okay heres a quick improvisation.

https://soundcloud.com/hamza-hashmi/hardrock-solo

DETAILS: rythm guitar(yamaha erg121) < zoomg2.1u < guitar rig 5(2 amp cabinets and gain
booster). <eq <compressor.
lead gutiar (yamaha erg121) < zoomg2.1u < gutiar rig 5 (amp cab and gain booster) <eq< compressor.
drums (ez drummer) < compressor < eq<reverb.
bass (midi)< 4fbass< guitar rig (bass amp).

i used quick quack upstereo for stereo width on the main bus, and reduced the size of the file from 50mb to 3mb using a mp3 converter (with no notable difference :/ ).

Grabbed some raw tracks that Ola posted on the Andy Sneap Forums waaaay back:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16210823/UG.../Feared-LRA.mp3

Trying out the newly release TSE x50 1.0.1 on guitars and I think it sounds pretty ****ing killer.

GTRS DI > TSE x50 > Recabinet > Eq

Bass DI > TSE B.O.D. 2

Vox > Eq > Compression > Delay > Reverb

Drums > Metal Machine EZX, all internal processing on the mixer.

Really interested on how the guitars sounds, trying for the ever elusive natural amp sim sound!

I got a bass guitar and EZ Drummer a week ago, which has led to me trying to record and mix a song. This is my first 'real' mix (previous ones were with just 2 or 3 different tracks and only setting volumes/pan, no EQ or anything like that), so I'm pretty sure it's not perfect yet. That's why I'm looking for some constructive criticism.

I don't really have any money for proper (recording) equipment, so I recorded the guitars and bass (all Squiers) through the USB-output of either my amp (Yamaha THR10) or my multi-fx pedal (Digitech RP355). The THR10 also sends a seperate DI signal in the USB-output, so I used the TSE B.O.D on that for the bass track.

I only have good things to say about the mix (and tone), but the lead guitar is kinda out of tune...

Hey guys, spent a few hours on this today and I would very much welcome any feedback you guys have.

Here's the link.



Thanks!

If you're trying to make a useful comparison, you need to have the perceived volume of the mix and master at the same level.

Yeah I was going to do that in iMovie but I couldn't figure out how, the video is mostly done to show the finished mastered sound.

This sounds really solid for a first attempt.

EZDrummer sounds nice (if a little thin and lacking in low end), and the rhythm guitars are big and crunchy. Those THR10 are killer little desktop amps!

Don't be scared to use a bit of delay on the lead guitar to give it a sense of space. Try NastyDLA at around 200-300ms with the wet mix at about -10dB, in one of the stereo settings.

Using suggestions and tips from UG I made up this mix with my bands old songs, It's my first attempt at self recording as we didn't want to pay for a studio for our old songs but we wanted them recorded for memorabilia reasons.

Quite literally could do with SO much help here
I finished double tracking rhythm guitars
Left drums in as a faint hope
Put a channel eq on each rhythm, put an EQ on the bus
And hoped for the best
(EQ wise, I used Logic's preset Picked Guitar on the initial track, on the bus I used the Loudness EQ)

Could do with some SERIOUS advice here :/

You do have a cab impulse in there right?

On the other, I'm using the same Sm57 panned right, and the same U87 panned centre

Hmmm. When you wake up I wonder if it'd be possible for you to provide stems (unaffected versions of all the tracks in your session) and I'll take a look. I mean I can sit here all day and be like, try this or try this. But I think it might be a bit easier just to show my work flow with something like this.

Provide Stems?
As in, the blank tracks with no plugins at all?

Yup. Wanna see what I can do with it and if there's anything that could be tripping you up. Cuz I don't see why it'd sound kinda bad even when the tone you've got isn't awful on it's own.
