odg_productions Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'd not overdo the mids as it makes the guitar sound tinny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunarfall Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Well yeah, only a slight mid boost should be needed at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 You should ideally (as stated before) record with a pretty even EQ, and then do post EQ work. Why are we still discussing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplAdamB Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've blown people away with the crunch I could get off their rigs that have shitty Gain/Saturation, and the only way to that is to scoop the mids (reduce them to at least a quarter less than Bass and Treble). It doesn't make stuff sound better, it actually kills some of the fullness, but as a fan of crunch Low mid = crunch. Unless your gain/saturation is made for metal, scooping mids will give you better palm mute - down picking crunch. oh yeah, I almost always record guitar parts with pre eq's but everything else flat and post eq it. When in doubt, always post EQ on mastering. Sorry I'm so late to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarretGraves Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Actually, using the Gearbox, I have a setting where the mids are turned all the way up! Post EQ i used a parametric EQ and gave it a boost at around 200hz by about 12db. (if im reading Audition correctly) I got some great crunch out of it.

Legion303 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 To kill mud, drop frequencies around 300Hz. To get a Slayer sound, do what they do: kill all the bass frequencies in the guitars. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
