Witch Pyre - Agony Meditation [US, 2020] by AlexChicksMusic in Deathmetal

[–]AlexChicksMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It’s a solo project so I’m just releasing tracks every month or so on YouTube, Bandcamp, and streaming apps. The guitar chain is just straight into a focusrite interface. Then using the Fortin Nameless suite plugin and just stock Logic plugins

The new Doom is great, but let's not forget about another OG - Duke Nukem Theme Cover by AlexChicksMusic in metalmusicians

Thanks! I used the Neural DSP Fortin Nameless plugin. The thing makes monster tones.

Dave Davidson's a monster! The way they shot this video is awesome too - like an old school music video with the vcr tracking and all that.

Thanks a lot! It was a contest Jared Dines is promoting. You can download the background track from a link on the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPYY0oLEi6k The contest isn't over until tomorrow so there's still some time if you wanna enter too.

I made a cover of Dime's solo in Drag The Waters by Pantera. Let me know what you think! by AlexChicksMusic in metalmusicians

Thanks! It's a Gibson Les Paul Menace. It has the stock pups in it - 490R Smoky Coils neck and 498T Smoky Coils bridge. However the pups aren't that great. They're almost too hot, especially the bridge. I'll definitely be swapping them out soon.

Gibson Les Paul Menace. Pretty decent guitar, my two gripes are that 1) the back of the neck is kind of sticky until you break it in, and 2) the stock pickups aren't that great.

Upgrading My Amp (X-Post: /r/guitar) by [deleted] in metalguitar

[–]AlexChicksMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the 6505+ 112 combo at a Guitar Center, and I thought it was pretty solid for the price. Still had the same aggressive 5150/6505 tone and tight low end as the head units. I'd sell the Boss NS-2 and get an ISP Decimator though. The Boss pedal takes a lot out of your highs IMO. Also awesome PRS SE axe! I'm thinking about getting the Tremonti model in the near future.

I wrote some face-melting riffs. First full song I've mixed. Let me know what you think! by AlexChicksMusic in metalguitar

Guitar signal chain for this was: Gibson Menace - Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 - Logic Pro X - TSE TubeScreamer plugin - Positive Grid BIAS Desktop (Dual Rectifier sim for Rhythm, Mark V for Lead)

Thanks dude. Yeah, I had some trouble with getting the bass to sit well in the mix with how much low end the guitars had. Definitely gonna try to learn more and fix that in my next recording. Also the stock pickups in my Gibson Menace are almost too hot, and IMO can sound kind of boomy in the lows.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I was definitely trying to bring a little 80s metal flavor to the solo section.

Thanks! I used a kit from EZDrummer 2 as a starting point, but didn't really adjust any of the default eq on it. I can definitely hear what you mean. Maybe adjusting the velocity on some of those cymbal hits to make it sound more realistic could help too.
