Dave trying EVH Balance style riffing

[Dave]

I'm having issues mixing so I tried having one of my tracks mastered. I'm not sure if it cured the bass issue or not, but it seems to have helped.

I used the EVH Wolfgang for both parts. The rhythm is all OCD - Deluxe Reverb - Captor - H90, while the lead is the same thing but through my Dr Z.

For the rhythm part I used the Micropitch on the H90, while the lead is all Shea's Halo Delay and Reverb patch on the H90.

[GuitarBilly]

Sounds killer man!! So since these amps have no loop, I assume the H90 is in front of the amps?
Or are you putting the H90 after the Captor?
Eddie always had his amp loaded down and ran the Eventide after the whole amp, so the Captor would be a good way to do that.
Either way it sounds great. These clips have been giving me crazy GAS for the H90.

[Dave]

Yeah I’m running the amps through the captor then running the line out in to the H90 on my desktop and stereo out to the interface.

Really similar to Eddie’s old setup.

Damn that is slick and polished, didn't know you had it in ya!

Right? I can hear Bryan Adams singing over this. Really cool track.

My original mix was really bass heavy. It’s like I couldn’t get it under control at all.

I cut it pretty drastically and ran the track through one of those free mastering sites.

[Hipster Salad]

That sounded fantastic - and through my laptop speakers no less.

H90 is making my pants tight

bass can be a pain in the ass. its definitely not overwhelming in this mix though

[Dave]

Thanks bros

I think it was a case of eq’ing and shit with my eyes instead of my ears. I still have a ways to go to get to your level of recording, Race. You and endtime have that pro sound

Right now I’m using my Mexi jazz bass thru my Mesa walkabout direct in to my interface.



So to “fix” my issue I shelved the bass real hard instead of running a preset jazz bass eq preset. Next time I’ll try re-eq’ing the amp itself.

I’m thinking one of the kids must have fucked around with my bass amp eq and fucked up my normal sitch

Nice! Good stuff and tones!

That micropitch “stereoizing” effect is legit fun to play around with and of course in the room if you have the 2 stacks(I know he used 3 w/d/w) but with my Poss PS-6 and it’s micropitch split stereo is seriously some of the most encompassing tone to play around in. I’ve been lazy and haven’t broke it out in a bit, so I think I may just do that!

[Mike Oxhuge]

Great tones, playing, mix! Showing your diversity as a great musician!

[JiveTurkey]

Sounds great Dave \m/

Thanks man. You're not kidding, it's super addictive to use lol. I need to check out the Boss version as well, and I vaguely do recall you talking about that one in the past.

Once i sort out my JCM900 I will setup a W/D/W rig just to see it's full glory haha

Thanks bros!
