"Yet, unlike power-hungry PCs, the Axe-Fx II consumes less than 40W and is nearly silent in operation."

My latest recording/mix endeavor: A Killswitch Engage cover.

Slightly updated mix: http://soundcloud.com/metalxguy/rose-of-sharyn-cover-music-1 This mix contains some more in depth mixing, the tambourine is now in the main ending part of the song, which it wasn't in mix 1, the bass is more solid, the clean and leads were re-tracked to be crisper and...

Hey man, I could share the patch but honestly to get the tone it would take some work on your part to recreate you know? Because it's actually two patches, one Rectifier patch and one 5150 patch. I'd track the left guitars once through with the recto patch, then track the same guitars over again...

My latest recording/mix endeavor: A Killswitch Engage cover.

Hey prometh, just filling you in, this song is a cover of a Killswitch Engage song. I didn't write it and their song has singing and screaming on it, they're a metal and hardcore band so our version will be a vocalist doing the same. You can youtube the song "Rose Of Sharyn" if you want to hear...

My latest recording/mix endeavor: A Killswitch Engage cover.

Okay so my latest self-studio challenge I wanted to try was to achieve that huge and heavy recording sound Adam D. and Andy Sneap achieved with KSE's End Of Heartache cd. So although I'm pretty sure the guitars on that cd we're a combination of the Framus Dragon head and a 5150. I worked with...

My band's newest song, 7 string djenty tone on heavy metal song.

I have this preset posted in one of my previous posts. I've only heard from one person having trouble loading it into their axe-edit, if you have trouble let me know as well. I only recorded once through for each guitar, (once left, and once for right) that one take through is two actual tracks...

My band's newest song, 7 string djenty tone on heavy metal song.

My band that broke up back in 2005 is back together now. Here's our latest song taking full advantage of my Axe-Fx Standard for the guitars on the song. For those who may be interested in any specs of what was used in the recording, guitars were recorded on a Schecter Diamond Series C7...

Some djenty goodness I'm working on.

Guitars sound awesome even despite the rush in putting it together. Yeah I'd really love to put a Music Man JP 7 on order some day in the future, unfortunately I need a new car before anything so that's gotta come first before my current car bites the dust.

Well the axe-change isn't letting me upload the patch, so I'm attaching the .syx file to this post and you can download it by clicking here: [attachment=0:1tx2zj8y]Djentastic.syx[/attachment:1tx2zj8y] It's very mid boosted as you can hear, and also as you've all said it's real clean, and that's...

Some djenty goodness I'm working on.

Hey, thanks man, yeah I'm definitely not trying to imitate it exactly, but to get the same vibe and overall similar mix sound, that really big and full mix with huge guitars and really hard cutting drums. I've been an engineer for a few years now and I love all sorts of styles of recordings, but...

This is a work in progress, I basically took the how to get a djent tone tutorial video and then tweaked the hell out of his personal preset to get it that much closer to the recording tone that Misha "bulb" of periphery had and used for their debut full length. It's a guitar tone I particularly...

First recording with my Axe-FX. Thrash metal style.

This is just a sample of a thrash metal recording project I'm gonna be working with, but more importantly is one of the first recordings of using my new axe-fx standard. I love this thing and the patch I dialed in is a JCM800 with a drive first in the chain. This was with my mexican fender strat...
