So @NineShallDie had some recommended settings for the IIC++ I want to try. Here's what he said from a FB thread. Better to move the conversation here I think.
"This might not sound good under the mic, but sounded great in the room. And I’m also running an Aphex parametric in the loop, so keep that in mind also.
Settings are something like:
Vol 1 - 9-9,5
Treble - 5
Bass - 2,5
Middle - 0
Master 1 - 4
Lead drive - 7
Lead master - 3,5
Presence - 3
Limit - 2,5
Everything pulled except bass. I usually don’t pull the brights, but for these settings it sounded great.
When pushing the power amp a bit more it adds more low end, so I’ll keep the bass and mids knobs down low or it gets too much.
Curious to hear your thoughts about this. Might sound like shit recorded though
But I’m really of the opinion that the power amp should be pushed to get the best tones."
Tobias, I will say that I just remembered one reason I set the volumes like I have been is so I can balance the two channels when switching between them playing live. With your suggestions, if I switch back to the rhythm channel it's crazy loud. No good for gigging! That being said, for recording I can see your point.
I set your settings up. First impressions in the room, it is a little thicker & looser, and a touch less pissed off. Now on to the mic! The volume set like this was around 110 dB- about 5 higher than where I've been running the others, but let's go with it. This is the track called IIC++ Tobias mixtest.
After hearing this I did a second version, where the only change I made was to dime the presence. This track is IIC++ Tobias P10 mixtest. These files are now in my cloud folder linked in post #1.
Thoughts?
