hey david!thanks for listening and commenting.
good ears...
i've gone back and tweaked this quite a bit..
i think the low end has opened up, like you say, less roll off, more level, and dips in certain freq's that are just muddy.
this drum track was created in ACID at a friend's studio, i don't have access to edit it again, so i'm more or less stuck with it.
you know, it's an obvious thing sometimes, to mix guitars too hot, when you're highlighting the guitar, i tend to like to mix for the whole....
almost as if i want everything to blend and work together...
i did go back and automate some level changes on certain passages of the guitar, that just happen to drop in vol because of frequencies or whatever...
on this one, especially the 2nd half, the guitar kind of floats on top of the timing...
i'll tell you, the DDSS really helps the solo voice sing.
this is the guitar i used for this one:
hobbyist-
thanks for listening, i appreciate it!
you got the visuals for sure..... i mean, it's one of those things where you're allowed to create your own interpretation, so that's cool....
the picture is not showing my settings for this song....
it was taken at a later date...
and just so you'll know, as far as my recordings go, those knobs never sit in the same spot.
i change them song by song, and track by track.
i have no settings that are 'the' settings.
typically, i've got the harmonics dialed back, because i get so much off the amp the way i'm running it.
i use the SS as a grind generator, and a EQ of sorts....
with the boogie, and it's 'built in governor', i can't push the level into the lead channel without simply choking it.
now, on the clean channel, with the DDSS (which i've started using a lot more of) i can push it maxed out, and it only gets better.
so, i match the use of the SS with the amp setup..... and i just twist them knobs til i hear and feel what i want.
they work great!
