The Four Horsemen (guitar cover)

My cover of Metallica's The Four Horsemen from Kill 'Em All! The leads are not exact, as usual. Make Kirk play them exact live and I'll do the same. (YouTube didn't look too kindly on my last video encode, but that gave me some time to fix up the audio mix anyway.)

MP3s here. I have two mixes. Mix #2 is done straight from the audio track used on this video. Mix #3 was touched up after the video and I think it sounds more polished and less harsh.

Mix 3, after the video post, has much less low-mid, brighter overall, and a better bass tone:

Rhythm guitars only during leads:

No rhythm guitars, only leads: http://bittwiddlers.org/ftp/jim/backing/Horsemen%20-%20m3%20no%20rhythms.mp3 (mix 3)
No guitars at all, just bass and drums: http://bittwiddlers.org/ftp/jim/backing/Horsemen%20-%20m3%20no%20guitars.mp3 (mix 3)

Do you make video with protool's Or is that a movie editor that puts two vids together like that?

[jsd1982]

@ajfratt I know next to nothing about ProTools so I can't say if it does handle video editing but its touted specialty is in mixing and mastering audio tracks. I used Sony Vegas on Windows to put these clips together. Lately I've been using Adobe Premiere though.

[Metal6Guitarist]

wow this is awesome, how do you split your screen????

[jsd1982]

@Metal6Guitarist With an Axe :). No, seriously, with Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere or some other video editing software like that. Then it's just a matter of dropping the clips onto the timeline on different tracks and resizing/moving them.

@jsd1982 i only got movie maker, can i download it?

[jsd1982]

@Metal6Guitarist Kind of a loaded question there - you can download anything you like. Whether it's legal or not is the real question :). I've never used movie maker so I don't know what it can/can't do.
