Yes, yet another TOS "solo" video, however I figured I'd do something a bit different this time. I mainly wanted to give my Axe FX II a "field test", brush up my rusty audio production skills and why not video tape myself while I was at it? I chose this song/section because it simply RULEZ (great memories).
The main focus was the audio, which was fully produced in Sonar. I wanted to simply use 3 guitar tracks (2 rhythm, 1 lead), each one recorded in one straight shot and each with it's own video on the screen. The guitar sounds are my own patches and come straight from the Axe FX II with minimum post-EQ to fit them right into the mix. I sequenced the MIDI tracks for drums and bass from scratch as well.
NOTES:
- The objective was never to try and resemble Megadeth's sound, original recording or live performance of this tune.
- Yes yes, this song has nothing to do with a 7-string, but that's the only axe I have in E and I wanted to keep the original tuning.
TECH DETAILS:
- Sonar 8.5 PE (64-bit)
- EZDrummer w/Metal Machine
- Axe FX II (JMP-1/Powerball patches for rhythm, JVM for the lead - v6.00)
- B.C. Rich Jr. V 7 w/Seymour Duncan Blackouts
- Monitored on 2 Yamaha HS-50
- TrakAxPC 3
I'll update with links to the Axe FX II (v6.02) patches soon...
Enjoy
