Super Heavy Riff | Mixed two different ways

Geraldo7 · Nov 28th 2014

What do you think? One version of this work in progress has a mix of live amp/profiled amp while one version has only few not so important real tracks.
I recorded 4 tracks simutanoeusly and replaced the real amp, my boosted plexi, with my best profile. So, i am sure you can decide which one sounds better or different.
but which one is which????? I am curious, because this could become important for at least my personal recordings, maybe for even more ... Here we go.

Which one is "better" e.g. is fuller or more in the room, or whatever you might call it? in order to answer this, it is enough to hear the first 30 seconds, i guess. this for the lazy.

Post scriptum: I forgot to tell:: i would like @MitchMalloy to sing on this, while @Lance-a-not should play the solo. Cheers

mp3 comp kills parts of the dynamic , but I prefer2. I also like 1 for the vintage sabbath tone

Hi,

I think there are some problems with phase

Stay Metal!

Yes!

Thanks for commenting. I - for the love of god - could not hear the phasing. Yes, you are right, one of the tracks is out of phase.
Since i do not hear it, it does not bother me, what can i do?
I like the one with the real amp a lot more and i can hear THIS in any blindfoldtest. It comes down to what are training your ears to here, i guess.

Michael_dk · Nov 29th 2014

Do you make sure to level the tracks in your blinded tests? So they are EXACTLY the same level?

EPIC FAIL on my side. EPIC! I lost in a blindfold test an picked number 2 as the smoother and better one.

You're not the first one to do this, nor the last

Don't worry.

Yeah, be happy with your screw-ups - you're much less likely to do them again. There's just no substitute for direct experience

MitchMalloy · Dec 19th 2014

It's good to be wanted.

Michael is dead right here. I'm no professional by all means but Ive found my mixes are improving all the time but this is only because I'm hands on all the time and always trying to beat my previous mix. Geraldo7 keep going buddy all experience will help you improve. Keep watching, reading and practising and you will see you mixes get better and better every time

I'd say #2 but either way that riff rocks, I'd annoy my neighbors all day with that one!

I have forgotten to make notes and now i do not know which one is which, but i also prefer 2 after a break of listening. @Evil_Mopars You have saved my day.
I have returned from the hospital (surgery) and - after all those comments about phase and so on - had almost lost interest in this. but wtf, this rocks ...
thx for commenting and cheering up my mood a bit.
I think left channel is my plexi boosted with a RC and the new bogner burnley pedal, a monster piece. and a britt divided profile on the right, i still think that a mix of
"real" amp with profile can sound monster.

cheers, by the way good lucky devil me: my only neighbour is a couple of 80, is watchin telly 10 hours a day and does not here me most of the time.
