god i love my AxeFX 2, got inspired and threw this clip together this morning, feel free to critique the mix/tones anything!

drums are Addictive Drums, bass is the "pop bass" from the main Kontakt 4 library and its all on a 6 string guitar

hope you enjoy!

 

[Santuzzo]

AWESOME, man! Love it!
Everything is great, sound, playing, the writing...you sir are a genius!!!

I like your drum sound a lot, which AD kit did you use for this? and did you do the drum processing in AD or in your DAW?

 

[prh]

thanks man! just did it all within AD, other than some extra compression on the entire drum track afterwards. its just the default kick that loads when you load the plugin haha, and then i took out some "room" and a little bit of the low frequencies so it was less boomy. glad you like it

Thanks!
do you remember by any chance which snare you used? was it also the default snare?

EDIT: btw, the solo is so damn tasty!

The rhythm is pretty high compared to bass and drums, but other than that the mix is nice. I personally would back up some mids from the guitars, they sound too saturated to my taste.

The riffs... well I'm not going to that... other than you once again crushed my ego... thanks a lot...

 

[KingAenarion]

Really sweet writing as per usual...



Join my band?

Lachlan has already asked you enough time to play with us...








As to the mix, I agree with Kurk, and he said pretty much what I thought. Little too much mids saturation... I LOVE my mids but they feel just a little bit too high.

 

[Ruins]

sounds awesome as always. got nothing to complain about just that i need more

 

[C2Aye]

Aw dude, those tones. Good to hear you posting more clips regularly as well!

Agree with Joel that the rhythm guitars are a tad loud and are a bit heavy on low mids to my ear, but other than that, you roolz

 

[JamesM]

I knew you'd slay with an Axe-FX II...

 

[ddtonfire]

Your music always inspires me to make more of my own. Awesome job!

Definitely man... they're as hard to find as good and interesting lead guitarists. I'd do it, but I'm probably not the voice you're looking for

I'm looking forward to the new album
