GOTGF - axxessdenied - 10-03-2018
Here's my first print of this one. I like the clav in this song
Overall kept it pretty simple. Not too much drastic EQ. Testing out Novaltech Character demo on this track since it's on sale right now. I got creative on the first lead guitar track. Guitars are all VSTs. Bass is Softube.
I didn't really add any effects to the midiguitar track and I think it might need a little more ambience.
Let me know what you think

Hi! Perhaps take the bass guitar down a bit? The 80's drums feel very authentic and sound good. You might want to match the space of vocals with the drums. I am no fan of 'realistic' or coherent space, but the vocals feel a bit dry in comparison. Nice crazy effects with the guitars. I couldn't make any use of the DI guitars, but you certainly managed to make the most out of them. Good work. ^_^

Hi, this is Timo from the band. That's actually a synth solo, not guitar at the start. I like the distortion on the lead vocal! And I like the 80s drum sound; what a great idea!
RE: GOTGF - carlier74 - 10-03-2018
oh, wait, I see what you mean about the guitars. That is quite crazy.
I felt the synth solo right before the guitars needed a little compression; there are volume jumps.

Those 80's drums were fun - really changed the vibe of the song.

I'm glad you guys dig it
I added a little update. Ran the vox and that lead synth through the same reverb as the drums and replaced slate fg-x on my master bus with weiss mm-1 since I noticed Softube updated to Volume 2 and that was included! Probably did a bit of low end control as well. Increased the volume of the lead synth a bit during the solo before the guitars hit as well. I have a panning effect on it that changes the volume of it a bit to add some movement but I dunno if its too much.

The intro sound vaguely reminds me of the classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynIHsHYaig0
