New Zombi! Wasn't expecting guitar on a Zombi album but it's growing on me. Def more 70's 80's prog rock now.

Lol. Thanks guys!

We did this with our friends in Mallorca, Aeolian. Me in vocals, our drummer Ville did the drums, the spanish guys the rest! Guitars are Kemper of course.

I may be in the minority here, but I've always found profiles made by others lacking in some way. So I went the route of really spending time and effort profiling my own amp. Heck, no one knows your own preferences better than yourself, so you can really dig on to the smallest details. After a couple years I have two or three my own profiles that I use over anything else. ?

I am not sure how we would be able to quantify the percentage of cab, mic vs the amplifier when it comes to overall sound. But for sure people often underestimate how important cabs, speakers, mics are.
Yes I was being completely serious and scientific with the figure.
But the difference between a Diezel Herbert and an Orange Rockerverb with the same cab and guitar in a full band mix was almost imperceptible in my experience, when swapping back and forth between amps.

What I've been saying for decades already.
Cab makes 90% of the sound.

Most demos are put through a mastering limiter, which will affect the dynamics and overall tone.
You can A/B test this by putting something like a Waves L2 on a separate track, limit that heavily and match the volume on the uncompressed track.

You're getting the best possible sound out that way. If you don't want to use your speakers for music, mixing etc. that would need a recording interface between your computer and Kemper then go ahead.

Matamp makes a vertical 212. Very good cabs made in the UK.

Welcome!

Here's another one. Same guy. Charlie Robbins.
Sounds like he's mixing djent with flamenco which is pretty cool.

Thanks for writing. I will try the eq change.
As for my monitors, they are about 1 foot below my head level, but aimed at my head. I'd need to buy a new desk if I were to elevate them more as there is a shelf that blocks them from being raised. I am using rubber door stoppers under them to angle them toward my head. If I lower my chair though, where I am directly level with them, there isn't a big difference.
If I'm reading this right they're on the table, not raised off it? That will definitely give you some excessive low end reflection from the surface even if you angle them slightly. I'd recommend getting something like these to separate them from the table:

The tweeter should be at ear level on those.
You can try and see how much of a difference this would make, if you position your speakers on the edge of the table, so there's no table surface in front of the speaker.
-
Also a quick fix to remove mud is cut low mids around 300hz. But first, are your monitors elevated and aimed off the table? Preferably on iso pads as well. You might be hearing table reflections that cause a boomy/muddy sound.

The trick to getting huge pro sounding guitars is focusing on getting a good drum and bass sound.
But seriously, if your foundation sounds thin and wimpy, so will everything else by association.
And get your stuff mastered by a pro studio!

Never listened to this before. It's actually pretty great in a 'Priest way. Doesn't sound like glam to me at all, pure heavy metal.
Sure doesn't sound like Vulgar Display era Pantera.

Percussion for our next album.
