edit sent prematurely. its fucking late here i stayed up all night to avoid work.....

Guitar reverend with railhammer humbuckers i kept the bass contour/high pass filter knob untouched.
Im using Key in gate noise gate. King in yellow overdrive.
Im using Headfirst Evil joe (hot rodded marshall) as one of the sounds recorded twice. then mesa mk 7 for the other.
LCFR150 speakers (thats fane with a lot of low end) and then scumback speakers.

shure sm57 and sterling audio st170 ribbon.

let me know if anything else is important to evaluate or give feedback. and i really appreciate it.

hi guys,
so last year i made some recordings. the only bit of feedback i received was the monkeyman telling me it sounded scooped (not what i was going for....)

Self reflection the recordings were not good. they were not bad either. but not good. Ive been working really hard to make any progress through reading and practicing.
I think ive made progress but i really need feedback if you can please give me anything to work from.

I really dont care if its good or bad feedback. I just want external feedback so i can do more.

Since my last recordings:
1. i learned more about different microphones. now i have a cheapo ribbon mic that adds a lot and i think its much more pleasant to listen to vs. just my sm57 or condensor+dynamic.

2. speakers: a bit of improvement in where i aim the microphone. also have more midforward scumbacks. V30s are still the easiest to get a good sound with and minimal work. but im gungho to avoid and use everything else.

3. most of my speakers are scooped so im now better for extreme eq adjustmnet, blending brighter/mid forward speakers.

4. i just know more know and am testing things out. Personally, split stereo pan adjustments i can tweak better imo. i know how to add more volume to my recording without cranking amp. adjusting. fixing phase. im stil figuring out some things hope to have your feedback. these recordings are quad tracked. first time ive done that. i usually do double track only. i really dont know pros/cons yet.

Here are a few recordings.







heres the "album"s

Hey man,

I don’t want to rain on the parade because I can tell you’ve been putting some effort into this stuff, but without having drums and bass to hear alongside the guitars, it’s all a bit pointless. Any one of those tones could just as easily work and just as easily NOT work depending on what the other instruments are doing and sound like.

There’s not even a one-size-fits-all guitar tone for an album full of songs that are similar in style and tempo, Even AC/DC does different shit with the guitar tones from track to track.

You got any of these with the other instruments?
