Scream Aim Fire Cover Mix - 5150 Content (Duncan JB)

Re: Scream Aim Fire Cover Mix - 5150 Content (Duncan JB)

Drums need more woof, more lows around 60-80hz, maybe even lower

The guitar tone is perfect!

More on the tone --- it had tons of definition and was not fuzzy or fizzy.

It was aggressive but not overkill. Very...right.

Way to go, take a picture of how you have your knobs turned!

Evening guys! Thanks for listening both of ya : ) The mic was at 45 degrees to the dust cap on a V30 mesa cab impulse! Definitely takes the fizz out but keeps the best parts of the tone there.

thanks Vendetta!

Updated mix. Got rid of a fair chunk of low mids from the guitars, upped the bass a tinge and ive changed the kick. A slight reduction on the snappyness of the snare to bring some more of the cunk through. Havent touched the toms as yet though. I think the kick works better than the old on the intro especially. I was thinking of adding the quad tracked guitars back in as the beatdown is a little weak on guitars i reckon.

a little heavy for my taste but the recording quality is awesome dude, mad props for that. and some sweet chops too
 
Re: Scream Aim Fire Cover Mix - 5150 Content (Duncan JB)

That sounded so good. What guitar was that in?
 
Re: Scream Aim Fire Cover Mix - 5150 Content (Duncan JB)

Kev you sly bastard, i didn't know you were on here!!!

As i said on another board, very good mix/sound, crap band. Lol.

* Send me your 5150 now.



EDIT- I didn't realise you had the JB in the bridge, your clips sound tighter than practically every other JB clip i've heard (including when i played on it through a GLP- although the mahogany may account for that) barring maybe Dave Mustaine- but i'm sure there was some studio trickery going on with his tone.

Guitar was my trusty old RG2570EX. Its tight as a ducks ass with a JB in tow thats for sure! I was either going to put a JB or evo in at the time and for some reason decided on the JB - cant remember why though.

I come out of the woodwork here on the odd occassion steve :D I used to be a regular many moons ago but for some reason havent been back much- i think i'll set it as one of my homepages in firefox and that'll sort me out!

Listened to the clip, thought it ruled. Realized what BFMV stands for, *bought* (downloaded... shh!) their new album, listened to the track you covered. At first, I thought your cover tracks were fake because they sounded so close to the real thing! Nice, nice job.

Thanks for listening hec!

How do you like the album alex? also thanks for listening and the compliment!
 
Re: Scream Aim Fire Cover Mix - 5150 Content (Duncan JB)

I've yet to listen to the whole thing. I really like Poison and their EP before that, so I'm sure this album won't disappoint. This one has a lot more of an old school metal vibe, so I'm hoping that they haven't lost their sense of melody. And there were no kittens killed, because I downloaded it LEGALLY with the Ruckus player! It's a great program, but you can only play the songs on your computer unless you get some kind of real-time audio recorder.

There have been yearly busts of innocent kids in my town so I'm too afraid of getting sued to download any other way these days...

EDIT: sense of melody returns with "Hearts Burst Into Fire." This is the BFMV that I love. Awesome!
