what do you guys think?

the guitars were esp-viper 400fm
and a 79 tele

love the guitar tone!
the performance is not the best though... sounds like everything is played somewhat to the click but not dead on and certainly not tight with each other. listen to the damping parts, the right guitar is rushing all over the place. the groove would be a lot better if it all were nice and tight. it surely has potential though!
at first I was wondering if there was bass at all but it's there allright (I actually only hear it because of the untightness) think it could stick out more soundwise and stick out less performance wise
oh yeah: the subrdop sounds like ass, my farts sound cleaner than that!
but hey: GREAT GUITAR TONE and the song surely has potential!

Nice and crunchy dude, didn't think the XXX could do that. maybe a bit too abrasive but I think it works nicely.

Prog'd dwumz?

yuh yuh pro'g drumzz caz i cant mikz kits now D! but yeah thanks for the info guys. yeah the right guitar would be my buddy, haha he hears everything in his head in 3/4 so i had work with him a bit, i love that bass drop. it does wonders in that car bass is fake and so are the drums

 

[punkrockacademyfightsong]

I don't think there's anything wrong with the bassdrop itself, it's just that your masterbus precessing can't handle it and farts all over the place sorry for being so straight forward by the way, overall the sounds are really good.
the bass being fake explains a lot, can't expect it to have much character and growl then...

 

[CatharsisStudios]

well i mean its, guitar > pitchshift > ampeg svx

i like my bassdrops to destroy the mix but thats the core kid in me

really sick man, kinda like a lighter adtr, with nfg

 

[westandredeemed]

the guitar tone sounds like four year strong!!!!
which is my favorite.
are you using a tube screamer or anything?
the amps gain sound so tight to just be the amp.
i think you could fit a 5150 in here too

anyways, good job on the tones, just not tight playing at all.

 

[BC666]

IMHO there`s clipping at the begining

 

[JeffTD]

Sounds very FYS ish! Digging it. On laptop at the mo' so can't fairly judge the mix. Vocals will really make or break this one, but I agree that the guitarist could be tighter.


That programmed beat with the ride towards the middle sounds 100% programmed... fuck with velocities and flamming or just change the beat in general.

[cobhc]

Calm down Morgoe it wasn't him, it was iambrando.

 

[Morgan C]

Well it was a month old thread and there are 3 or 4 others like this :/ I just don't see the point.

 

[HeadCrusher]

How much of that tone is the XXX and how much is the Orange?
I'm asking because of this thread (especially the last postings): http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/481133-official-peavey-xxx-thread-4.html

IMHO there`s clipping at the begining

Yeah, I heard that too.
