Here's a playthrough with Tab linked for anyone interested. I'll post the preset tomorrow.
For anyone interested, I've done a section by section break down here.
Very cool. Thanks for all the info on the guitar tracks. What was done for the bass tracks? How many? Is it Axe III preset(s)? How to EQ to make it not conflict with such a big guitar sound?
I'm not sure what ended up being used on bass, but it was very similar to the Forrester Savell/Karnivool thing - split the bass into 3 bands with a clean DI for the low end and seperate mid/high band distortion. Easy enough to replicate with the Axe. Live Ryan uses the Axe-III B7K & SVT model into a York Audio 2x10 IR.
sounds top to me.. as usual good playing and tone..there are still sure things in life... ... But it must be said I really like the vocals...
The mission directive was "make the guitars sound THICK"Super fat guitars! Love it!
