First song in a long time

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

I came up with this riff last week.
My other guitarist really liked it so...
Saturday I laid the guitar (1 take) and drums down.
I think this is exactly what a T75 sounds like.
Sunday I did the bass and vocals.... 2 takes for bass and 8 takes for vocals....

It's the first time trying to record vocals since my throat surgery...

Tonight I did 4 more takes ending in disaster mostly.... It's like trying to sing with someone else's throat.... Feels weird and can't quite get anything close to what it was before(which truthfully wasn't that great to begin with lol)
Anyhow... I just got back inside from the garage with my 13th vocal take. I can live with it.... It's not where I want it to be, but it may be good enough for this metal song.



Thanks for listening.

Those opening mutes are d@mn juicy. I swapped out all my T75s. You got a lot better sound out of them than I ever did. Sorry to hear about the throat surgery.

Thanks !

Lots of people who record either love the 75s or hate them. They have a certain honkyness to them sometimes. I pulled all mine out at one time, but I went back to at least keeping 2 of them.

There is this whole room somewhere calls tips and clips....

Moved to the correct sub-forum.

That sounds great! What mics and preamps did you use?

thank you!
I used a Gibson BFG with a Duncan Distortion tuned Drop B into a Marshall JVM and an sm57 in front of a T75 into
a little focusrite Scarlett into my phone with an app called Dolby On. (Droid)

I had the opposite. They tended to sound thin and washed out in the mids. Didn’t record well for my liking.

Listened in car on the way home - very catchy. Dig the chorus

[Demanic]

That's Metal.

Thanks! And it's funny you should say that,
When I sat down to write something , the chorus is what was in my head. It is really the foundation of the song to me..
I had to work out and write the rest of it to fit around it.

[Securb]

As usual, your guitar tone is ....

Thanks guys!

sometimes it's easy to impress people who don't know anything about music, so if it sounds good to you guys, that is powerful to me. Appreciate all the kind words, I truly do.
