I listened to the first song and did enjoy it. Everything sounds nice and clear. I’m really digging that guitar tone, Great job.

The tone is pretty much my 5150 send jack to the interface and then I add impulses. It works great!

A real 5150 head, it sounds really good.

Now, willing to record vocals over it? I have a newer better mix. Screaming and singing?

I guarantee you would sound better than anything coming from these vocal chords! Singings not my thing, anyway what impulses did you use?

I use GuitarHack’s impulses. Two hard left and right. I try to get one that has more mid and one with more high to balance it out. It works great!

I use GuitarHack’s impulses.

That’s what I was thinkin’ you might be using, they sound really good. I’m just starting to experiment with blending in different IRs instead of just using one like you were saying.

I think they are worlds better than recording with a line 6. At least my tone is a real 5150 and not a emulator. It also makes it easier on the processor when you use the send out on your amp rather then an insert in you DAW.

Depending on the sound you’re going from the mix feels a touch thin, or lacking some warmth, also the guitar tone is nice but being honest, are you sure you’re not mixing them a touch favourably i.e. they are a touch loud…. also some of the snap from the snare is missing especially in the more built up parts of the track, perhaps carving a little notch of EQ for it’s attack and then maybe a small amount of sidechaining on the rhythm guitars from the snare….

p.s. please work on the tuning of your bends on the lead work, it really detracts from what otherwise sounds pretty cool.

Volitian, how would you make the tone warmer and not so thin? And I agree on the guitars being too loud.

It depends on the approach, subtractive EQ’ing the parts which are too bright might help the mix overall, however I would suggest looking at the lower mid-range around 200-500hz, there’s a lot of mud to be found round there unfortunately but the warmth comes from that range (assuming the mix isn’t overly unbalanced to another freq set) other tricks like using analogue tape plugins etc might help just add subtle character.
