After a long hiatus, I've gotten another one down. Boy, mixing this took forever with all the layers. But the result was well worth it in the end :) Some juicy Blackstar Ht-5 overdriven toanz in there. Gear was Schecter C7 Blackjack into EHX Soul Preacher into Blackstar HT-5 And who says Metal...
Thanks fellas! I was quite impressed with the POD tone for the youtube video, it nearly held its own against the recorded blackstar on the original track. @zealous: yes, it's very loud and should suit a small jam. However, for larger sets/gigs, using a 4x12 cab is recommended for pushing more...
Got around to doing a video of it. Hope you guys like it :) <object height="344" width="425"><object height="344" width="425"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q93UB0Qa5GY&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344"...
Hilarious! Pics plz :P Thanks Triple7, Zami, IconW and addictus! Yeah, two things I've learnt - kick can be a bit fatter, and cymbals should be lower. Ah well, that elusive 'perfect' mix ! @IconW - There's some pretty crazy stuff on the soundclick, have a look to see if any of the songs fall...
That was a tongue twister Let's get to bizness SoundClick artist: Melakartha - Melakartha is the sideproject of Multi-Instrumentalist Sridharan Ravichandran Song's called Infidel. I'm quite satisfied with the mix. Feedback will be awesome Schecter C7 Blackjack --> Blackstar HT-5 , no pedals.
Thanks Fred, Metal foundry went a long way in making this mix sound more 'alive' - superior has this super precise feel to it and didnt' suit the song.
^^ You're right, thanks dude. Cleans were indeed the hardest part, but after a dozen tries I managed to get the right feel haha. Bump for more feedback :)
The guitar tones are a bit dry, they feel scratchy - also, some more punch on the kick will be nice - 100 Hz anyone? The guitars can be tracked better too. Brighten up the drums? I've never mixed brutal vocals before so I have nothing to add there. But overall, sounds pretty neat on my...
Cheers! I love the band too, and they completely blew me away live. How do you like the mix? I went for a less hi-fi sounding mix since the original has a pretty 'live' feel to it too.
Thanks guys! Synths were the trickiest part, but they certainly did the song a world of good. On hindsight, I wish I had EQ'd the guitars better - I overdid the vintage thing :S
