Fooling around with remixing some clips, give a listen & add your $.02

[CGord]

Lemme know whatcha think. After a few listens, I lose all objectivity.

Original: 1351

New: 1351 (remix)

Opinions wanted, good, bad, or meh.

And yes, that is the almighty Squier 51. :bowdown:

Remix has a more live feel to it, with the guitar too compressed.

Guitar is much larger sounding in the original, but the drums and bass are muddy/indistinct.

Are you sure that you're not the guitarist from Powerman 5000?

The remix is sounding more right in my opinion. In the first one the guitars are too loud and cover the drums. Very good sound overall in both tracks.
Very nice riffs also.

Cool guitar sound and riff/song. What did you use?

I can't really give a crit without hearing it on proper monitors though.

No, I'm the guitarist for Prong. :chairfall (I wish!) Re. compression, it doesn't change between the two. What I did with the guitars was to cut the mids some, & boost the low end some.

Thanks! The drums were definitely too low in the first one. I eq'd them a little, & brought them way up in the mix. Which is like pulling teeth for me, because I'm a guitarist, not a drummer!

I use the Line 6 RiffTracker package, it's the Guitar Port + RiffWorks software. For a recording n00b like me, it's a good entry-level setup. The amp model is the Bogner Uberschall (Line 6's digital version of it, anyway). The guitar is my $99 Squier 51. Dancing bananas for cheap gear! :banana: :banana: :banana: There are two guitar tracks panned about 90% L & R, then duplicated, lowered to about 50%, & swapped side to side.

I expect it'll sound like crap on proper monitors; Lord knows I'm not using any.

You're a man after my own heart $99.00...fantastic!

What tuning did you use? It sounds heavy for a tele. Or is it a Strat?

Re: Fooling around with remixing some clips, give a listen & add your $.02

It's a little of both!

Strat body, Tele neck, bridge humbucker w/coil split, & neck single coil. This thing has everything I would order on a custom Fender: maple fretboard, humbucker/single coil, & fixed bridge. I have to tune it every time I play it, but what the hell, it was dirt cheap. It's a bizarro axe, but that's the fun of it for me.

Tuning...I believe this one is in drop D.

That's okay about the tuning all of the guitars I've owned from a $2500 Gretsch to a $500 LTD had tuing issues.

ok, maybe Static-X.
I'm not actually trying to insult you. I like most of your clips.

Increasing the volume of the drums will create less room in the mix for the guitars, i.e. compression...Especially when you are cutting the frequencies on the guitar track where there is the most room in the mix--mids.--makes the guitar sound much smaller.

Well, I'd rather be compared to Static-X than Powerman 5000, but I can understand it with this one. It's more rock than metal.
