Young Griffo "Facade" by Blitzzz

[wesleyamltd]

Hello,

I really had trouble to make the distorted guitars in the chorus sound "right". The problem is: It seems like the guitar player recorded one DI-Track and reamped it with two different amps and two mics. Its fine to have 4 different guitars sounds but in the end it is still only one guitar track. All the richness of a double or even quad tracked guitar riff is missing. No matter what i did the guitar riff in the chorus still sounds like one track which has been copied and panned left/right. Big Mono if you wish. Not cool. I also tried the old haas trick but I couldn't make it sound like the way I wanted it so sound. I was very, very close to grab my guitar and record a second track myself =)

Other then that I tried to work with different reverb and delays to give each part of the song a different feel. I`ve also added a kick sample to give the kickdrum just a little bit more "bite" without EQ'ing it to death.

I know its been a while for you and this song, however if you had expanded the clip you would have noticed that the wave forms on most of the guitars were identical. The grts for this song were only the tip of the iceberg in regards to issues. I first tried only using the guitar signals that were obviously different in wave form and making some dirty little adjustments with not much pay off, but then I decided after reading the article having already mixed the song to borrow adjacent guitar part via copy/paste. No haas effect, usually the haas fx sounds exactly like two same parts chorused together. The first mix you did was dark and dry, the second was an improvement, but this song is like putting an old whore in a new dress. (no emoticon)
