AngelCityOutlaw Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Okay so, two big issues I've had a hell of a time conquering with recording my guitar is latency and a lack of mid range. I have made this little guitar cover of the mute city theme from F Zero GX as an attempt to fix those issues before I return to working on my Remix for the Castlevania remix album. http://soundcloud.com/angelcityoutlaw/f-zero-gx-mute-city-wip-2 How does it sound to you so far? Do the guitars cut through? How is the guitar tone? Also, here is the original version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The bass is extremely high right now, and it's making the track sound muddy even though it might not be in any other sense. Bring up the guitars just a bit, and bring the bass down a lot. You really only want the bass to give presence, not actually be heard while the guitars are playing. I'm also thinking the bass has too much treble, so lower that too. Check the mids level as well on the bass mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see what I can do. and You really only want the bass to give presence, not actually be heard while the guitars are playing. I honestly didn't know that.

timaeus222 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I honestly didn't know that. Yeah, me neither until I took a listen to a bunch of guitar tracks. The bass is what gives guitars the "melt your face off" kind of feel, if done right. It might help more if you organize yourself and look at what frequency ranges you want to use for the guitar and bass. Save a few templates for specific tones, if you want. I haven't done that yet, but it might help you get the same tone each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 http://soundcloud.com/angelcityoutlaw/f-zero-gx-mute-city Well, I tried out your suggestions. It's not perfect, but I'm still proud of it. Sounds better than most of my guitar stuff so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
