hey louis, thanks! haha i wasn't sure if the tags would turn it into an embedded video or not..once again, you always come through ;D
and michael, thanks for the kind words
basically, i'm running 3 guitars here..left, right, center...all rampage, all through my JCM 2000. left is nothing, just the rampage through the JCM, gain at about 8 and mic'ed with an SM57. right channel, during the riff, is using a Boss OC-3 octave pedal, which is switched off for every other part, and mic'ed with a sennheiser e609. center channel is the same settings, but with the OC3 on the entire time with the sm57
and i hear ya about the lead guitar..only problem is, since it was all improv, i was kinda reluctant to let it SCREAM because of the fact that it's nothing special to me lol so yeah, admittadly i did leave it a little low.
what i use is a tascam 6 channel USB box. it lets me record each track seperately in adobe audition, which is great for me. the lead guitars are stereo left/right witht he SM57 on the left, and 609 on the right.
the drums, actually i cheated a bit...i used 7 mics on the drums (hassle, but i was able to add a 7th mic by running my sm57 into a mixer, then into another USB unit, and recorded THAT track in another program lol, work around since my Tascam only has 6 ports!)...so basically, i did drum replacements on the toms and the snare and kick. although, i only mixed it about 50/50, so that my original tone for every drum still shines through, but that's mixed with a drum replacement clip, which makes the drums much more studio-esque and tight sounding. the 7 mics for the drums were two overheads for stereo overhead, a snare mic, high hat mic, kick mic, two tom mics.
bass on this song was real simple..i just ran my L2000 into a Sansamp Bass Driver DI...had both pickups on, but turned the tone to 0. nice fat tone..this wasn't really a bass song, so it just held the backbone together...but i do like the little run i do during the second verse part on it, i think it sounds neat
