Hi guys,
Just got my little tune back from mastering tonight after a day of delivering late xmas packages for UPS. (That's right...UPS...you can blame me for everything Cliff
My friend just finished filming a suspense/horror movie titled "Brutal" and I wrote this song based on the script. The story is a father getting revenge on the guy who raped and murdered his daughter. It's not a feel good tune...but it sort of rocks I think. It will be the end credits song. I'm a nobody songwriter in Portland, Or so I'm hoping the movie isn't a total flop. I'm not quitting my day job.
All the guitars were recorded Axefx2 (power amp off and no cab sim) out to either a Randall Rt2/50 or Lexicon Signature 284 then to a Mesa 2x12 cab dual mic'd.
I'm not down on the direct thing at all. This is just the set up I've found I like the best. I'm sure there are plenty of guys who can get way better tones going direct.
The bass was also Axefx2 with a fair amount of distortion added. It was run direct out to a Distressor,then to an Anamod before the Avid 8x8 a/d.
I did everything on the song except the drums. My skills as a finger drummer can't compete with the real thing.
I hope you like it and welcome any constructive criticism. I am constantly trying to get better and better quality recordings so I have no ego about this stuff. If you have a tip, throw it at me.
Thanks for listening and Cliff, thanks for putting your heart and soul into something that actually inspires me to create and gives me all the tools I need to do it.
cheers,
Steve
