Powerjoe,

Just since nobody has mentioned it yet, I'd think the bass is a little low and I'd like to hear some more. I dont think you should be shy with the bass in this type of tune, Crank it up there so we can really hear it.

Great guitar sounds for amplitube. I actually quite like that plugin, after a bit of twiddling you can get a really desirable sound

Thanks

Thanks Chris,

I can use all the feedback I can get. I too think the bass was low, but I just didn't want it to "boom" and overpower. So, when the "real" mixing comes, I will ad a bit of compression and boost/ smooth it out a bit. That bass track was done with Amplitube as well. Just straight into the 002 with a MusicMan Stingray bass.

I did some reamping the guitars last night, but I dunno. I guess I will repost it at the same place later today with some changes. Was the track "bright" enough for your ears?

Thanks for offering your comments. They are appreciated.

Yeah, should be good with the bass compressed a bit. It'll be nice if you can just get it a bit more up front and also to fill out the low end a bit more. Great kick sound BTW

Should be interesting to hear the reamped guitars. The track was definitely bright enough for me. No matter what the style I like to hear some nice bright sounds. It brings the songs up to date and gives them that modern sheen.

Thanks

Ah, cheers chap!


Well, I shall get to adding some compression and upping the bass then. I should get a tick to upload again here in the next day. I have done a bit of reamping as well and I think the overall sound of the guitar is broader. (Is that a term I can use with music?) *shrugs*.

Thanks for the suggestions once again.


Out by Devonshire? My relatives are there.

Devon is quite a bit further down from here. My grandads sister used to live down there. Died 2 years ago on my 16th. I'd never actually met the woman, except when I was about 9 months

All,
This is a song that JSTUNNER redid by Alice In Chains. For those of you who do not know JSTUNNER, he is an old high school friend of mine back in the day. Great guy and a really good guitar player which he claims was my fault. (Thanks buddy) He used to be a bassist back in the school days, and then went off on a Zack Wylde assault and turned into an ole school wanker. He does all of these remakes of classics, and this one is another good one. I have heard some of his IRON MAIDEN tunes and they are impressive. I hope that he can (and will) elaborate on his process. His amp I know is an old METALTRONIX 100 watt head. Sounds great! Very heavy.... Puts a boogie to shame as far as tone I think.

Everything is JSTUNNER. Drums are programmed not sure how though.

Here is the link.

WE DIE YOUNG - ALICE IN CHAINS

Enjoy,

P.S> He does his own stuff too that is very good. Just needs to get some balls and post it up!

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Thanks Doc for posting and hosting. My proccess is realy quite simple. Stick a mic in front of an amp and play. I usually do cover songs when I get a new piece of gear or learn a new recording trick. It's easier just to play and record something I'm familiar with than tinker around with writing stuff. Hence the covers, Alice in Chains is a band I've always liked and with We Die Young being a short song it was a good song to try out a new Rode NTK mic for my vocals. The drums on this are done with the BFD program. DW kick, Pearl Toms, Slingerhand Cymbals, and Ludwig Snare from the the regular BFD pack. I usually just use the ole pencil in the note, adjust velocity and copy and paste/repeat function for programing my drums. All guitars are Les Pauls equiped with EMG's 85 in the neck and an 81 in the bridge. I run those through a trusty Boss SD-1 overdrive peadal and a M-1000 Metaltronix Head, conected to just a Marshal 2 x 12 1936 cab. I stick a SM-57 on the left speaker and an E609 on the right, usualy record a few takes and use one take from the 57 and one take from the 609 and pan them hard left and hard right. I have no fancy pre's just stock digi rack pres. Bass guitar is an Ibanez SR-400 run through a DI box nothing fancy. Vocals are cut with a Rode NTK through a stock Digi pre. Other than that I just play. What can I say, I love my Metaltronix and wouldn't part with it for any amount of money.

Hey Doc

Is $125 a good price for (2)Apex 435? I know I've seen them for $69/ea. Thanks

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Doyle,
If they have the shockmounts yes.... I bought my pair, case, foam lined, shockmounts, mic bags and mics for $225.00..

Good deal... worth the money for sure.
