y First Reamping = Muddy and fizzy (need suggestions)

[lelahel]

here is my first reamp:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29226335/tonebass12349999999.mp3
the tone is muddy and fizzy and don't feet at all to the genre
so i tried to work on the mic placement and the amp settings, but without results!
the mudiness is still here !
the gear is : ltd mh400(emg81) with baritone d'addario strings 62-13 tuned in B +ts9 + krank rev+1 + weber mass + marshall 1936 v30

the DI tracks were recorded with a behringer ULTRA DI 100

so what you suggest me to do?
1- work again on the amp settings and mic placement
2- re record the DI tracks with a better quality DI (I recently buyed a radial j48)
3- change the strings gauge for example 52-11
4- change the tunning for a higher one and re record all the stuffs (bass, all guitars)

others suggestions are welcome

I wouldn't call that muddy man, sounds to me like it needs more gain and more low end.

 

[MisSigsFan]

Yeah, you gotta mess around with EQing. Definitely needs more low end.

 

[Melb_shredder]

Definitely agree with the others, more gain + some low end. It's not a bad tone at all

 

[lelahel]

thanks for your great help!
more gain and more low end:

what you think?
so is it enough?
should i add more gain?

 

[PremierProductions]

i would use even more gain and some presence on that tone. sounds a little too dark

Here is the new clip:

more gain, and more presence

what you think?

 

[lelahel]

bump

 

[PremierProductions]

not bad! give that tone a good high pass though so that none of the lows are getting out of control. i would cut a little out of 4k as well. or a little more if you have already done so

 

[lelahel]

i used a high pass at 75, and i'll cut more 4k to remove some unwanted 'zzzzzz' freq
thanks all for your great appreciated help

The guitars sound like a vintage metal tone. Wouldn't call it modern but it doesn't always have to be modern. Trust me, the problem in this clip is not the guitar. The drums/vocals could need some re-recording. Umm... guitars don't sound full. You are concentrating on both LOW end and HIGH end but not the MIDDLE area which is the most important thing in guitar tones. Overall I think the guitar tone is ok. A bit dry but that's a good thing IMO. Something different for a change.

 

[lelahel]

here is the entire song (without lead guitar not reamped yet)
i added a little more mids to the guitars to have the full sound

this is not modern metal = don't have to sound like modern metal

need your advices !

@CLARK KENT : why you said that drums and vox have to be re-recorded?

 

[lelahel]

advices needed

 

[Clark Kent]

They don't NEED to be re-recorded. Jokes don't come across well through text. Personally I'm not a fan of that type of vocals but that's just my taste issue... not your problem. Drums are a lot better now but there are some mistakes.

 

[lelahel]

yes there are some mistakes in the drums , i'll correct them
thanks for your advices

 

[lelahel]

i identified the problem
it is coming from the output DI track
the sound have an attenuated gain, i compared it with the direct guitar plugged in the amp!
(i have a motu mk2usb i'll continue the topic in equipement section)
thanks
