Re: New Song (it's been way too long)
"For the win." It's one of those 7331 g33k things, I suppose. :laugh2:
Guitar was a Schecter C-1 Blackjack (JB/59), JB used for all distorted tracks, the cleans were 2 tracks of the 59 through the POD, and 2 tracks of the center position (one coil from each) DI'd. Guitar is in D standard.
Amp model for the gain was actually how I'd set up a Recto in real life. Treadplate dual, treadplate 4x12, 57 on axis (15% room), 4.5, 7, 5, 8, 0, and 7, in order of gain, bass, mid, treble, presence, channel volume. Stomp engaged, using the Screamer model, drive at 15%, gain and tone at 50%. 2 tracks hard left/right, 2 tracks 80% left/right, total of 4 rhythm tracks. Post EQ for HPF and LPF, as well as some slight boosts around 450hz for note clarity, and 3khz for more of an 'in your face' type of thing.
For the lead tracks, I had that running with a short bit of delay, and a touch of verb from the POD. Single track left/right, and EQ'ed with Cubase's stock eq.
Cleans were just the Tweed B-Man model and 4x10 cab with a bit of chorus and verb. No post-eq
I (as of these new recordings, at least) always have one bus with a room verb, and I send the snare, toms, hihat a tiny bit, and OH's just a tad to it, as well as the clean and lead tracks. Using one verb for everything makes it all sound a bit more cohesive, I've found.
I gotta bring the snare down and toms up a bit, as well as a bit more verb on the toms, methinks.

Re: New Song (it's been way too long)
Thanks Jeff. I want to try my hand at playing that style of music and that info helped greatly. I may be an old fart, but I've got a young heart, lol. I've got a Jackson DK-2 that I'm ripping the Duncan Designed out of and I just happen to have a JB so I'll throw that in and see what happens. I've got a line 6 Vetta 1/2 stack so the recto sounds shouldn't be a problem either.
For the record, what is D standard tuning...is that the D,G,C,F,A,D tuning?

Yessir, DGCFAD. I've dabbled in so many different tunings... It's nice to finally settle on one that has all the clarity and grind of higher tunings, with the ballsy low end of downtuning.

That's too close to drop-C for me. I know I'd try it for about five minutes before going "rrrgghhhh down to C you go!"
