The Tone Thread

[Armistice]

Makes you realise how complex some of the Smith's songs are. Marr is a great player - always had time for him. Doesn't sound a million miles from the original - mebbe a little toppy but probably nothing a bit of EQing wouldn't solve. And I'm sure Marr is using a really short delay or reverb on his to thicken it out a little.

Out of interest, what frequency is your HPF set at?

Bubba on bass?

Not bad. Really thin though. I like bright and clear but that needs some girth IMO.

This sounds decidely sexual. It is best practice to keep these types of conversations reserved for PM's or an external private messaging app.

Whatsapp has free video calling if needing more girth is what you are after.

Best.

Sorry, I can't resist when I get questioned about my girth.

Yeah, I vaguely mentioned to Bubba I was gonna learn This Charming Man and that it was trickier than I expected... "I'll play bass, I'll play bass!"
We then made it a challenge to record it all the way through in single takes with no punch ins.

One of the guitars has a bit of slapback on it, the other has chorus... and I've added way more reverb than I normally would in the mix.

I'll check the HPF when I get to my desk.

Girth is tone talk.

@Armistice think I just overdid the low mid scoop.
