I fully expected to read the first draft of a novel or something after that. Would love to hear it mixed better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Voltaire Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 oh, couldn't hear the guitar in the original at all. the second one, remixed is a lot better. a LOT better! vocals are too high for my tastes, but for someone else i'm sure they're perfect! everything else is top notch! maybe a bit more uppp on ze guitars.. just a bit. did you double track? if so i can't tell.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 much better. I like the guitar tone, maybe add little more low end on the single notes but overall it sounds good. The VK is a fine amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scarlet_Worm Posted March 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 thanks guys Voltaire, it was double tracked, one take (mostly rhythm) L/R SM58 and Perception and one take (mostly harmonies and rhythm) R/L Sm 58 and Perception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VK is a fine amp.yeah, I don't get alot of the hate for the amp from the cork sniffers around here... I like the tone better than my old ultra + yeah, I think I may have engaged the bass roll off on the perception for the guitars, maybe the reason for lack of low end in the single notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Voltaire Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 thanks guys Voltaire, it was double tracked, one take (mostly rhythm) L/R SM58 and Perception and one take (mostly harmonies and rhythm) R/L Sm 58 and Perception are the different rhythm tracks 100% left and right?i don't know, it sounds like it would fit perfect with some metal bands that i know of.. but it's just not thickk enough for mee. (names escape me right now, i think it's got something like "Gore" in the title with two different singers with extremely flemmy gargly vocals)but that's only a personal preference.

I could gig/record with one any day, regardless of price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scarlet_Worm Posted March 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 48% R and 37%L I find randomizing the L/R percentages makes for a bigger sounding recording... but the rhythm track is the same only with different mics... if I did a true double track it would probably sound bigger, but this was just to test out my new mic... when my band gets rolling on our pre-production stuff I'll really start taking teh multi-tracking seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 btw you should try a 12AT7 in the PI of your VK, they benefit so much from it, the tone gets a little darker, tighter and more fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
