New Warm Chord Music single recorded with all Choptones guitar profiles

warmchordmusic · Jan 27th 2016

Hey guys, the new single from my solo project, Warm Chord Music is called "Escape This Place" and it features all Choptones Kemper profiles. For the rhythm guitars, I used the Dual Rec, and the Custom Audio/Surh Peter Thorne amp. The Custom Audio profiles are crazy flexible and could be used for anything, but profile 110 was especially great for this song, which a mix between Pennywise and maybe some old school thrash metal. The bass sound is a mix of DI and an Ampeg SVT profile from Amp Factory. The lead guitar was also from Choptones, and I believe it was was from the Marshall SLX bundle. I provided a sound cloud link, as well as band camp for purchasing (if you dig it).

If you could be so kind to help me get some subscribers going for my new channel, that would be awesome. I'm planning on posting some videos of the kemper profiles I use and reviewing various bundles I own, in addition to the recording chain I use with them.

Top effort, Jay!

Well done on the mixing too, mate.

Mike's solo is so fitting and well constructed, it seems almost too good for punk rock.

Thanks Nicky! Yeah, my sound is inching closer and closer to old school thrash/metal. These three songs I'm finishing up are more punk sounding due to the pace/feel, but the other stuff I'm working on is a little different. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

I really liked the bass tone. How did you record the bass DI if I may ask? Was it thru the Kemper or did you use a separate DI box? And what interface?

Again, well done!

Hey no worries, man.

I forgot to mention that I thought the energy level of the rhythm guitar was great; it really sounded like it was pushing some serious air. Fantastic!

Thanks very much for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

The bass DI was recorded using the DI out from the kemper and directly into a motu interface. I then threw the Waves JJP bass plugin on it for some character and attack. I just like the way that plugin sounds. The dirty bass track has the Waves CLA Bass plugin on it with some additional dirt and mild compression and chorus. Chorus can really help the bass stick out in a mix.

The nice thing about the rhythm guitars is that it's only two tracks. A lot of bands these days are quad tracking guitars to make them sound bigger, but the goal of this mix was to have it sound raw, but with enough modern production to sound current.
