very nice (again)...are you still using the line 6 for the tones? if so, what amp models/effects are you using?

 

[MusicManJP6]

Man, your mixes are top-notch! How do you do it?! I'd personally like to know how you do the drums, bass, guitars, and vocals!

And of course the Luke sounds killer...

that sounds like a studio recording to me, and it's very well done too

 

[Ponch]

yo guys, thanks a lot !

For the mix sorry i can't say much about it, my friend Aub is the one who knows how to mix and stuff. I'm in charge for the music, those bass, guitars & drums (it's Midi i wrote the part in notation note using Logic).

here's my tone port set up, hope it helps:

Stomp :
Effect Model = Classic Distortion, Drive 45 % Gain 31 % Tone 100 %

Amp Model :
'93 Solo 100 Head, Drive 10 Bass 9 Middle 7 Treble 8 Presence 5 Volume 10

Cab Model :
4x12 1996 Brit Celest V-30s

Cab/ER :
421 Dynamic 0%

Aub and me play on the same band thegypsyvan.com , we record and produce our music by our own, some of em jingles and advertising stuff.

I'll post some of our tunes later on .. recently I did for the headline news jingle.. and i guess it's a lil bit guitaresque than normal headline tune..thank God they still like it.

Oh man, you're too kind my friend.

Yes, the drums parts are MIDI, I use the Logic and simply just compose the drum by writing the drums notation with those tiny black dots on staff line. the next move is try to adjust each notes velocity to make it sound more human than MIDI wise.. i don't like those drag drops and stuff 'cause somehow I feel it limits my ideas of groove and patterns.

Then after I wrote the whole parts, the next step is to dissect the drums parts into separate tracks, just like the real recording.. each channel for each drum part (cymblas, hihat, bass drums, snare, etc) maybe you could end up with 8 or more tracks depends on your instrumentation on drums.

For the sound, we using some of software like Drums From Hell (DFH) , Stylus etc, just try and check out which sound that might be suitable for the music style wise. Then we put some extra modulations, like reverb and stuff and mix it.

That's pretty much how we did it, quiet simple but need some extra details though.

hope it helps

cool man, too bad i don't have much skill on producing so I can't say much about its technical details.

 

[JeffreyB]

Maybe I'll let your singer mix my stuff (If I actually ever record anything again)
