    Sonic Generations Album (Its out .)

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    how the heck did you get so many in the first place? followbacks?

    seriously help me out here, I want to know the secret

    Followbacks are really only effective if you have great tracks on cloud,

    thats what some people told me.

    You have to do alot like sharing to multiple groups, following people hoping for follow backs and stuff (though the max is 2000 that you can follow, unfollow people and follow new people for more results incase your slowing down, but like I said people tend to look at your tracks before concidering following you).

    I got 500 follow in like 2 weeks that way

    I have to disagree with this. I have several guitars with different woods and they all sound ridiculously different through distortion. My Les Paul, SG, and Strat (mahogany body) sound a lot thicker and have this huge bump in the mids and sustain really well, especially the two with set necks. I usually have to cut the lows and mids and boost the highs on my amp/eq and sometimes even cut the lows before the amp. My other two Strats and my Luke (alder bodies) have a tighter sound, but not exactly brighter. They just have less mids and lows so it's easier to get chimey clean tones and still get warm, thick distorted tones. My Ibanez RGs (basswood bodies) are snappy as hell and have a very tight bottom with a bump in the higher mids. These do great in music where the guitar needs to cut through a heavy mix. This makes chugging easier because there is less low end to muddy up the distorted tone. I usually crank the bass and mids on the amp and sometimes I'll have to back off the highs or place the microphones at an angle to tame some of the brightness. Plus, basswood bodies are super light!

    Of course, you can rely on the electronics that have the opposite affect of the body woods to get you where you want tonally (bright EMGs on a Les Paul), or you can use electronics to further push you in the same direction (hot and bright DiMarzio Evolutions on an Ibanez RG).

    If you're playing a lot of different styles, clean and dirty, and you want to use just one guitar, I'd recommend either a solid alder body or basswood body with a maple cap, a bolt on maple neck, fretboard of your choice (I like rosewood, birdseye maple, and ebony), stainless steel frets (trust me on this!), and a non-locking tremolo (or a locking tremolo without a recessed cavity). I also recommend a H/S/S configuration. You'll want pickups that aren't specific for one style or another so I'd go with something PAF-like in the bridge (DiMarzio AT-1, Fred, PAF Pro) and some fat single coil-sized humbuckers (to keep things quiet) in the the the other two positions. Maybe a couple of DiMarzio Cruisers (fat Strat sound), or a Chopper (higher output, more mids) in the neck, Cruiser in the middle.

    You read my mind, curse you.

    well you read my mind up until you said the pick config, I prefer H/S, but I do also like H/S/S. my 2 favorite pickup config :)

    I love a all (body and neck&fretboard) maple guitar or a alder body maple neck combo, I feel like I get nice mid ranges, they sound so bright and mean like....GrRRRR, I also like a alder and maple neck/rosewood fretboard, it has a like a high mid dominent sound just like maple. thought it does depend on the quality of wood though.

    If you looking for a bright 80s/90sglam/hair rich mid range tone (like I aim for) you would lean towards maple, alder, rose wood etc.. if your looking for a darker tone then ebony, (I think) bass wood etc.. and electronics and amp also balance out in factors of what tone your looking for.

    Theres a huge thread about this shit in one of the ultimate metal fourms, I just cant remeber.

    but check out fishys links too.

    Nice, I like the theming here. It's so warm and sunsetty. Do you have any tips for getting a piano sample to sound like yours? I've tried to make a sharp piano sound like that before but it never seems to work.

    Eq boost the 2000hz to (notch appropriatly) and cut unwanted boxy frequencies that hangout around the 200-400hz area.

    I use garritans orcha piano, I really like the steineberg grandpiano sound the best. I heard good things anout NI's alicia's key's but its 60gb or something to the knee.

    also high quality/good sounding reverb can also form as sound as well like it does to a drum. I use 2cAther verb (impulse based)

    Somehow this post doesn't make any sense to me.

    Reverb for glue, depth perception and sparkle - I'm okay with that.

    But adding low end and highs ?? And more mids ? Normally one would treat that with an eq and only add reverb to place things better in the mix, or if the signal source is rubbish to bury it behind other stuff. Can you explain a bit more what you want to achieve ?

    Hello!

    By adding a roomy effect, It lets me add more high and low end for me. But Im tring to use reverb toward the mid ranges, but I think I can use filters to make it only usefull in the midranges

    Bloody hell. This was interesting man! Loved the little plucky harp arpeggios.

    You still looking for a bassist? My roommate is a bassist in a band, knows his way around recording and in Logic Pro too - If you're interested I could ask him to contact you - you tell him what to play and he can record it and send forth, by the powers of the internet, a nice mp3 or wav file of what you're looking for.

    Jaa?

    YEA!

    I would actually love a improve, or anything.
