I've been working on several songs to remake using Metro amps. All classic Marshall tone stuff, of course. I never seem to finish any, so to kick myself in the ass....here's the first one.

She by Kiss. I always thought Paul and Aces rhythm tracks were great Gibson/Marshall sounds.

How we did it:

Fido played Clark's V drums into MIDI and we triggered sounds from BFD. Rob (who makes our panels and T shirts) played my P bass DI'ed into Nuendo. Later I re-amped his track through my SVT.
I cut a scratch track with them.
Later I over dubbed the three guitar parts. I panned hard left and right for rhythms and kept the leads fairly centered.

Paul's part, on the left, is my Explorer with VooDoo 59 PU's, into a '67 replica 100 watt and a Metro 4-12 loaded with Heritage G12M's.

Ace's part on the right is my LP with '68 T Top PAFs into a '68 100 watt replica and the same 4-12 cab.
The leads are the same setup, EQ'ed a bit and with a harmony.

Thanks to Fido for singing both Paul and Gene's parts. He's a huge Kiss fan and used to play in a tribute band, so he was a natural.

Everything was mixed in Nuendo and I used some compression and EQ on the stereo buss. The guitars are prominent in the mix for obvious reasons.

I just listened to the clip at home. Something happened. The stereo field has completely collapsed and the bass is jumping out.
I'll check tomorrow to see what happened. It was either when I rendered the MPEG4 in Vegas or the conversion that youtube does to files.

YouTube killed it. I don't think I've ever heard a stereo mix on YT. ? Post the mp3! :wink:

I'm not a Kiss fan but the tone is great, as usual.
