[VH100R]

Nice!

Could you post a picture of your Pristine Space window? I would like to see how you used some settings.

good job!

take care dude:Smokin:
