Your ears are doing okay for fried. If this were mine I'd be done with it. Except maybe for one thing: I'd have the drums up a bit. I know it's a guitar piece (and hey, I'm even a guitarist) but when the bass and the guitars coming on full, the drums get a bit lost. \

The more I listen to it though, the more I gotta say it's very close--might just be my taste.

Love the guitar split at 1:30.
 
whitestrat-
thanks for listening...

i just uploaded a brand new mix (sunday afternoon @ 4pm mst), with less room mic on the kit, more snare, a new bass track, a cleaner submix....
see if this one's better....
 
Sounds good to me. The guitar tones and playing are smoking. I think you did an excellent job of keeping it musical despite the piece being solo guitar driven. So many artist fail at this. What kind of amp/guitar setup are you running?
 
Sound real good to me. Some of the parts remind me of Dream Theater style playing. I think maybe the guitars could come down a tad to let the drums and bass be a bit more pronounced.

What did you use for drums on this?

thanks for listening!

the guitar rig- '81 boogie markIIb, into a Weber Mass Lite 100w attenuator, thru a palmer PDI-09 DI, back into a roland 1x12 closed back cab with celestion greenback--- with a xlr output from the palmer to the recording rig.



recording rig-
palmer xlr out goes to the A Designs Audio MP-1 tube mic pre, out of that into the little DBX MC-6 compressor, out of that into the ART DPS convertor section (only), and on to the MAudio Delta Audiophile 2496 card, into sonar.

glad you dig it. DT is definitely something i've listened to thru the years, tho i've never bothered trying to learn any of their tunes...
i've been listening to a lot of TOOL lately, and it seems to have influenced my mix decisions (rather loud guitars, compared to everything else)
as it is, i turned the overall levels of everything but the drums, down, at least 4 times as i started mixing!
LOL


The drums are Toontracks EZDrummer.

-since these are midi drums, i generally chart out a fairly straight forward program, and as i start tracking guitars and bass, i'll edit the midi loops to add snare fills or cymbal strikes or double kicks, stuff like that.
 
TAX DAY SPECIAL!!!
-- brand new mix, with hotter drums, more dialed in.

quick mix change synopsis:
hotter snare, both upper and lower heads. applied multiband compressor to entire kit. brought overhead mics in from extreme far left and right to closer to 90 degrees from center (3:00 and 9:00). brought kick down a tad.

dialed back lead guitar volumes, pumped up the rhythms slightly.

added high end at 2.2khz to solo guitar. added 200 hz on solo guitar.

dip at 215hz on bass guitar. rolloff at 40 hz.


i'm happiest with this mix so far...
great suggestions from everybody.
 
thanks APL...

yes, it is a carvin Koa dc200.


and no, i don't know who ez willis is....

Fuck man, sounds really really good. No nits from me. Has a big 80's guitar-jam kind of feel to it. Guitars sound incredible. Very good! :)
 
Another monster guitar suite. Very slick. The whole distortion & delay (?) combo on the guitar gives it that 80's kind of sound I think. Is that your squire strat in the picture?

I really like the slow-down around 1:19 and the new guitar part that comes in around 1:30...nice transition. Very professional sounding recording and performance. :)
 
I shared a link with ez_willis and told him you said the song wasn't about him and he said...

He's lying and doesn't have the balls to come here and say it to my face. :p

This has SWAGGER!
Cool recording - I assume I'm at the remix as the drums seems to be at home.
Nice chime to the lead.
Some parts had me definitely thinking of Brian May with a different set up.

thanks man..... i appreciate that....
guitars are all done with the boogie into the weber mass lite, and into the palmer junction, and THAT's what's going to the recorder.
no mics.

RayC-
swagger-
yep, that's what i was going for.
kinda laid back, and not, at the same time!
;)
drums are definitely getting tighter the more i mix it.
i just gotta learn it, that's all....
brian may was a huge influence, so it doesn't suprise me you hear something in there...
thanks for listening!
