D20 – The Game of Life (Axe-Fx, S2.0, Redwirez)

[Coryd]

Just recorded a little idea i have been toying with. Its still very unfinished and still in the idea phase. I used the Avatar S2.0 kit for this one with the Piccolo snare. All guitars and bass were recorded through my Axe Fx using a Recto sim and a 5150 sim.

Hope you enjoy!!!

I really enjoyed that!
That Axe FX seems to be the cat’s meow.
The whole recording sounds great to me.

Yes, indeed.
I can definitely get into it.
It has that mid-scooped type of sound goin’ on with the mix – and it works well.
Thanks a lot for sharing it with us!

No problem Scott! 

I just started tracking my first solo album and this is probably going to be one of the songs on it.
I’m super excited with the drum tones i have been getting!

That sounds totally killer in every aspect. How did we ever live without our axe fx’s? Did you actually manually double the rhy guitars or just copy and offset a single track? Whatever you did, I would keep on doing it.

Many thanks for the compliments Chuck!!!
Yeah i don’t know what i would do without my Axe Fx and my Superior Drummer 2.0!!!!!
For this track i did two guitar takes. One was with a Recto sim and then i tracked the other with a 5150 sim.

That sounds wonderful!

Can you give more details on the drums? Any special plugins or mixer settings??

[theboyfromsarasota]

Perfect amount of gain for the riff. For the tremolo effect…is that Axe or an automated pan in your DAW…has to be from the Axe right?

The drums were all Avatar. Piccolo snare and clear toms. I did all of the processing within Cubase actually after i bounced down the drums.

Thanks Chuck!

The tremolo effect is actually the tremolo plugin that comes with Cubase 🙂

Damn…that tremelo sounds great. Is there a similar effect in logic that you know of? I have not been able to find one.

I’m not too familiar with Logic, but i’m sure there is probably something you could get it with.

Does Logic have a Tremolo plugin? If so, i’m sure you could probably get the same sound. 🙂

I just gave the tune another listen – still rawks!
So you bounced all the drums, and then processed them in Cubase?
Did you use any of the effects within S2 – or did you bounce them kind of “as-is”
Whatever the case – they sound really good – even on these little speakers I have on my secondary computer
Take care

Thanks a bunch Scott!!!
I pretty much bounce them as is. The only real processing that i do within S2.0 is a bit with the “Envelope”, “Pitch”, and then just mixing some of the levels differently. Other than that it is entirely processed within Cubase.

Thanks again for taking another listen as well!
