Members Damokles Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hey Just wanted to ask for some short opinions on my tone on this Clip. It's done with a Gibson les Paul studio into a Pod XT into my crappy on board soundcard. nothing else. Think this is the best clip i've recorded so far tone wise, especially since i suck badly in finding good tone and recording. Skipped any effects except reverb since i suck in using them. Any comment on how to further improve is apprechiated! www.bahnhofsquatsch.online.de/e.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JT1 Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 Too fast. Your rushing through it and because of that your phrasing and inflections are off. Slow down a bit , feel it more and you can nail it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evh1984 Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 The thing about "Eruption" is it was never meant to be a precise anything. EVH has himself stated that it was just a warm-up exercise. I have never heard him play it the same way twice. As a matter of fact if you've seen VH in concert or watched their DVD's you'd notice Edward is constantly adding to or taking away from the solo. So, just get the basics down on it and feel free to shred away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Suspicious Mail Posted June 1, 2006 Members Share Posted June 1, 2006 TONE comments, folks...That sounds pretty nice. Pod clips always make me think, "I can't believe it's direct!"Sounds to me like maybe you should back off the trim -- thought I heard just a touch of clipping in there -- and maybe roll off the gain just a hair. Also, it's a little bit bright for my taste, but not by a lot.Those are pretty much fine- tuning adjustments, though. Overall it's getting there quite nicely. -- edit re: brightness. It's easier to roll off some treble during mixing than it is to add it back in. Erring on the side of caution when you lay the track down is never a bad thing.

I'll check on rolling back the treble a bit, guess you're right...And yeah it is clipping, but that's my soundcard and theres no way i can get around it. I can either push the signal into clipping while playing or it is too silent to hear it and i have to amplify it later on to the point where it sounds crappy. Finding tone is so different with the pod since it sounds completely different through the headphones than later on after recording. Anybody can help me with a recommendation for a good soundcard?
