Dorthal jazz/metal track (Mayones Regius 7 & Patriot 5, Darkglass B7K/Axe-FX II))

[Eldogond]

Hi there !

I'm working on my upcoming full length, and here is a short teaser/mix test or whatever it is

Dorthal - Arid Landscape (Album) - Grove finally grown through the emptiness of this place by Dorthal on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Bass is Mayones Patriot 5 + Darkglass B7K, guitars are Mayones Regius 7.
Axe-FX II all the way + Darkglass B7K for the bass.
Drums are DFH and SD2.0 (only for the snare and toms).

I'm still mixing this, there are a lot of guitar parts, and it's hard to get a clear sound of everything in the mix.

Bump ! No one to comment ?

Sounds awesome dude, I want a full length of that! Mixwise I can't tell you much because I don't know much and Am listening on the speaker on my iPhone right now but great stuff dude!

 

[Eldogond]

Thanks a lot man ! The full length will be here laaaate this year, or early 2013

Guitar sounds awesome, if I were you I'll work on the mix, you could make this song sounds even better with a good mix, sometimes there's a lack of volume on some instrument. BTW great work!

The first few notes that the bass comes in on sound totally out of tune. The clean guitars could use quite a bit more compression and the drums could come up in volume quite a bit. Cool idea though.

I agree about the mix, but I don't get the out of tune part. It's harmonized, but well tuned, yes it doesn't follow the root

Can you explain what you mean ?

that was dope! i look forward to hearing more of this badassery!

With reference to the bass, I think Enselmis was saying that some of the notes don't "work" with the particular chord, not that the bass was actually out of tune. But you are making jazz music, so I guess not every note is going to "work".

Sounds just great to me, dude... Of course, I listen to a lot of modern art music... soooo....

 

[Eldogond]

Yeah, it must be that I think C3Aye

Thanks guys !

Sort of. I guess I just have different ideas about the role of the bass. I just assumed it was out of tune because even if you're subscribing to some slightly more exotic ideas of harmony those particular notes don't really work. It creates quite a bit of tension which would have made sense had you recycled that idea later on in the tune, however in this case it just sounds as though you muffed the first couple notes.

Just clearing that up. :]
