maple steinberger headless -> bkp miracle man -> marshall 2204 -> celestion g12h100 -> realistic pzm -> zoom mrs8

obviously, as this took only a few minutes, dont expect greatness ;) i'm relatively happy with the rhythm sound, solo needs more production work - but its late, work tomorrow etc etc... anyway its a pretty throw away track. just wanted to test the PZM microphone for guitar work.

comments would be useful.

in case anyone wonders, the synth is a Korg MS2000R, which i played live, hence the wobbly timing.

edit: the title to make it more sexy sounding

Rhythm guitar should be much louder. I'd like to hear it with just the rhythm guitars (louder), bass, and drums.

As for the tone, it's pure old school and gets the TO Seal of Approval. (Kid tested, metalhead approved)

Thats a LOUD clip!  :P

Just kidding allthough i ducked when i started the track on my way too loud PC speakers :lol:

Im missing the groove of the backline in the guitar part, your not 'on top' of the bass enough with the rythm part(which is a must IMO). I would even prefer a bit of extra uptempo palmmutes on that.

On the other hand if you want to give it a more heavy feel reducing the drum and bass in volume and double tracking the guitar could work, but then i dont like the 'stiff upperlip' sound as much in the track.

So thats it, hope its usefull in some way, i usually just dont comment if the track is not how i would have done it, which is just not something i like to do, im not a critic, i dont have a musical degree, so there.

thanks for the comments. yes - i try and make all myself as loud as possible using compression. however - i might have overcooked it this time as i can hear a bit of digital distortion.

looks as if i made the rhythm guitar too low in the mix then - thats a very useful tip. normally i make electronic dance music, so am used to keeping things balanced, or have the drums/vocals in front if anything. of course with metal, it would be better to have the guitar more pronounced - something it seems i've overlooked here.

this was very useful feedback
