I really hate to revive this old ass thread but I've uploaded a remixed version to soundcloud. In this version I boosted the bass a bit and took the drums down in the mix. I also added a multiband compressor to the master channel, then a little bit of high end eq to the master track after mix...

Definitely going to play around with this. I love the idea of the master compression bus. One thought: wouldn't using Ozone on the seperate master track be almost the same as using Ozone on the master channel in the mix, though? I can see how it would save some CPU, and obviously you are then...

Dude I fucking love it. Every time I read an Alex thread my mixes get better. So the only thing I had been using on my master bus in Nuendo was an eq. After reading this, i decided to throw on a multiband compressor and screw around with it for a while. WOW! Just that alone made my mix sound...

Alex, I was having the same problem. Your mixes sound far superior to mine, but in regards to the actual loudness, I would suggest playing around with this little technique as it has gotten my mixes louder. It's not so much a mastering technique but just makes the mix you have actually louder...

Like Alex said earlier, all the presets are really just the tip of the iceberg in regards to the sound you can get if you just get a little creative with it. Definitely go multi-out into your DAW, and experiment with different plugs until you get that perfect sound! Getting a huge sounding kit...

Hey man if this is your first "serious" attempt you've def got a bright future ahead of u! You're song sounds rad. What are you doing with your guitars? Like how are you recording them from your POD? Are you doubling them up, doing any panning for the rhythm parts? The drums sound good, I think...

I don't know if anyone else is seeing this but I'm getting a big "Ads by google" box at the very far left hand side. So basically I can't see the first fret at all. Which really pisses me off because I've been looking for a 7 string drop G scale website all effin morning...

Yes, I agree the bass in the mix is a tad low. I will be bumping it up in the coming mixes. I ran my custom Carvin 5 through my POD X3 with a combo of inputs and it was way too overpowering at first. It seems as though I've overcompensated a bit as a result. Finding a low end tone that I'm happy...

Unfortunately I'm prob not the best person to ask as this is literally my first attempt haha! But I can tell you that if you google "parallel drum compression" you will find out how, promise! It is definitely how I will be approaching my drum mixes moving forward. Eventually I'll get it. Thanks...

Hey guys, here is my new song "Neutral Air". Special thanks to Alex Wade from WC for the AWESOME tip of using parallel drum compression with SD 2.0! I'm not 100% completely satisfied with the mix, but it sounds MUCH better than it did before I started using this technique. It will also sound...

Holyfuckinshit This technique TOTALLY just made my kit sound so much more amazing! I had been trying to figure out what I was missing! It definitely makes the entire kit sound more full. Can't wait to screw around with it some more. You the man!

Ahhh, I see! Yeah, I use a parallel in SD, but haven't tried using one through the DAW. I can see how that would totally make sense. You're the man, thanks! I'm totally going to be trying this out tonight.

The only way to do it :) I love that Bleed preset as well. The Andy Sneap packs are cool too and I think they're only like $9 right now. If you don't mind me asking, what is it that you're doing to that snare to make it sound that awesome through you're DAW's mixer? I hear some verb, but I can't...

Alex, This is stellar! Are you using Metal Foundry in SD2 or the Avatar kit? Are you working from your own kit or are you using any presets? I ask because I've been literally working for DAYS to get my snare to sound decent. When I listened to this clip, then listened to my own I got very sad...

Krucifiction, you can pick up Metal Foundry for $80 at Guitar Center right now. It is most definitely a deal! Up until like a week or so ago it was $150. If you grab it while they have a sale (like this past weekend) you can usually grab an additional 15% off if you get their internet...

Yeah, I knew someone would mention the overheads! Haha, I don't know what it is with me and cymbals, but I think you guys are right, they need to come down. I'll experiment with raising the kicks as well. I appreciate the feedback, every little bit helps! Now if I can just find a singer...

Hey guys, I'd love to hear some feedback on my tune "Vitals". I used SD2.0, my POD X3, Halion for the background strings, a Carvin 5 string bass and my Schecter DS with Duncan Jazz and Invaders. Lemme know whatcha think! -Lysol <object width="466" height="105">...
