Thanks for the inputs! The reason I'm brushing up on mixing is that we're recording a "bare bones"-demo with a rockish blackmetalband me and a drummerfriend are assembling. (http://serif.pp.fi/hatut/DEMON/4.mp3 ..demo guitar and recorded drums, http://serif.pp.fi/hatut/DEMON/2%20mix.mp3...

Yeah sorry about the drums.. I only know bad drummers, and my programming skills plain suck, so I try to hide them in volume.:o:D Good to hear the compression wasn't too harsh, I'm kinda just learning about that stuff.

Ya, stayed home last night all sober and shit... So I recorded something out of my hat, just to keep a hang of it.. http://serif.pp.fi/musaa/Killtime.mp3 Compressed it to the fricken maximum this morning:D.. Too much??

Our rehealsalplace is so crammed we have to stand up.:o

Thanks for the replies guys!.. Yeah, today we continued recording, I turned the distortion a quarter down, It comes clearer. Started from scratch anyway since we had to move the overheads to catch more toms on drums. ..after the drums are done, with directing guitar, the bassist comes in, a...

For the love of.... I'm getting old here...:o here:.. http://serif.pp.fi/hatut/TESTI.mp3 That sound I miced just to play directions for the drummer.. I'm going back for more tracks, advices at this point would be great. We're doing a "demo" to friends and local bars for some gigs, maybe...

Hello. Caution. metal, distortion.:eek: I recorded a "test" with a friend in drums and me with a miced tube amp, the drums were miced with 3 mics so they aren't that good. But what do you think of the guitarsound?? Too much lows, too much highs??? I got a feeling there's too much...

While looking for a sound, I tried a Zoom tri-metal through a 30-watt tube head. VERY HEAVY sounds available, especially "Death metal"-type of low end rumble with a screeching top. ..I'm more into a heavy rock/blackmetaaalll- type of sound, with pronounced dynamics and chiming higher strings...

I've done a lot of recordings... Sometimes received a compliment from sound even, DI:D, but this time I'm micing my amp the FIRST time. And frankly, not getting it quite. Not much difference in a miced speaker after all tube amp, than DI:d... More mids, no shrill, less gain perhaps, quite a...

That makes the playing of the tracks identical. Can't really say... probably a good thing, if they are panned to same side... Personally I pan 2 tracks left and right, played separatly, just to get some band "feel"... ofcourse they could be playing different lines too....

Not going to list EVERYTHING I got but, now at use: bass: Schecter Scorpion bass, a modded Fernandez as a backup Ashdown EVO ll 500 head, custom made cabs. (1x18+2x10) A Sansamp programmable for DI. guitar: Gibson LP baritone, a Dean as a backup. (gonna get me Fender baritone special for...

Hiall! I find this weird. It's a part of my tone struggles with a Sovtek mig-30 head.:rolleyes: I found that my Koch pedaltone works well as a tube preamp/overdrive before my head. It sounds good, separates well in the mix and I like the feel, no excessive noise or feedback, got the...

I have successfully ventured to guitar playing and recording at times, the guitarists tend to look at ME while adjusting their sounds.:D ..the drummer, looks at the singer/guitarist while tuning the drums!:D

I've gone through LOTS of bass fuzzes/overdrives/distortions. Overdrives are ALL the same, slight crunch, after that you loose bottom end. Everything with a tube is pretty useless. Distortions are pretty much the same, maybe excluding Zoom Tri-metal. Fuzzes come in a million flavors, they tend...

It would seem the best thing to experiment? ..before amp, before in-front effects, after preamp, after preamp and effects.. should work somewhere?:D

The last replies made total sense... Yeah, the Sovtek wasn't made a high-gain amp, so I'll just take the fuzz from somewhere else. And truely enough, if I turn down the amp while distorted, it sounds awfully fizzy and lifeless. The sound regains the thickness and body when the amp is cranked...

Hmm... the plot thickens.... Tried it today, with an overdrive--> sounded pretty ok.. Then clean, well its clipping, but didn't sound as bad as before.:) Is there a period where tubes are "broke in"??.. -the cab was used, could be something there, but it DID sound better today.. Then, for...

Why not?... If other effects are cool in the loop why shouldn't noise suppression be?.. I'd put it in last, after everything causing noise.

Thanks, but the problem isn't that it doesn't overdrive or distort, it does.. (To Steve.H... yes it is tube distorting.) The problem is as I said, that the distortion sounds more "crackly", not of smooth overdrive of any kind.:( I am using currently a V-twin tube preamp trying to smooth it out...

Yep, you're probably right on the fact it wasn't designed to distort.:o I should probably bias the thing so it remains clean on higher volumes?? ..then throw a pedal for driven things.
