Members thefyn Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Les PaulMaxon OD9JCM800 Celestion g12t-75 http://soundcloud.com/tock-1/putdown Drums need a bit of work, and the low vocals are going to be ran through a vocoder but you get the idea. The intro riff is tricky to capture. It's muted pull offs so it can sound a bit muddy with everything going. Can you hear what is going on? Or should I overdub a clearer take?

Members Nick H Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 Sounds slightly mudy, but its not too bad. Also I would bring the vocals slightly up in the mix and the drums slightly down. Really cool song tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the ryth the same vol all the way though which does not make sense when you have vocals etc going. The EMG81 is bright and tight as fek (to a fault) so it may work here.

Members Neilrocks25 Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 The mix needs opening up a little as there seams to be a lot going on in a small space (if that makes sense).But the tones are good, and the end is fantastic. Just give the instruments more room to breath and I think you are there. Reminds me of some 90's industrial bands mixed with Devin Townsend.

Members gt_jumper Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 sounds decent man, I like that amp. Heres a clip i recorded ages ago for a band with the jcm800 and a gibson SG (satin black in colour with a maple board). https://www.facebook.com/meanwhileinhell/app_178091127385 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deconstruction Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 Drums seem a little too loud in the mix. Cool song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alan Roberts Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 I like it but I don't think the recording really is a good representation of the tones you were probably getting in the room. What are you using for mics? What are you recording to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdrianPOA Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 I listened to that sample of "Here Too Soon" and that "Rio2" song dude. {censored} sounds pretty cool.

Members thefyn Posted July 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 Drums seem a little too loud in the mix. Cool song though. Thanks. I think lowering them will help the clarity on the guits and vocals, but I have a feeling the compression I am using is spiking the drums too much. I'll mess with it this weekend.

What are you using for mics? What are you recording to? I have the cab in a sound proof iso vocal booth. It's mic'd with an SM57 via canare cable into a Focusrite safire 14.

Members Deltones Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Fyn, what a setup for recording your amp! Judging from the lettering on the booth's windows, this is not something you built yourself right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marshallnoise Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 Very cool. Seems to me that less gain would be the way to go. Keep the boost, but lessen the gain. And then push it up in the mix. But, I don't know what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members codecontra Posted July 21, 2012 Members Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think it sounds friggin amazing, the whole thing. Great job man, better than 90% of the rock songs on the radio right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
