She by Kiss with Metro amps
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2007 12:44 pm
I've been working on several songs to remake using Metro amps. All classic Marshall tone stuff, of course. I never seem to finish any, so to kick myself in the ass....here's the first one.
She by Kiss. I always thought Paul and Aces rhythm tracks were great Gibson/Marshall sounds.
How we did it:
Fido played Clark's V drums into MIDI and we triggered sounds from BFD. Rob (who makes our panels and T shirts) played my P bass DI'ed into Nuendo. Later I re-amped his track through my SVT.
I cut a scratch track with them.
Later I over dubbed the three guitar parts. I panned hard left and right for rhythms and kept the leads fairly centered.
Paul's part, on the left, is my Explorer with VooDoo 59 PU's, into a '67 replica 100 watt and a Metro 4-12 loaded with Heritage G12M's.
Ace's part on the right is my LP with '68 T Top PAFs into a '68 100 watt replica and the same 4-12 cab.
The leads are the same setup, EQ'ed a bit and with a harmony.
Thanks to Fido for singing both Paul and Gene's parts. He's a huge Kiss fan and used to play in a tribute band, so he was a natural.
Everything was mixed in Nuendo and I used some compression and EQ on the stereo buss. The guitars are prominent in the mix for obvious reasons.
