Been a long time since I recorded something. Don't mind the riff
Hoping for help on the kick.
Guitars are quadtracked HD500 patch with RedWirez impulses...

I really need help on snare reverb as well lol!

Thanks,

Not too bad, you just need to work on the drums a little bit. They seem quite thin. What amp are you using on the HD500? I use the HD500 as well and I am digging that tone

 

[KoenDercksen]

Yeah I know... Drums have always been my biggest problem.

I'm using the Electrik Preamp

 

[MetalBuddah]

Oh very very nice! I am really digging the sound of that...maybe I will god and try that out today. What kind of fx are you putting on the guitars? Just a gate + comp or something?

 

[KoenDercksen]

I have two EQ's, compressor, TS and noise gate in there. Delay for solo's...

There is no post-editing done on the guitars, nothing at all. I just slapped the impulse on it and went with it

 

[Charlez]

Is there only one guitar in this? Sounds mono.

 

[KoenDercksen]

There are 4...

100/50/50/100. So maybe it's you?

 

[the unbearable]

no, i agree. sounds very cut & paste.

 

[KoenDercksen]

Hm it's not.. Weird

 

[Kurkkuviipale]

Overheads are too high. And a tad too compressed as well.

Kick drum... Cut mid range, emphasize highs and lows. Nuff said. Oh and proper compression, multiband, if you will.

E: Guitar sound is balls!

 

[KoenDercksen]

I do not understand multiband compressors

Will try to cut even more midrange on the kick... It's pretty much gone already though.

Multiband compressor is like bussing your track in four different channels, filtering multiple regions with EQ and compressing the channels individually.

What kick sample are you using? I'm BTW in the phase of buying drum mics (have 7 already ) and I'm posting my full superior drummer mix with detailed information on plugins. I can also sample my kit pieces - I love my Tama Starclassic Maple set.

 

[KoenDercksen]

OH HOLY SHIIIIII-

Dude your Superior mix is AWESOME. I'll edit this with the kick piece I'm using in a minute.

 

[KoenDercksen]

Alright so editting won't work for some reason.
Anyway, I'm using the 20x24 Haaken kick mixed with the 14x24 GMS from Avatar!

What's the best way of mixing kicks midi wise? Since you can't put two samples on the same key...

 

[KoenDercksen]

Now I've got some weird ass clipping going on during rendering... Can't help it, sorry guys

I dig the guitar tone! The mix sounds like it needs a bass guitar. If there is one, I can't hear it.

 

[KoenDercksen]

There is a bass vst but I only use it to provide some low end, because it sounds crappy lol. Turned it down as much as i could without the mix suffering..
