Hi All,
I appreciate the great feedback I have received from everyone on my track Signs of Life, and I'm working over this mix again. Step one, I borrowed a 1997 Les Paul Classic from a friend, and I'm starting to retrack the guitars. The only problem is, I think my ears are broken
I've been sitting here for a couple of hours now with Pod Farm (I know I should be micing a real amp/cab, but this is all that I have to work with right now!), going through presets, tweaking things, less treble, more mids, less gain, more gain, etc, etc, etc, until everything is starting to sound the same and I'm about to lose it. So, I decided to make a few quick mixes of the LP through a range of some of the basic amps in Pod Farm to see if any of them sound good to me later with a fresh set of ears on. And then I thought, hey, this might be fun for the good people at homerecording.com to give a listen and weigh in.
So....if you have the time, and you are so inclined, give a listen to these short snippets from Signs of Life that I tracked with a few different modeled amps. The original track is in there too with the strat in all its bumblebee sounding glory There are no tricks here, I promise, and I have a favorite right now, but I am doubting myself so much at this point that I'm wondering seriously if they all just don't suck horribly.
So, let me know what you think...I'll post the names of the models in a few days for those that are interested.
Thanks in advance!
Dave
P.S. Step two will be to mix in Jason Jones's live drums once I get the individual drum tracks from him, and then we'll see about step three
Here is the original track in it's entirety if you care to listen to the whole thing: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8843633
