lurksalot Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 That sounds brilliant , really like it lots , I only think that as I have seen a lot of 6 minuter + stuff ,I would prefer 3 minuter stuff , It might be totally different with a vocal however, maybe I am just impatient and want a change sooner than 7 minutes , Its a lot easier now to hit repeat and listen again to a three minute song if I want too, rather than duck out of a song twice as long IYSWIM.

winterfire666 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 thanks! i was thinking about this(length of tracks) recently and might in the future make an edited version if there are no vocals recorded yet, not really sure though. would that be a good idea? maybe.......

51m0n Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Nah you're fine mate, my bands shortest track is 7 minutes, longest is 25 minutes and we don't have a vocalist. Totally different genre mind, but the last gig the punters sais they had no idea the tracks were anywhere near that long they were enjoying it so much... Of course they may have all been off their heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Sounds excellent! I saw a Kemper in Andertons. I'm perfectly happy with my POD X3 LIVE though. Modelling has come a long way, no doubt you'll get someone saying it's not like a cranked valve amp or some sh*t like that, usually someone who makes valve amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I forgot to comment on the track in the OP Excellent guitar and bass sound! Clearer and more high quality mix than a lot of major label releases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Sounds way cool - even just on bass-freq-limited iMac speakers - very good mix too - are the drums programmed? If so good job.. I couldn't tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterfire666 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 thanks for the compliments! the drums were played in on a digital kit and there was a few minor edits just to tighten things up, but hes a great drummer so not much to do really, the kit is based around the toontrack metal machine kit with some additional processing in superior drummer 2. looking forward to getting the vocals down but unfortunately the singer wont be available for a couple of weeks.

(I wanted them to work for me but I always found them somehow two dimensional). Having heard the Kemper, I ordered one immediately. (Though tbf I was in Nashville at the time producing a record that Michael Wagener - possibly the king of guitar tone - was mixing. Im lucky enough to have brought his full set of Kemper amp tones home with me ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Favourite thing about Wireworld (Wagener's gaff) is he used weed matting to cover his absorption, and it looks ace - who would have thought? That and the mountain of fantastic kit obviously! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimskidog Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) and fwiw its entirely true about the wall covering. Though if anyone asks he always says it's mongolian monkey hair... another interesting fact is that the 1176 on the bottom left of your pic (which fwiw was used on bass in Master of Puppets) now resides in my rack... ;-) Edited April 10, 2013 by Rimskidog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the kick drum, on M of P actually has balls (shock horror!).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
