Newbie heavy-clip (x3, Superior, m7)

[xfilth]

It's pretty short so far, but it's the first time I'm doing this kind of stuff (normally, the heaviest I get is prog-metal ), so it's great fun!

Comments/advice on production would be greatly appreciated!
Would love to get some better tones out of my pod

Thanks man! Love my Carvin for stuff like this. I was gonna use my Universe with EMGs in one of the channels, but I just liked the sound of Carvin much more

 

[xfilth]

Updated the mix, changed some things in the drums and rerecorded some parts

 

[xfilth]

Updated again. Would really love some advice on how to improve the mix

EDIT: Gonna add some ambience to the clean part tomorrow and hopefully write another section

This doesn't seem a "newbie" song, it's really good actually!
You've been playing the guitar for 7 years, you can't consider yourself a "newbie", especially if your songs are that good! \m/

Damn, I love this forum: lots of good guitarists here.
Can't find such good and modern guitarists in Rome, Italy

The newbie thing was more referring to this kind of mix and music than my guitar-playing

Thanks a lot I'm sure you'll find someone in Rome - it's a big city

I've recorded stuff, but never went into the realms of djent or any other heavier metal-genres

Thanks a lot!

Drums sound fucking great, definitely need to work on your guitar tones. Have you ever tried using cab impulses in your DAW instead of the Cabs on the POD? I find that helps alot as the cabs on the POD are less than desirable IMO.

Thanks! I should definitely try some impulses. I hear the catharsis ones are good? I have them on my computer somewhere

Try some RedWirez free, and some Recabinet impulses, theyre cheaper now and I think worth to buy.
I like the way drums sound in your mix, if I didn't know it's Superior Drummer I would think theyre a real drums recorded

maybe this would help a little bit http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=62458

Ive seen some more impulses on different forums, I will post links if I find some.

what monitors do you have? and how did you get drums to sound that good?

Thanks - I'll definitely try them out!

I use Yamaha HS50M monitors, but I don't have a sub so mixing the bass is kinda tricky. I used one of Thordendal's preset in MF, switched out some different drums and played around with parallel compression

'nother small groove that doesn't deserve its own topic. Hoping to continue Anatomy of a Lie later today.

I like how you use that tremolo picking to carry it on along with the riffs. Great work!

 

[Kurkkuviipale]
