I would definitely add some distortion and parallel compression to the drums. Maybe compress the rooms more..they just lack that energy the song needs.
I am not sure how you tracked the guitars, but I would have tracked more of them. They sound a little thin to me.
one thing I like in guitars...
Thanks guys, I actually used BFD for the drums. I spent a shitload of time on learning how to program drums so they sound like a real drummer. It's the ludwig brass snare and the DW kick. Ludwig snres rule!
I like that new master Eck..you basically added some nice EQ there, and I did not EQ it...
you are correct sir.
I had 2 takes of his vocal. The double underneath just got heavier, verb and compression. I also automated when the dostortion send would come on and off (off until middle of verse 1 for example) I Eqd just a little around 1.5 k for a boost and compressed pretty hard with a...
Cool..post a song and get it remastered. :) What did you do to it? I boosted the volume and ran it into Glip..raised that by 2db and then went into the L2 and took off a db. I think it's at around -9db...did you add some more highs?
I actually know the Trvium guitar chain.
Not a lot of gain at all. In fact, you would want to put a TS808 in front of the amp, bass around 4 mids around 5-6 treble at 6-7 and presence boosted. This works well on a dual rectifier amp.
The pre they used, if I remember (last album was tracked...
Well, last song I posted here was cool because I got a singer here to jump on it, and it was a really nice job by him.
This one is my old singer that tragically died in a car wreck in 2005. He was previously signed to Atlantic and we worked together on writing songs for a record.
So I am...
Thanks True..appreciate it.
And the way I get songs loud without squishing them to death is this :
I mix down the 2 track..maybe take 4db off at most with the buss compressor. The mix peaks near 0.
Then I open a new project and make a group channel with a limiter on it on it.
I take the...
Wow thanks guys, I am really sorry that I have not been on, but I have been at a music conference and am running on 4 hours of sleep! It's nice to login and see a song cranked out! Very cool stuff man...and in Freuds defense, he was mixing into a 2 track i sent him of the song that was already...
hehe.. :D well I meant it a little differently of course. I like to let the singer write their own words because lyrics affect the melodies a lot. I played all the instruments and wrote and arranged all the parts...isn't that enough dammit? :D
Was also wondering also about the guitars. I like the drum sound, but the cymbals were tough..they either disappeared or got a little harsh..they may clash with the distorted guitars a little.
I put a couple instrumentals up on Myspace. The first (White Noise)is available for download...feel free to check it out and download if u want.
Intro, Verse, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Breakdown, Chorus out is the arrangement.
I pulled it for now. I think I'll repost it as just the instrumental. It will make more sense that way, and maybe I can a singer to nail it with a big chorus.
yeah, I can see what you are saying. It is actually on key, but I flipped it from emphasizing Emin like the original Chorus to Gmajor. The verse goes back to Emin, so that's probably why you like it more. I just wanted to really push how far I could flip the song.
I put up a remix of a Rap Single, but it's a different interpretation then maybe you'd expect.
See what you think:
myspace.com/methlab first song on there.
