Playing aside which will improve with each time I do this focusing on each note, I would like to know if I have settings and recording in shape
EMGs. Bridge EMG81 pickup. Volume is about 8 to 9 and Tone is midway.
Marshall SC20h
P 6.5
B 8
M 6
H 6
T 6
M 7
G 8.5
I have a Boss NS-2 in front.
I am not using the GE-7 or the Chorus for this one. The Boss SD-1 stays on and is basically a boost setting.
The plate reverb on the far left is just a hint to help with my bad playing. The volume is the bottom right dial and it's below 9 o'clock. The time is the upper middle dial. It is also on 9 o'clock.
The DD3 is basically the 10 o'clock at vole level as well as the feedback.The D time dial is at the lower side of the 12.5ms to 50ms setting.
I am using an IR in my cab sim from Two Notes. It's an Iron maiden one. I can use the Two Notes' own cabs. Usually, I mic a Marshall 60A (Brit 60A) with the Dyn 57 (SM57) slightly off access (22%). One mic only. I can use a second but just want to deal with one first. I have attached the file as a zip. It extracts to a .top file for use with a Two Notes Torpedo.
I'd like to just get the best metal solo tone I can get and then work on my playing. If you have any .top files or Two Notes stuff like Wall of Sound I can try those files also and match the settings in the Torpedo.
It is just a single track. I am in the green recording in my Focusrite, not yellow or red. Basically somewhere between -16 and -12 db.
on Cubase the signal looks like this
I know it is a lot to take in. I am just wondering if it's too much gain, not enough gain, etc. What I would like is to figure out how the pros get their solo to sound so good, especially with the distortion going on.
