i'd say a year and half i wrote this song. i figured id post it. its pretty much in the state that it was at at that time, except i panned a few things out, added a little high shelf and a high pass filter on a few tracks, and fixed some volume issues. same vocal sound, guitar sound, drum sound... just a little cleaning up. here's a little treat from the past that I'll finally share.

Softness

Added a couple layers and toned the extreme double bass to regular 16th rather 16th triplets. New drum parts just to make things more interesting. Not part of a song. Just a test. I may write a song with these settings though. It sounds great!

New Guitar Tone and New Drum Mix (Updated)

Ive had my Axe FX for a couple of months now, but I haven't had a crazy amount of time do some tests. Here's your typical metal test from an Axe FX!

Schecter C1 Artist Limited Edition w/ Bareknuckle Aftermaths > Axe Fx II XL INSTRUMENT to SPDIF OUT > Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 SPDIF IN > Studio One 2

Axe Fx II XL V18 Low Tune Test

Here I have a 100% sample free mix that I quickly demoed with a super simple guitar and bass track. I'm using my Schecter c1 artist for guitars, and my Ibanez sr1300e premium for bass. Best drum sound I've gotten so far. Ending is sloppy as hell. Don't care.

Drum Mix 6 Second Loop

A buddy of mine came to track some sample drum grooves to play around with and this dude is insane. Very light processing done to it. No compression except on the room mic (of course) and mix buss. Super excited to work with him. Thanks Jai for the help!

Jai Scott Session W/ Light Processing

Bought the Steven Slate Everything Bundle. Decided to remix the drum track from my previous post and went a little further with processing and man is it easy to intuitive to use! First are the raw tracks and second is the processed mix. Ready to mix a song with these exclusively. More to come!

Jai Scott Session Before And After (Complete So Far)

Bought New heads for my Ludwig Hybrid 14 x 8 Snare and it made a huge difference. This is the most boring drum beat ever and it was time aligned to sounds good and I used the best hits from the snare to make It more consistent as I'm not too consistent of a drummer. or that good lol. But yeah check it out! Getting some very punchy sounds out of it!

New Heads Test

Eric McElhannon. that is all.

work in progress.

Broken Dreamer

This is rough. The song is complete. but heres a preview of whats recorded right now. everything is rough for now.

I See Pretty Girls (Everywhere I Go)

This song will question everything you've ever thought as true. A warning: This is not for you. This is for Opie. You know who you are.

Ode to Opie

GOT NEW MICS>
Check it out. Did some quick mixing to it, but not much. More to come soon!

Audix Dp7 Test

Big upgrade to the Antelope Audio Discrete 8 Synergy Core. It's never felt so easy to get punchy,  lively drums. I'm very happy with the first test. I'll probably write a demo song soon to showcase the interface and to demonstrate my mixes.
