opinions on my tone for this style

[SCOTT502]

Please give this a listen and let me know what you think of the guitar tone. I know the clip has a lot of issues...it's just a quick clip I put together to check my tone for this style of music. As always, any advise is appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

Tone seems pretty appropriate! Original tune?

Re: opinions on my tone for this style

Thanks for listening Larry, and thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's original (although for all I know I subconciously lifted it from somewhere else - tell me if I have). A good friend of mine is putting together a hockey video of his son's team and wanted something "aggressive" to go behind it...this is an idea I sent him to see if I'm on the right track.

The tone is good! It will fit the video quite well imho.

Wow Power and Definition!.I hear that the Bass Frequences are too bludgening.An a little bit more presence on the mix would make it a top song!
I liked the drumms alot!But your picking is the nr1 ingredient on this one.!Gratz!

Re: opinions on my tone for this style

thank you so much for the kind words Daemon- yeah, the guitar sound is untouched...just an Audix i5 on the grill. I am going to experiment with some things and see what happens. You may be right about the bass, I haven't got a bass track on it yet but the two may get in the way of eachother.

Sounds nice and crunchy..fits the drums well!

Re: opinions on my tone for this style

The tone and playing are spot on, Scott! I like the deep bass, too. Sounds smooth and professional, and it certainly matches the style. I can definitely hear that as a backdrop to a hockey commercial featuring some speed and aggression.

Impressive all around, bro.

I use the Audix i5 on the grill and I must say that the mic is bassy- so you have to eq alot of the bass out on the mixer and increase the highs for cut and then you should hear how the actual guitar recording sounds. On my Tascam 4-track I drop the bass counterclockwise to almost none and for treble I open it to 2 o' clock for clarity. Instant great guitar tone! Just thought I'd pass this information along.

Thanks a lot guys, thanks for taking the time to give me your opinions and compliments!

Re: opinions on my tone for this style

Oh, and I forgot to mention it's OK to record on default eq, but after you've recorded a track, definitely start eq'ing otherwise your great guitar track will be buried in shallow mud like your soundclick and when you record the bass guitar- a fight to be heard will ensue!
