Metal Song with Ola´s Hector Profile

Hi guys,

finished a new Demo yesterday night using Ola´s awesome Hector profiles.

Link

No EQ or FX added to the guitar tracks, only Kemper.

Guitar used: ESP M-II Custom with EMG81 Pickup.
Drums: Superior Drummer

I think, for a quick demo it sounds fantastic. This box has such a great potential...

Cheers, Sascha

Ola... Thank you for the rig

Hi, well hard to give any tips. I also found myself that some rigs sound very different at different places.

I opened a thread for that because for me it is also quiet impossible to achieve the sound of the samples that are posted here. Quiet a common problem in my eyes.

I think the KPA reacts pretty heavily to the a) input sensitivity b) to the actual guitar and even more the pickups.
I feel, it is way more than a real amp would do.

For example, i have an Ibanez JEM 7v. A really excellent guitar. Tried it out with a couple of rigs and did not like a single one.
Took my M-II with the EMG´s andd it was a whole different story.

So i would definately try out various Gits if available.

My recording process is as follows:

Sequencer: Samplitude X
KPA Out: Spdif
Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 (Excellent!!)

For those kinds of Demos i always record three guitar tracks. One hard left, one hard right, one center.

Oh... BTW: I adjusted the Masrter EQ of the Kemper slightly. Approx: Bass +2, Mid:+0,4, Treb: +2,1, Presence: +1

For the recordings the Distortion pedal which is also storded in the rig was turned on.

Hope that helps...

But again: To me, the guitar with the EMG81 make the difference in sound. Taking another guitar it would sound aweful...
