[metal] Howling Forest ft. Blast Beat

[EpiPony 32]

This is one of my older songs, but recreated!

I hit up my homeboy Blast Beat and rerecorded this song i wrote when i first started out with music in the community. All credits on the vocals and lyrics go to Blast Beat (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-fyMu96LDgqOkbHd28e9Bg)

 

Check it out!

This song is solid, sweet rhythm, the drums are so clear, the death vocals are pretty mint and on top of that the mix is great! 

 

Man this is one hell of a tune if you ask me, i especially loved some of the effects on the guitar plus the slight reverb and delay you had going the whole time, sat so well. Not to mention those triplets are rad.

 

I might be wrong but it sounds like you recorded through a DI in this. If thats the case was plugins are you using?. If its not DI......... then im an idiot

 

The only thing i would say is i personally would like the song to have a bit more presence but thats just me. 

 

Anyway sick track dude!

Hey man, thanks for the reply!

 

I did indeed record DI, no amp or cab involved haha. I do have hardware for guitar so not 100% plugins though. 

 

I use a Zoom G3X for everything guitar related (i like the overdrives and amp sims better than the ones in plugins so far. Also has that cool auto-wah for the clean bit haha), with redwirez cab impulses loaded in the VST leCab by lepou (they sound hella better than the built in impulses in the zoom). 

After that the delay and reverb on the leads were done with peavey's ReValver III.V. 

For bass i went completely off of plugins though. I use ReValver's 6505 model (very high gain), together with a clean DI. 

Both guitars and bass were post-eq'd with the native reaper plugins.

Not sure how the vox were recorded, blast beat did those . I did process those with iZotope Nectar though.

I do agree with the presence, could have been a bit brighter but i couldn't make it work. For some reason it felt less powerful.

 

Well at least that's how i do it haha. Hope i answered your questions about the plugins :3

Better set up than i have i havn't used the zooms yet but my friend got one not long ago and he seems to love it plus anything Redwirez is good  .

Iv been thinking about getting a bunch of iZotope stuff as well, maybe like the Ozone 5..... if i can afford the bloody thing   but yeah, you've mentioned a few things im not familiar with so now im going to go and sus them all out lol. Cheers for the detailed set up reply man.

Haha no problem man, i love talking gear (even though it's a pretty cheap setup I have lol. Money's a bitch at times)

I do use iZotope Ozone actually, for mastering. Personally I really like it, it's on every one of my songs, sometimes multiple times for like post-post-processing haha.

It's probably one of my most used plugins, together with addictive drums and reValver.
