and The Brain...


Came out pretty good. Guitars are a little dense, could use some feedback/tips on thinning the lead a little. Lead/rhythm kinda bleed together despite plenty of stereo separation.
 
Fun tune....

I do hear what you mean about the guitars seeming to fight for space. Maybe clean teh lead up a little...take away some of the distortion? Maybe eq some of the highs out of both...the very top. That seems to have built up a bit more then the rest of the sounds.

I don't know...it's fun, and could use some tweaks, but I enjoyed the listen...

Thanks for the feedback (as always :) )

Would you believe I've already done that, twice! lol

Maybe three times the charm... :cool:

It's definitely not bad at all man...cleaner than most things I do....:D
 
Pretty cool. The lead sounds a little buzzy, but the rhythms sound good. I had that same problem recently. Just keep trimming the highs off that lead and see where it goes. :)

The problem is that the lead was recorded with a lot of fuzz and only during post production did I realize how saturated it was. Too late to go back unless I retrack.

Unfortunately trimming the highs on the lead isn't getting me anywhere but muffled. It looks like this is the best it's going to sound.

Try scooping out a little more mids as you cut the highs. By doing this, I find that sometimes I can maintain the "edge" of the track without thrashing peoples eardrums. :o

That's exactly what you're hearing now :(.

I almost chalked the take and was going to have lew retrack it, but it was so well performed I didn't want to make him re-record just because I couldn't get the production acceptible. I guess I was hoping for maybe a plugin suggestion (like the smooth/enhance feature in Sonar) or a compression trick.

I will admit that I wasn't overly aggressive at trying to gate the highest frequencies. Maybe I should try a little gating and see if there's a definite culprit frequency. What I was finding was that the distortion was covering a wide range. It's a vintage RAT distortion pedal that works good only when set to LOW. lol

Lol. Yeah I have a rat. That thing gets raunchy fast.
