Members DeadNight Warrior Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Yeah, it's a bit rubbish. CLIP Essentially I hadn't written anything for ages, so when I realised this I just made myself work on something small to get started again. It's not even really mixed at this point, but I figure I might as well just put it up now before I get lazy and never finish it. Drums need finishing too. At the moment there's a lot of straight up cut 'n' paste going on. Tones were also very quickly whipped up. Maybe 5 minutes tweaking on the guitar sound. Everything is Axe-FX, including the bass (which is currently mixed poorly ). Guitars are all a cranked to {censored} (from memory) JCM800 through cabs that I can't recall. Only part that's not that JCM800 patch is the solo-ish bit right near the end, which is a Cornford patch. All the clean-ish bits are just the JCM800, same settings, just the guitar's vol pot rolled back. Bass was the SVT and a 5150 running parallel. The bass sound also changes half way through it, coz I forgot to save the patch before I turned off the Axe after the first bass session. You probably won't hear it anyway coz the whole thing's mixed so poorly. No FX from the Axe; all the reverb and delay stuff was done in Cubase. Guitars were mostly the RG2127X. The middle clean-ish part was done with the Strat. And again... it was very quick, it's not mixed properly, and as it was done quickly, I had little regard for tuning the instruments. It's also just a few ideas I quickly came up with, so those ideas really aren't at all developed. I had to stop myself from trying to draw the ideas out, or it'd end up like everything else I spend months working on. Did I mention it's {censored}?

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Oh, and that solo I mentioned. Yeah, it's {censored} too. Improv'd, and as I've been out of bands and recording for so long, evidently I've lost my sense of timing. The whole thing was pretty much improv'd really, which explains a lot. The odd rhythm at the start, I still don't actually know how to play it. I left the drum map open on my 2nd monitor and just watched the cursor move across the kick drums. Whenever there was a kick, I'd play. The bit right after it was harder, coz I had to watch my hands and the monitor at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spizzledude Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Dude that was really good!

Members Holy War Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 sounds good to me. Maybe a bit of fuzz, but good playing a good tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: Allow me to point out that you could have done all that on the Standard and had money left over for three hookers and some blow! Thanks man. And what I forgot to mention is that I run a multiband compressor on the side in every patch I use. It's not actually connected to anything, and thus has no effect on the sound, but it does instantly make me about 56% cooler than you Standard wimps.

Maybe a bit of fuzz, but good playing a good tones.Yeah, the JCM800 is just cranked to {censored} at the master. I went for something pretty different to what I would normally play with, and it's kinda what started the ideas off so I stuck with it. When you crank it that hard though, it does get a bit of a fuzzy character to it. I sorta like it, but certainly not for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members meelosh123 Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Cool song I could imagine hearing that in the intro or credits of an action movie or first-person shooter. But...what's with all the self-deprecation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeadNight Warrior Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Cool song I could imagine hearing that in the intro or credits of an action movie or first-person shooter. But...what's with all the self-deprecation? Thanks. I'm sorta inclined to take it and turn it into a proper track, with the ideas fleshed out properly. A lot of missed opportunities in there, just for the sake of getting something actually finished. Depends how lazy I am I suppose. As for the question... it's pretty {censored}. I'm the kinda person who'll sit there and do take after take to nail everything perfectly, spend hours on the drums making them exactly how I want them, etc. If I improv a solo and one note is slightly early, I'll go learn what I played so I can nail it properly. This clip on the other hand, is quite the opposite of that... and it all really {censored}s me when I listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Bump. Oh, and the only post-EQ on any of the guitar stuff was (I think) a 2dB or so drop at 800Hz on the rhythm guitars near the start, where the octave doubled lead(ish) thing comes in.

Members newholland Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 not sure where the suck is. i kept looking, but all i found was competently recorded and pretty interesting rock riffage.

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted September 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 sounds cool, i like the song... though i never got my jcm800 to sound like that :poke:Thanks. And yeah, the JCM800 was set to some pretty extreme and somewhat unlikely settings. I wasn't going for a classic JCM800 sound as such, it was just the amp I happened to be playing around with. The cabs also play a big part in the sound. In this case it was a V30 4x12 and some 2x12 cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
