Hey all,
Thanks in advance for any help here. Been doing home recording for awhile now and I’ve got a track that I’m working on that I just can’t get to sound the way I hear it in my head.
The music is hard rock/Metal (think like Black album era Metallica mixed with a more complex Breaking Benjamin) and the vibe I’m trying to go for with this track is to have it sound like you are listening to a great band playing in a completely empty medium sized club. I want it to be powerful, but also dark, lonely, and with space. Like, have you ever seen a great band play a show to no one? That’s the essence of the vibe I’m trying to create.
Just looking for general tips on how you would approach going for that type of sound....anything that you think would be useful from what types of drums or room you would track in...to how you’d approach compressing elements...types of reverbs, etc...
