Serpent Sun Mxr Boost

3rd Mixing/Mastering Attempt.  Getting better.  I think.:)

MixTestRiffsnDrums3rdMaster

Here's a version I remixed for Soundcloud.  I raised the volume of the leads a little and also shifted the mids focus upwards and added a little presence in the 3.5k-4khz region in the rhythm guitars.  It sounded fine without all of those adjustments in my car...

So You Die (mixed/mastered for Soundcloud)

Quick demo of my new 6505 head.  Really loving the tone...:)
This is sort of a medley of riffs -- first one is a compilation of my typical warmup riffs, and I added a few lead bits here and there.

Second part is a Blut Aus Nord cover -- going to complete that one someday.

Last part is obviously an Entombed cover -- "Drowned."  Used my HM-2 with that one, obviously. 

Enjoy!

Mix 1/Master 1 1/25/17

6505

Here's a cover I did of one of the finest black metal songs ever composed:  On The Way To Vigrid -- originally by Blut Aus Nord.  This is somewhat of an obscure song, as it came off Vindsval's first album that he recorded by himself (all instruments) when he was I believe only 16 back in the early 90s.  I would have done vocals too, but lyrics were never printed and I can't decipher the words on the original recording, haha.  Anyway, enjoy this epic tune -- hopefully I've done some justice to it. 

Master 2 4/15/17

On The Way To Vigrid

Second mix -- this time a little less pumping from overcompression -- hopefully.  And this is a bit more of the song too.  Enjoy!

Notes:  Less compression on master fader, vocals raised, re-EQ'd vox and guitars.

Ur Avgrunden Han Stiger -- Mix 2

V. 8/2/18

All guitar sounds recorded with an EVH 5150 III 50-watt head, 4 X 12 cab w/ Eminence Swamp Thangs and Governors mic'd with a GLS ES-57.  Mix is about 50/50 Swamp Thang/Governor.  

All heavy rhythms and tremelo-picked riffs were played on the red channel, unboosted, with an MXR 10-band EQ in the effects loop;  Guitars used were a Schecter V1 w/ SD Nazgul in the bridge and Ltd FX Explorer w/ SD Black Winter set.  Rhythms are quad-tracked; about 50% Nazgul/50% BW bridge.

 Leads were played on the blue channel, boosted w/ an MXR M77 OD and 10-band EQ in the loop, and TC Electronic Hall of Fame II reverb. 

Clean arpeggios, chords, and swells, and other random noises were played on the green channel, using a variety of tones from both a TC Electronic Hall of Fame II and EQD Afterneath for reverb.

Bass was recorded DI w/ amp and cab sims.  Nothing special there.  This is black metal, haha.
