Great, great, great, great. :) Loving what I'm hearing.

Sounds good brah. I like the bass tone, makes the song a lot more powerful. For the rest I can't really give a lot of feedback since I'm using my in-ears atm. Overall sounds good to me though.

Yep I think so too. I guess to only way to find out is to try stuff myself. I will promise that if I get a good preset out of it I will share it of course. Anyways thanks.

Hmm this is no help. I'm not trying to sound like a little bitch, I'm just interested in his techniques since I haven't heard any other drum mix that sounds like it so I'm wondering what he did with his drum mix. I'm not interested in presets and samples since I actually want to learn from this...

Most definitely, maybe in combination with TMF and some samples but yea, I'm more interested in the techniques. :)

Hey nice song mate. Not a fan of the rhythm guitar tone (too Periphery-ish imo, that's my personal taste though, I never enjoyed their tones). The song is easy to listen to, I like that. Just straight forward positive progressive metal vibes! Keep it up. :yesway:

What did he use for drums? I mean I don't really like the overall sound (it does work for Hacktivist) but it IS punchy as hell, it hits you right on the nose. I've asked this before but I never really got a very useful answer apart from parallel compression. I'm guessing parallel compression...

Definitely sounds like Dionaea, love that band. :)

Sounds great man, punchy as hell.

Haha, it's really cheesey and in the beginning I wanted to turn it off immediately but I kept listening anyways and I gotta say it's a pretty cool song haha. Keep it up man. :cool:

Another example. You can clearly hear that it's Superior Drummer 2.0 w/ The Metal Foundry. Even though it has a lot of compression, it still has a lot of body, especially the snare. Vildhjarta's drum sound is not as agressive as Hacktivist's and Circle Of Contempt's in my opinion but still it...

Nice! Gonna check it out. :) EDIT: I think your videos explain it pretty good, still I'm not fan of the sound you got out of it. It's great for your music on your channel but your drums sound very processed unlike for example Tesseract's and Hacktivist's kits (I know they are too but they...

Makes sense! Thanks! :yesway: Yea I've been looking at it previously. Acle has a nice example of what parallel compression can do: Drums by Acle on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free I like how the drum is punchy but still pretty natural and raw. Thanks for the...

Thank you for both your very helpful answers. I will be looking into it. Sidechain compression is not the same as parallel compression?

Yea Nolly's S2.0/TMF sounds are great and it gives a nice start for a good sound but still, I think his drums sound really too produced or something, I can't put my finger on it exactly. What I like about especially Hacktivist's drumsound is that it sounds pretty natural and raw.

Hello all. I've been more into drum mixing lately and while I can get a pretty good drum sound for my goal I started listening to other mixes and a few really caught my attention (drum mix wise). Especially the snare and the toms. (0:09 for example) I'm not really into the whole "djent"...

I remember you posted this on UltimateMetal a while ago, I still like the song. :) It's very The Contortionist. Still sometimes a bit random in my opinion but the vocals made it more "one".

Yup, true. I will go with the Ibanez RG7321. Thanks.

Hmm ok, I thought it was very clear from what I read. Thanks. I'm also not a fan of the sterile sounding Bareknuckle pickups. They are cool for djent I guess but I like a bit more natural sound.

So yea, I'm going to buy my first 7-string, and here in The Netherlands I don't have a lot of choice unless I'm shipping from Germany. Anyways I kind of have a "small" budget since I also want to purchase a Pod X3 (Live). I have two choices: - Schecter Omen 7 NEW (250 euros) - Ibanez RG7321...
