hey everyone,
I actually received quite a bit of mssgs from the last experience posting here, most of them extremely helpful. Here's an old track that I spent a week or so on after adding Lepou Lecto (mesa boogie amp sim) and Recabinet 4 ("Oversize"- mesa boogie cab sim). Upgrading my amp and cab setup was the most common recommendation, so I gave it a try though I didn't retrack this older tune, I just threw the sims on it and messed with the dials and EQ for quite a while. Also, a helpful member advised that I widen the drums a bit, so I moved toms further out and hopefully it makes them sound a bit bigger. hmm, what else...the bass is compressed pretty hard, around 6.1:1 and is constantly taking around 2db's off, but hopefully it's even, full, and engaging. I made room at 50hz for the kick and reduced the bass a db or 2 there as well. Guitars are HP at 100 on the 12db slope, so hopefully the low end is all kick and bass, nice and clear. Please let me know if it's not on your system.
thanks to anyone who listens/comments, and for the help from many members the last time. The next track I post will be much better than this since I'm incorporating some tracking tips - this one was recorded about 6 months ago, but instruments mixed over this week again.
