UPDATE (Sept, 5 2008)

Final version! (The Lost Element Version 2)
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_music.cfm?bandID=865035

Superior 2.0 drums, some minor mix changes and some bigger ones.

For the kick i used the Ez kick i was already using, i don't really like the S2.0 kicks.
For the snare I wanted a snare with a "Scar Symmetry's last album" feel on it, a fat snare with some harmonics. Although there's something wrong about it I can't describe, it might be just the sample itself...

 

[GhostUnholy]

Wow dude that is fucking awesome. I can only critique the music not the mix, but the rhythm tone is killer, but more than anything i like the touches with the clean guitar + orchestral stuff
fucking killer shit dude

 

[Executorg]

Great tone, what hardcore bass preset you use? Makes EQ or other processing on bass?

 

[Rolv]

Can you share the Revalver preset?? awesome tone!

 

[Melb_shredder]

fuck, I'm liking it a lot! Maybe a little brighter could be nice though?
Just me maybe???

 

[Rolv]

Can you also tell us a bit about the post-processing of the guitars?? Eq, compressor etc. And what about mastering? info would be truely appreciated!

 

[Rekisum]

Typical... all your stuff is awesome. And very good sound... damn good!!

 

[Executorg]

Dandelium, please, dont ignore us and give your settings

 

[GuitarHack]

Dandelium, please, dont ignore us and give your settings

Not that I care, but it's maybe just one of those threads "wow, look what I can do, NO, I am not going to tell you how I did it though". Screw these threads.

Maybe I am just bitter today. Maybe I am correct?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Hahaah, no way i'm keeping them secret! W8 a bit, i'll post the presets

EDIT: Done.

Noise Gate1>BassBox>Noise Gate2>6505+>Cabinet with both checkboxes marked (ThisOne.wav)>TC Works Graphic EQ.


Note: I used EMG 81 in bridge and SA in neck and middle. No input gain modified.


See ya!

Only a 80hz-12khz filter to get rid of the fizzyness and the program white noise bursts.

No compressor, no mastering at all.

 

[grywolf627]

Definitely your best guitar sound so far! Nice job. And thanks for the presets!

 

[Splat88]

Thanks for the preset! I've had your song on my desktop for several weeks now and listen all the time. I always wonder how you got Revalver to sound so good. Can't wait to mess with the preset.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

I have to confess i based my tone on KsE's "The End of The Heartache" tone, very balanced tone. Thanks for the replies!

I'll post a new version of the song (final version) in a few moments (update in the first post)

 

[16S]

Listened to your final version yesterday: i think you have a really nice professional sounding mix there. Love the song atmosphere and lead work too

 

[D20]

Great tone and cool song as well! Good stuff!

 

[onqel]

Nice song

 

[Executorg]

Final version is great

Thx for preset. One small question - where you filter 80hz-12khz? In TC Works Graphic EQ? How do it?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Thanks to every1!

Final filter is the Cakewalk Linear Eq LP64

 

[Executorg]

Emmm... may i ask one more thing? (It's really last, i swear )
What instrument/preset you use in hardcore bass? Use EQ or other processing?

I really like you tone, and would like to learn to do the same sound

Thx
