Armin Van Buuren & Andrew Rayel Feat. Sharon Del Adel - In And Out Of Intense (Andrew Rayel Mashup)

Got a break from work and tracked this cover.

As you can notice by listening to the original track, Edge's guitar is panned hard left basically for the whole track...So I removed the left channel and used the right one as a backing track, then added my own guitars on top.

Gear used: Ibanez Artcore AFS75 >> Axe Fx 2 >> Pro Tools

On the Axe Fx 2: some drive with the  FET boost >> digital delay >> Vox AC30 amp sim

Added some shimmer for the intro and a touch of phasing for the break after the first chorus.

Added a hint of compression (needle barely moving on the LA3A, just because we can...) and some reverb, then bounced from Pro Tools as it was. No further processing was applied.

I don’t own any right on this song. No copyright infringement is intended. All the copyright goes to the respective owners.

U2 - Inside A Volcano

Spent some time with the album version today. If compared to the live version, there are some differences in both sounds and playing. Pretty cool, indeed.

Used a pretty basic setup and 2 main sounds:

Explorer 50th >> DD20 >> AC30 for "sound 1" (main riff, verses...)
Added the Paisley Drive to get a clean boost for "sound 2" (solo, outro...). Main drive comes from the amp itself.

For the clean sounds you hear during verses I simply backed off the volume of the guitar just a tad.

Added some reverb with my trusty EMT140 and automated a resonant LP filter for the main riff right after the solo and that's it for the post production.
No EQ. compression or other special effects have been added.

I just played with levels and pans VERY roughly (far from being mixed). What you hear is what was coming from the amp itself.

U2 - End Of The World

U2 End of the world - main riff dry

Quick run thru my main preset on the Axe Fx 2. 

Fx Chain:
-sdd preamp
-delay
-amp1: ac30 tb (main amp - vox1)
-amp2: ac30 tb (additional amp - voxinabox "style" - very low in volume - dry signal only)
-touch of room reverb

Guitar is my main 70s Strat.

Of course the original guitar has been removed from the tracks. I ripped them from the DVD and then edited them myself to make the backings.

No post processing added. maybe it sounds a bit too much overdriven, but i think it's closer to the Slane sound.
