Vildhjarta Guitar Sound

[Daller]

Hey Guys!

I'm really impressed by this guitarsound, but i don't know how to achieve it.
Is it possible that they use parallel-compression on the guitars or something like that?





please help me!

 

[RandomOne]

it's all about guitar/pickups and then to a free amp sim to get a pretty similar sound.

 

[crillemannen]

I know Daniel. It is POD

 

[Daller]

okay, i don't have POD, so i guess it will be nearly impossible to get that sound

 

[crillemannen]

Ill see if i can make Daniel shim in hear and explain what they used when he is online.

That mix does something really weird at like 43 seconds and flares up retardedly loud for like 1 beat... I cant tell why... But i like the tone...

 

[prostetnic]

Pickups, bass, pod and over-editing to death and beyond...

 

[otop]

If you don't own a pod I know programs like guitar rig and pod farm can give you that tone.
Achieving that sound is a matter of blending the bass and the electric guitar in a way that the guitar fills the highs and high mids and the bass acts as the bottom end of the guitar.
These tones tend to only sound good when used in this particular genre (because the bass always follows the guitar)

haha, thats the ridiculous amounts of compression they have on the mix...
Whats happening is during the silence the compressor(s) are "releasing" and when the mix kicks back in the compressor is attacking back into what sounds like a large amount of gain reduction.. So that loud BOOM you hear is just the compressors taking time to "attack" back into the normal gain reduction they are functioning at.

I figured it was pumping just making sure i wasnt crazy... I dont master my own tracks so i have never compressed something that much lol

I love seeing newbs offering up advice for things they think they know a lot about.

THe 'clean' tone there could also be a POD, and it is beautiful.. I have some clean POD tones that are surprisingly great (even w/o tweaking much), totally usable
..not the case w high gain, we all know why (which is, ironically, what they focused on)

 

[OneDaySky]

Quite a brutal tone Like It!

That sounds like youtube's compression more than anything else

newbs to the forum = newbs to recording?


i mean like i dont know the guy but thats kind of a shot in the dark

 

[crillemannen]

I spoke to Daniel. It is POD with BossGe7 boost before the POD

 

[DjentMan]

this band is awesome, waiting for the release.

You both assume I'm talking about the OP. I wasn't. It wasn't pointed at either of you either. We've had lots of "trolls" around here lately, and this was targeted at one in-particular. No need to take offense Otop, relax.

thanks crillemannen, like i said before, i don't have POD. but it's useful to know
what they have used. maybe i will purchase it in the near future
