[DanTravis62]

You know you wanna give it a listen.



I really dig the riffs in this, most of the time I avoid 6/8 unless it's a really good one

 

[Techdeth]

Good shit!!! Where’s the BASS Lars?

Good shit!!! Where’s the BASS Lars?

it's there, and it's quite loud, it just melds together with the guitar tone - still pokes through in parts though, like the breakdown after the solo

Especially in stuff this busy compositionally I don't like clanky trebly bass - i prefer a more jamerson style smooth, support role tone for it

 

[harddriver]

Dig it! Very cool arrangements Dan!

 

[Jdub]

Bad ass!! Sounds crushing! Pummeling rhythm and crisp lead tone. Me like! Signal chain?

I love bass. My ears go there first.

Thanks man - I did the whole thing with my purple les paul classic

rhythm tracks are kemper profiles of a Rev C recto and my old Larry Dino, and Scumback BM75LD IRs I made myself

Its double quad tracked with each amp profile with 1 57 and 1 royer 121 for each amp each side - so 8 total rhythm tracks. The real trick when doubling that many times is getting the low end under control, which means a multiband compressor around 120hz

The lead tracks are a kemper profile of an absolutely cranked 69 super lead and a wall of sound NOSV30 IR

scheps omnichannel on lead guitar tracks as far as vst, thats it

bass tracks are my cheap squier pbass with steve harris pickups, and an SWR workinman/redhead plugin, with which I always blend with a midi track of the exact same bass line I play for versatility and sub-thump

Besides that, just using metrodrummer over a midi of the actual drum performance, split into their separate drums, scheps omni channel, waves 1176, and automation on everything

When I heard the chugg factor I was wondering if there was some Larry in there.. It sounded how I imagine a Larry would. That was crushing.. Do you play all the rhythm parts or use a Di track and re-amp. I am brand new o recording so pardon my clueless questions, but I would like to learn and get better at it. Thanks for the input and sounds awesome and smoking playing. You have talent for an asshole. LOL. JK..

 

[DanTravis62]

I play all the rhythm parts on this one but in certain situations I will reamp - it just depends on if ive already got a tone in mind or I want to try some different things. With this one, I had a good idea of what I wanted to do tonewise.

If you're not sure about the tone though it's always best to take a Di and give yourself a backup and some options. If you're playing something super difficult, punching in and out is also easier on a DI track. But with this one I wasn't playing anything too crazy so I could track it live with no issues. I also take a di if I'm recording someone else every time.

Appreciate you taking the time to listen!
