First mic results I'm proud of! Salvado, Mash-all, Xtacy

[m0jo]

Last night after many earlyer tries I finally got some good toanz from mics!

The trick?
- Not use my eminence speakers (nice for live, blow on recording)
- One mic center, one mic off center but tilted towards the center

Hard rhythms (chorus): Salvation Mods Salvado DLX
Softer rhythms (verses): Salvation Mods Mash-all+
Solo: XTC with some Salva tweaks

There's a lot of space for vocals, so it seems a bit long without them.

Sounds great m0jo! Nice work and great tones...WHen I first started listening I thought it was "Lay It Down" by Ratt!

same here lol! nice playing and tones!

 

[Jaymzrock]

Sounds great man!

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Yeah that first chord is BIG time Lay it Down sounding!! You've got a nice spacious feel there. Two sm57's? or two diff mics?

 

[davetheslave]

What a Rad track. Well done.
Hope I get those results recording one day.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

very cool, excellent solo!
I would try decreasing the voulume of the rhythm track a few notches on the side the solo is on up until those Jimi bends, that would make the stellar lead playing stick out more!

 

[m0jo]

Thanks guys!
Haha I love the Ratt comments.

It was dual mic-ed, one Sennheiser e606 and one Byerdynamic ..something (we have to invest in some SM57's soon.. )
The e606 bang center and the Beyerdynamic turned and a little off, most of it is from the Beyer...

@Ray: yeah the mix is balls at the moment.
We're gonna redo the guitar tracks (maybe doubletracked) and add vocals. I'll post the end result!

 

[Daryl]

Yeah!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
You just keep getting better and better dude!!! Nice solo BTW.
Awesome clip. :wink:

 

[Hamner1]

Sounds pretty good. It will be interesting to hear it with the vocals. It has a Ratt vibe, but the tones sound a little more modern. Still very cool.

Several people
Hyenik (on this forum) and Pedro Deluxe did almost all of them.
Then there are two of mine (marked with "Joris Griffioen") and some others.
