New Song semidjentdeathsomethin / (contains Superior MF/AxeFX/BKP)

[Dirk Möbius]

Hi forum ,

long time ago i posted a song here … not that anyone missed me

last month i thougt i could redo some of my patches (Superior/Axe/DAW) and check them out with some new songs …

the first of this songs is called Disorder and you can listen to it here –> http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=10883443&q=hi&newref=1

this is my setup i used for this song

Git: Ibanez 1527/w Aftermath in Bridge
Bass: Stagg 5-Stringer
Drums: Superior MF /w Avatar Snr

there was a little post production on the drums but not realy much … the most is done in the Superior mixer it self … it was multitracked out to DAW as always … NO parallel compression … NO grp compression out of Superior … everything you hear is native …

you can listen to the single tracks (and if you need to … download an AxeFX patch) in this thread –> http://forum.fractalaudio.com/recordings/39240-thrashdjentgroovycore-bkp-aftermath-superior-axefx-ultra-restzeit.html <-- and if you want i put a *.s20 in this thread too
I hope you enjoy the song and leave a statement and don t hesitate to ask if you wanna know something or insult me with critix if the song sucks … or whaterver …

i d realy like to know what you think … so maybe i could do better next time

Greatz M

I dig it.
Your playing is good. The tone is good.
I dig the kit sound that your using.
I also really like the special effects you used during the breaks, etc (speed up, slow down, (maybe) reverse?).
The mix might be a little loud – but that’s just my taste.
It sounds good – I’m just one of those nerds who says “let the listener use the volume knob.”
Again – just my taste.
You did a good job.
I plan on DLing that patch for my AxeFX Ultra, too.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Take care

Scott

Hi Scott,

Sorry to play devils advocate but…

Out of interest, what constitutes a mix which is borderline too loud?

How are you judging the volume, and what’s negative about it in your opinion?

@ Monsterhulk, there’s some really cool riffs and song structures going on there, it’s a touch muddy. I think the guitars (or maybe the mix) could do with some refinement and perhaps a bit more of a stereo image to the mix, also are you using dbglitch for those effects by any chance?

If you are, i’d thoroughly recommend Izotope stutter, it saved us a lot of headache in the long run as you can use a midi input to control the changes.

Kind regards

Actually sorry slight amendment, it seems that the stereo imaging seems to be hidden a bit more in the high freq ranges, when those are accentuated the mix opens up more.

Kind regards

Thanks for censorship??

Hi guyz

and thx for those realy qualified posts and this discussion you started with my post …

it is a realy shame to see that this was deleted … neither me was insulted nor i had a thing to complain about your discussion

i am not a supporter of the loudness war but of course i have tried to get a good balanced level of loudness out of that mix …

i think nowadays everyone is tryin to get a big amount of loudness but i am sure i was beyond clippin … it was interesting to see
the mix as a wave cause i always try to analyze by ear and not by eye … but i realy appreciate the effort of scott doing the wavegraph
and i was also realy curious bout the progress of the discussion you both had

why was it censored away ?? did it harm to anyone ??

i d realy like to see more of this kinds of comments and discussions cause everyone benefits from this i think

so please … do not censor threads if the are valuable

Greatz M

Hi Monsterhulk,

I genuinely don’t want to sound snidey towards scott or toontrack that’s not my aim, but I do appreciate you chipping in, I was beginning to think I was going a tad crazier than normal hehe.

The OP has spoken?

Kind regards
