Re: Wrote a new tune
Re-recorded all the guitars today.
I tried putting an SM81 about three feet away from the amp and a Beta 57 an inch from the cab, about two inches to the right of the speaker cone. Panned the 81 hard left and the 57 hard right, and really liked the sound. What I play back it's very close to the amp in the room when you're standing in front of it. Then re-tracked the guitar parts with a little less gain and a lot more volume (wife and kid were out of the house this morning) than the first time, which also seemed to work well.
Here's a (hopefully final) mixdown: http://sclk.co/r/s89c2h No effects or processing added after recording this time. That's the drum machine sounds, the new bass with amp DI, and the guitar in the room with no EQ/reverb/effects/compression added to the individual tracks. I just leveled them so they sounded mostly in balance with each other, did a mix down, and tossed on a touch of 2:1 compression on the whole thing. Thanks a lot for all the comments! I think it sounds better now (although you're free to tell me that I've ruined everything . . . and in a couple hours when the high of finishing a recording fades I'm sure that the mistakes will start to jump out at me). :P
For those who care:
Rhythm
SSL-1 neck -> small stone phaser (univibe mod) with the knob at about 3 -> Traynor YCV40WRs dirty channel volume up, gain pretty low with an SD Deja Vu Delay set to dotted eighths in the effects loop.
Solo 1
SSL-1 mid -> BD-2 -> Traynor YCV40WRs clean channel with Deja Vu in the loop (knocked back the level a bit from the Rhythm setting)
Solo 2
SSL-5 bridge -> BD-2 -> Traynor YCV40WRs clean channel with Deja Vu in the loop (knocked back the level a bit from the Rhythm setting)
All using my trusty Charvel So Cal.
