DSL, SD1, Metalzone, Riffin'

[nightflameauto]

Had the week off for the wife's birthday and to take care of some family shiz and decided I was gonna spend a day riffin' out.

Here's the first bits of a tune I'm working on, the Enemy Within. It's a tribute to a character from my books, about what it's like to live forever, and suffer every moment for the last 579 years, then running smack dab into hope.

I feel I could tighten that up a bit before the final version happens.

This one's just fun throbbery, but I liked the way it sounded so I kept it. With bass.

Both are just four takes per side. Metalzone on one, Keeley SD-1 on the other, Broughton Audio EQ dealy thingy on two takes per side, off for two. Drums is all GGD Nastier than Thou with a little extra EQ tossed on.


So, how's everybody been doin'? Barely have the time to check in these days. A week off allows me a moment. LOL.

The tracks sound great man. DSL is always a win.
It's been slow here lately so you didn't miss much. I mean, I've been fucking around with my gear, but that goes without saying.

Sounds awesome!! I ain’t gonna lie, when I was 5150 shopping Motor City had two JCM 2000 DSL 100s and I was severely tempted. But I knew if I plugged into one it would have come home and my goal was a 5150. Still, though… may have to get one back in the stable for more modern Marshall tones. And if I do recording again it should mix well with the 5150.

greatmutah, I'd love to hear a DSL and a 5150 slamming the same mix.

I'm starting to think my fifteen minutes of, "Shove this bass in here and layer the guitars like so," turned out to be one of my better overall guitar/bass combined tones ever. That second clip has something going on in it that just gets me giddy, even on my shitty work headphones. And the bass is literally just a clean track with the mids scooped, and a Kazrog fiddy plugin with the mids pushed. That's it. And my shittiest bass ever, a Glarry I haven't even leveled the frets on yet.
