  • How to get that big guitar sound?

    Hi all,


    Things that seem to work for me are:


    1. As mentioned before, lower you're gain!


    2. Cut off the low and high frequencies. Depends on you're guitar and bass sound.
    For the low frequencies I do it around 80-130 and for the high frequencies I cut around 8000-13000


    3. Use some compression (Waves SSL, Fabric-C are great ones but there are tons of others aswell.)


    4. I usually tend not to pan guitars HARD left or right (depends a lot on the content). I usually save the stereo fields wide angles for fx.
    Let's say you're recording you're left channel guitar, I'd pan it left (if panning is from 0 to 100) 40-75 and another on right 15-35)
    This gives you nice stereo effect on one guitar track. Then I would do the same for right channel guitars. It all varies ;)


    Oh, and a good tip is to try to keep you're mix between 9 to 15 o'clock


    5. Use reverb








    Here's a little sample of a song I'm working. Don't mind my sloppy playing at some parts ;) I intend to re-do all the tracks.

  • Till´s Chimera Pack ( Till Schleicher )

    Hi guys,


    I bought the Chimera pack quite a while ago. I've been using it for everything I do, recording and also playing live trough my PA-system. They do sound great! How ever I feel that some documentation of the profiles and mic's used would have been nice to have. Nevertheless, it's a great package and worth every penny. Thanks for them :)


    I'll share my band song that's still work in progress. All the guitars are recorded with Till's Chimera pack. Don't mind my sloppy playing ;) I will definitely re-record all the guitars!
