erfmufn Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Had a muck about last night with my guitars. Last few tracks have been very electronic so its good to get back to the steel strings Bass, acoustic and the Les Paul get a workout on this one. Quick n simple mix but I like to share with the board. cheers d http://www.dylan.dragnet.com.au/lesystem.jpg http://www.dylan.dragnet.com.au/Le%20System%201.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draw the Moral Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Cool chords! I like the lead sound in background. This just me, but I'd love the hear your main guitar sound do a fuller sweep in the frequency spectrum. Also, your bass could have a little more ceiling so it's not so muddled. I like your gated synth sound. It sounds like the mids have been scooped out of your mix a little bit. I think it would sound better with some mids put back in there on the lead instruments. That's a saucy lead. I think it could stand to come up in the mix a little. Cool song dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub-D Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Funky tune man, I thought the second guitar playing the melodic figure had a little too a long of a verb tail, sounded like you were going for a james bond kind of thing with that line, maybe a real spikey tremolo would be cool? A real entertaining listen from start to finish had a soundtrack vibe to it. From your screenshot I see we gravitate to the same colors for files...I almost always use the same colors for certain instruments...strange habit, but I definitely have always had a synaesthesia experience with music with pitches and keys, so I try and get the color of the track to suit the sound...crazy...... c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erfmufn Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it and will take all of those suggestions on board! sub-d, heh funny you say that.. it just seems natural to me to make bass brown and drums orange/yellow. But I think I was just being semantic when I made the organ parts black and the lead electric a fire-engine red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeestar Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Cool 8) .. what did you use for the guitar FX ??? external or plugins ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erfmufn Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks Guitar is recorded clean, all effects in Logic played/recorded with software monitoring on. (Motu 828 I/O) I used fuzz wah for the rhythm, a clean virtual amp for the "upstroke" rhythm for some texture, space designer for the first leads, and a virtual amp with a logic distortion preset for the wailing lead at the end.
