Well, it's my first post. Hopefully one of many. I've been browsing these forums for awhile and appreciate all the time and effort the users here give to those seeking help...so I thought I'd post a question of my own.
There's a particular sound I'm looking to get in my mixes. I would say it most closely resembles a blend of 30 Secs to Mars/Bush. Neither are my favorite group, but the rich guitar sounds are what I'm looking for. If you want more specific examples, then "From Yesterday" and "Sound of Winter" would do.
The more detail provided, the better. For example, in addition to EQ practices and specific compression settings, I would be interested to hear thoughts of panning hard right and left via doubling the track and slightly modifying the EQ on each (these songs have such width to them; really surrounds the listener).
Gear: Studio One Pro, Ampire amp simulator. Guitar plugged directly into a PreSonus interface. EZDrummer 2.
I understand these bands are using high-end equipment, but let's pretend they were trying to reproduce their sound using the equipment I had. What would they do? - beside give up and go to a pro studio
If you are familiar w/ Ampire, please suggest specific combos (American Drive through a British 4x12, or whatnot) and mic distances.
Please let me know if I forgot any vital information or if I can clear anything up. I'm looking forward to hearing suggestions. thanks!
