FINALLY! I've been trying forever to get a decent recorded tone from my Mark IV. Well, I finally managed it. I just bought EZDrummer, and decided as a test to make as bare-bones a rhythm track as I possibly could: recording straight in, absolutely no EQ or other processing on any track (except a slight limiting boost).
Here's the track.
The riff has kind of an 80's vibe (I keep thinking it starts off sounding like Ratt, LOL). It doesn't really show off EZDrummer that well (the beat is... um, simple), but I was more concerned with capturing a good recorded guitar tone.
Details on the clip:
Guitar (4 tracks) = Ibanez 7420 (w/ToneZone) -> Mark IV -> Audix I5 -> Mesa Standard 4x12 (mic .5" from grille, 1" straight up from upper-right speaker cone)
Drums = EZDrummer, default ProTools template, absolutely no changes, basic 4/4 beat entered
Bass = 5-string OLP Stingray copy -> PodXT ("BX - Eighties" preset)
Feedback is welcome!
