    FW12 6160 + Recto2 Red Quad Track / New Rock Single

    Thank you very much. The german cab gave the huge low end it needed in the mix and also the bass helped a lot to create the movement. Yes the drums are all programmed.

    FW12 6160 + Recto2 Red Quad Track / New Rock Single

    Thanks guys. The original mix is here.I recorded 4 layers of guitar tracks and panned left right 80-100% depending on the riffs. If I'm not wrong I used a stereo cab with German 4x12 and 4x12 V30 #4 (Kalthallen). I will low pass it from 7.5k - 8k hz to get rid of the fizz as usual. Just need the...

    FW12 6160 + Recto2 Red Quad Track / New Rock Single

    Hey everyone, Here's the guitar playthrough for this rock single "Labyrinth" that I've written and produced for my band, Goodnight Monsters. This is not the original mix as I've pumped up the guitars volume for the video. I was a little skeptical about quad tracking as it tends to cause muddy...

    First recording with Axe Fx 2 (High gain, Metalcore)

    Thanks it's my all time favourite =) warpigs is really good and brutal. Even split coil sounds fantastic. I'm so sorry. I modified the patches a lot that it doesnt sound like this demo. Anyway it's not that hard. 6160 + 4x12 german w/ 57 dyn will naturally blend in the mix well. Of cos I used a...

    First recording with Axe Fx 2 (High gain, Metalcore)

    thanks! =D Well 1st of all it's easier to dial in and the sound is even close to a tube amp. And also the room level, room size etc parameters really help a lot in emulating mic-ed up cabs. The various additional features to the Axe Fx II really helps a lot as well. Especially the USB!!! Now I...
