Heya,

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

Any comments appreciated!

Nice stuff!!

I love that harmony with the delay.

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 :)

What do you mean, ha?!

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:

Tol · « **Reply #10 on:** July 27, 2006, 04:16:27 PM »

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

deg0ey · « **Reply #11 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 :)

Tol · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2006, 06:52:06 PM »

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 :)
