Story

Jammer is one of my fav nu-school C64 composers and this is a rock cover of one of his awesome SIDs. As so, there is not too much going on in the mix. Drums, various guitar parts, bass, kicking ass to some degree. There are no synths in there this time, even the typical C64 ARP-chirp is a guitar.

 

As for the tech, the following gadgets were used:

- Ibanez RG521 zebra guitar

- Ibanez SR305DX bass

- KORG G1 + AMT Chameleon (rhythm guitar)

- KORG AX3000G (everything else)

- EDEN WTDI bass pre

- Ibanez WH10-v3 wah (intro)

- Focusrite Clarett interface

- Reaper DAW

- Toontrack drums

- plug-ins: Melda, Stillwell, Klanghelm, iZotope

Classic Necro, solid stuff. It's baffling to me why it didn't score higher on the R64 20th Anniversary remix compo. How you manage to mix SID sounds and heavy guitars with all that distortion and still getting a clean mix out of it all is beyond me. And your work on those guitars - just damn.
