Kingsmen: sad but true cover.

Did they use the Danelectro baritone for just this track like Metallic did, to add that extra rattly kerrang / heaviness to the guitars that isn't there on the other tracks?

Pretty nice track though, sounds pretty good.

I believe so yes, but again, I believe the producer is going to do a rundown on everything eventually
 
The actual amp setup used on the black album would’ve been near impossible to replicate, as a multitude of amps were used and combinations etc, but I agree not as markish. Surprised to see such borderline negative reviews on this, the fact that anyone got this close is mind blowing, and I doubt few could pull this off.


you know good tone man, im a little surprised youre so enamored with this one. like i said it in no way sounds bad, it sounds really good but the guitars just arent that close to the album to me. i would think if someone was going to do a meticulous recreation of that album some sort of mark would be the first thing to get. theres plenty of guys here with marks that have all but nailed that tone that if you put in this mix i think would sound much closer. this to me just sounds like a good cover with someone using a recto

Agree 100%
 
Instead of laughing your ass off send me the tracks and allow me to embarrass myself. Then you and everyone else can laugh your ass off all day long

As much as I wish I could say I mixed this, I didn’t, sooooo probably not getting the tracks. I’m laughing because it’s just a small minded approach, that’s all. All you’re talking about are the guitars. Could they, by themselves be made to sound better? Sure, absolutely. But it would throw off everything else and how they sit etc. what you’re saying is that you could mix it better, which is why I was laughing, because I highly, highly doubt that.

I get what you’re saying! I think I’m more enamored with the entire process and the production really. The meticulous detail to how accurate all the parts are played, the reverbs and how everything sits much like the original, the stereo image specifically etc. That to me is pretty sick and Impressive. I agree the guitars aren’t nearly as close, but the drums snd vox especially are ridiculous. Like I said above, I think it’s one thing to get the guitars close by themselves, it’s another to get them to sit right and blend with everything else, with everything else being pretty damn close to the original tone wise, if that makes sense.

Now you're putting words in my mouth. I was only talking about the guitars, which you now agree aren't that close. I did say the drums and vocals are good. So whatever.

I didn’t put words in your mouth, you aren’t understanding what I’m saying. You can’t just “make the guitars sound closer” so to speak and just throw them back in the mix and expect everything to sound the same, that is literally my point, that’s all. So while yes maybe you could “ make the guitars sound better”, I couldn’t care less if the entire mix isn’t as good.

I can totally make the guitars sound waaay closer and not “fuck with the mix”. You act like this guy is your boy,so just have him email over the tracks. Challenge accepted or blowhard?

he is, but on what planet do you think you can just “send over tracks” from someone who just Cut a song that’s a signed band? Much less, a Metallica cover by a signed band? Are you delusional? Jesus Christ, if you are THAT good, you would be a somebody, but you are obviously living in la la land. “Oh yea lemme just get the tracks and I’ll just make them better no problem yep!” LMAO GTFOH man….
 
I got an idea… why don’t you screenshot this thread and email or DM mark yourself and ask him, I’m sure he’d get a kick out of it… if you are so adamant that you are MixMasterFresh, just go ahead and ask him yourself. Challenge accepted or blowhard?

Nice try. Figured you’d come up with some BS. Lol still talking about mixing too. Never hinted about a mix. ??‍♂️
youre a strange cat, I simply made a comment about the guitars and you got weird and personal. You must be a real treat in your personal life. But hey you did admit you were a cynical asshole in another thread so…your words, not mine.
I do apologize for taking part in this lame back and forth. What a waste of time and energy.

Nice try? You’re the one who thinks someone can just “send over tracks” and let you remix some guitars. You can’t do it, if you can, YOU track the song yourself, or YOU email mark or the band and ask for the tracks. Why would I do that for you when YOU are the one who won’t shut up about this? Be a man and call and tell the band or mark how you feel yourself, and then show them, don’t ask others to do it for you. You think I’m strange for saying that? You are the one on a guitar forum flexing your chest to get some tracks that you think people just hand over.

Well maybe he could sort out that overbearing bass while he’s at it…lol

Aren’t you the one always not so subtly hinting you know a bunch of pro artists and recording engineers?? Kind of an ironic statement, no?

Im not sure where you are going with this. What does me knowing people, relate to them just sending me tracks for guys on rig talk to mix?
