Hi everyone,
So following this thread I made a few days ago, I've been spending these last days working on my sound and I've been getting closer with the rythmic guitars thanks to your advices.
I talked about Gojira last time, but with some time I figured out that the best I could get would be from a mix between the sound of Gojira's rythmic guitars and Architects', by having one pair of each one. I mean I don't want to sound exactly like them, but let's say that I want to try the combination of death metal and djenty tones, as I like them both, and I want to start from these two bands' tones.
So now I'm trying to better my "Architects pair", and I figured out thanks to the Youtube video called "Architects "Gone With The Wind" raw multitracks [UNBOXING]" from URM Academy that they didn't seem to have a loud attack on their rythmic guitars (you can hear it at 9:21).
So I found a preset that I tweaked a bit and I tried to minimize the attack but didn't succeed. I tried the advices from the thread named Pick attack reduction (about swell and compression) but didn't work for me.
I tried pretty much every distortion types to see if it had to do with it, didn't seem to work (maybe I did it wrong). So yep, I'm asking you how could I reduce the attack before the mixing step, and how to sound like in the multitracks video, in a more general way.
I figured out Architects used an EVH 5150 III (not sure, but it was in their making of video for their album Lost Forever / Lost Together) and I think I'm quite close to their general tone. It seems that it's just this parameter that I can't fix. I might also be wrong and it's not about the attack.
I'm using a Schecter Omen Extreme 7 and a hard pick (Dunlop 1mm).
Here's my preset :
