Heya,

More metal/gainy Abraxas clips.   Two ideas over the same riff and drums.  

Any comments appreciated!

Cool!   Have any advice about recording or tone?

Also,  I want all your pickups.   :lol:

Recording! Me?  :lol:  I'm forcing myself to read a Cubase VST manual and sound recording techniques. The pain! It's making sence but it's like  learning a new lingo! I tend to glaze over after an hour. The parameters involved are vast but it can be done using a few golden rules. Your clip sounded pretty good though.

Are you recording with a Mic or DI? How did you record your track here?

Tone is subjective so just dial in what pleases your ear or try and match something you heard on a CD.

Sure, it was asked to you and all that listened.  

I recorded with the Guitarport.   Easy way to record riffs down!  I agree on your statement about tone.   Good info, thanks.

Crazy Joe:
Cool, someone else liked the tone! It wasn't tapping, just legato :)

Haha Tol, you seem to be the only person in the world with an Abraxas by the looks of these recordings - keep the clips coming :)

Well, you're the only person who ever posts clips of Abraxas - and noone really mentions them all that much, so it seems that you're the only person who has them :drink:

Yeah, your right.    I guess I should get some more clips out besides metal.   Or put some neck clips in as well.

Not too many Holy Divers either...... hmmmm?  Do you have one
Title: Abraxas Drop D
Post by: deg0ey on July 27, 2006, 06:03:05 PM
Aye, that I do - Not got the recording gear yet though, and I'm still waiting on a new scratchplate so I can put them in...but I'll be whoring clips when I get set up :)

Blast...

Not a lot of Holy Divers on here either.  I'll be waiting

Ahem, i have posted 2 or 3 Abraxas demos,they are wicked pickups.Very versatile!

:lol: Sorry Steve...When I was deciding on BKPs and the Abraxas was still an option, Tol's clips were the only ones I heard (maybe it was before yours were up?) and then now he's posting more...

On a side note: Has anyone heard the Killswitch cover of Holy Diver? It's fairly good, but completely fails in comparison to the original :)

Post by: Tol on July 27, 2006, 09:22:59 PM
Ah, Yes, Steve's clips are more songs than clips!
Title: Abraxas Drop D
Post by: steve on July 27, 2006, 09:23:08 PM
Dont worry, i was only pretending to be a brat! Have you got any demos of BK pickups you can post?
Title: Abraxas Drop D
Post by: deg0ey on July 27, 2006, 09:26:13 PM
Myself? Nope, not yet - buying the recording gear this month...need to wait for the new scratchplate 'til I can get the BKs in, but many clips then :)

Tol, I can record-I have the gear-it is the time I have problems with but let me see if I can find, say, a backing track that I can mess around with.
