"Bulb Tone" test...short Zyglrox snippet (Eureka, PODX3, DFHS)

Slampop · 11-20-2008, 06:07 PM

this is my attempt at the "BULB TONE!" cause let's face it, it's an amazing tone and i have always wanted to at least get close to it, or figure it out. the mix isn't great, but it'll do. let me know what u guys think. sorry for posting threads so close together BTW.

i used a very short snippet of Zyglrox...which i'm pretty sure i didn't play exactly right, but oh well.

it sounds too "filtered" in a way, not enough highs and lows, ya know?

also, too much treble before the distortion. back it off just a wee bit, and it should sound alot closer.

not bad at all though, it´s a hard type of tone to get right. it´s way too easy to make it harsh or boomy or shrill or whatever. it´s all about balance :P

Bloodpodx3test is way better imo. Could you record zyglorx with that tone? Im curious to see the differences.

it does sound filtered. and unfortunately i did a tone test for Kalevala to hear the difference between the tone w/ and w/out the eureka and found there was seriously little to NO difference

i guess it really is all about the post production w/ the POD! hey, at least i'll get my $600 back for some studio monitors hahaha. i just have to keep working at my mixes. i'm working on a patch/tone for my band for when i record us, so hopefully these trial and errors w/ the eureka, post production and bulb tone attempts will help with that! gonna try using the "5150" amp sim.

Plankis- yes, if i get a chance i will do that, but i don't want to spend too much time on a bulb cover, i got a sweet little jam i'm workin on w/ some gnarly riffs my guitarist and i came up with, but if i get the time i will do that.

PLANKIS, here ya go dude. so this is the exact same mix from the Blood+PODX3 test, i already can tell it's a fuller brighter mix, but that's because i didn't mix down the ZyglROCKER hahaha, i just posted it for the "Bulb tone" purposes...it really wasn't a mix post, but oh well. i'll fix it and update it on soundclick. so here is the bulb snippet with the bloodPODX3 mix u wanted.

The bloodversion seems to blend better with the rest of the instruments. Very punchy mixes you got, what plugins do you use to make it so loud?

bulb · 11-21-2008, 03:26 PM

good stuff dude! its an interesting and unique tone you got there actually!

depends on what loud means, if u mean any individual instrument, it's because i send a lot of stuff over to group and fx tracks w/ plugins such as maximizers (bbe, waves L2 etc), but if it's the overall mix, i use TRacks stuff on the master (clippers, or limiters) but i really work at mixing it down loud and good..."good as currently possible anyway..." before doing anything to the master track.

usually "unique" and "interesting" are two words i use when a girl asks how i like her new hair cut that was blatantly butchered at Super Cuts! hahaha, j/k
