Recording and production.

LOL :cheers:
I'm pretty sure LRT wants it too :LOL:


Okay, both tracks with wah have been boosted 3dB at the 2kHz band:

Noice! At just around a minute in…you can hear the difference…you could probably shift it up to 2.5kHz…but whatever…it sounds better.…maybe push that track(s) up a fraction of a dB…I’m glad I waited for this…
Yep…I’m gonna say…push the wah tracks up a fraction of a dB, and wow….killer track!

Okay, you are the Jedi master here.... I will do promptly and poast once more tonight.

I don't wanna keep you up though lol

Okay Bob Rock, @Thatbastarddon lol

I listened to our last jam "Blow" in my truck, my truck has a nice Bose system in it....and I didn't like what I heard. It sounds alright I guess, using the PA monitors that I've been using to listen back to stuff with, but not in my truck. LRT had some similar complaints when he listened on various speakers and systems, etc...

So I heeded your advice to me in the Friday Riffs thread, and here's what I did:

I played around with the high pass filter and dropped 3dB on all guitar tracks around 100-120Hz and another 3dB at 200-250Hz, then I dropped 4dB out of the 1800kHz range on the bass, finally I dropped the master volume 3.8dB

This is what I have now. It's a subtle, but good, difference on these PA monitors.
Am I on the right track (hehe) here?


I don't like dicking around in the DAW.
LRT and I both run GE-7s in the loops of our amps, could we make similar adjustments there and forego the stuff in the DAW?
I feel like that's what we should be doing. Garbage in, garbage out.......
I think adding bass is what threw us off here, as before, with no bass, instruments weren't clashing to dominate the same frequency ranges.

But I'm no Bob Rock...

Thats some nice work there! mcblink, good sound, well done!

Bass is too loud for me, I would put it down so its just there and if you mute it you notice straight away….

I agree with this….maybe not too low…but it could come down, now that you’ve carved the space for it…it’s not competing with the guitars as much.
I’ve had a chance to play it through a better setup than the earbuds I had in at 1:00am when this was going down, live.

Yes yes
I kinda thought so too.
EQing helped immensely though.
I still think it's a little bit too prominent as well, but sounds way better than the first go I had at it.

Right…you had the bass at a certain level, but the guitars were competing for some of the bass guitar fundamental frequencies. You diminished some of that competition allowing the bass to be heard more…separating it from the guitars further. Now the bass could come down to the level you originally perceived that it needed to be when you started/pre-eq play. In the process, you also created more distinction between the two guitars with the high-mid push on the wah/lead.
I’ve not used the monitors that you have, but they may not produce as much on the low bass frequency spectrum, so you may need to monitor mixes through other systems to avoid too much bass pile up.
