Mastodon - The Wolf Is Loose (2 x C+ content)

[Platypus]

I found a backing track for the song 'The Wolf Is Loose' by Mastodon (one of my favorite metal bands) and decided this would be a good time to do some contrasting with recording my 60/100 C+ and Simul C+

Guitar 1 is a 58 les paul historic into my simul C+
Guitar 2 is a 58 les paul historic into my 60/100 C+

No pedals or post recording EQ or mastering.. this is straight into a single SM57.

You can definitely hear the smooth nature of the simul compared to the 60/100 on recording as much as you can in person.

Anyway, here is the full mix:

And just for fun...here I stripped out the 60/100 for rhythm and left just the simul tone.

If you check this thread out, please leave comments whether good or bad. I am curious how my first simul recording sounds in comparison to my usual stuff.

I want to listen to your clips, but unfortunately they are only about 2 seconds long each. They need to be fixed. Let us know when they are up and running.

You cannot stream them, you must download the file in full.

Too smooth sounding for me. Seems like you're not digging into the string hard enough. Not enough aggressiveness for a metal song.

Interesting, thanks for the comment. Mastodon are really smooth to my ears which is why I love their tone. It's vintage but not at the same time.

I suppose thats a result of the simul C+. Perhaps I should have used the 60/100 for the base rhythm? I might redo it just for grins to see how it sounds.
