nwobhm, acoustic vs distorted...to be..

[Jouni]

Same shit as my usual stuff.

Only this time I'm playing a farewell with/to an acoustic-guitar i had borrowed on top and under of distorted chugging.

realised I'can't pick an acoustic faster than 170bpm, so this is a slower one

NOTHING but the guitars here, yet no drums or bass, or soloing.

I just wanna some comments on sound/levels of these before I start beging someone to drum this, or solo, or bass.

how are they?


PRELIMINARY mix, there's some clipping audible, bear with me...

how low did you tune the low E? it's rattleing like crazy, which is quite annoing.
good playing tho. could use a better bridge between the accustic to dist. the dist. guitar sounds awsome, and when the accustic comes in it sounds plain orgasmic.

so in short
start: ok...
middle: good
end: Amazing!

Acoustic guitars sounded good except for the annoying rattling sound. I think the electric guitar sounded okay as far as "sound" goes, but I thought what you were playing was pretty boring to be honest.

Sounded better when the acoustic guitars came back in at the end.

I guess I'm just not crazy about the direction you went with that song because the acoustic guitars sound real nice but I'm just not crazy about the electric guitar part for that song.

Having serious problems mixing it, always the clipping sound, vanished when added drumtrack though...?.. guess 4 tracks playing the same is too much..

The dude that was to drum this turned himself to an alcohol-clinic.
so, its beatcraft once again.

Thanks for the comments!
The acoustic is a cheapskate Fender, and just rattles when in E.
I*ve borrowed it so can't complain.

..the direction I took, is sadly, what I play.

Some additional interest will be added by the bassline and possible solos at the electric part. ...I'll be back with those.

Link updated to drummed version!!

Jouni....I listened and I like how you have started easy with the acoustic, jumping in with the heavy stuff on electric, then merged the two as one. Very interesting. Kinda like 'Classical Gas' on Metal.

Yah, the string buzz is distracting...too bad you couldn't use another acoustic for the part.

I realy like the intro and the place you chose to bring in the drums is excellent sounding.

Build up is good(too short though) and the axe coming in at 1:07 is good.

I think the machine gun axe will sound better with the addition of real drums and bass. Also I would have liked it better if the intro with the classical had been a bit longer with more of a build up to the electric.

Once again, I really like how you took the beginning to middle to end and did so quite smoothly. The way you jump right back in with the acoustic at 2:41 and interweave it with the electric is a cool marriage of tones and style.

As far as volumes go...The intro and classical volumes sound good....the 2nd electric with the machine gun one could come up a db in volume I think....the electric/acoustic blend sounds excellent in volume content. I wouldn't change those settings. Of course the drums need to come up...but I am waiting for some real ones.

Am looking forward to hearing the lead, bass and some real drums.

True

preliminary leads added, start and finish, needs one still to the middle, but I'm no lead-guitarist.

Too hung-over to thump the bass today..

Negotiating with drummers.
