D1SCOVERIES: Sounds killer bro. I really dig the rythm tone. I would want to hear more of the lead guitar though! And the "distant" guitar tracks is basically rythm tracks that are meant to be bypassed really much. (:

So I did a cover on Volumes song "Edge of the Earth". I hope you dig it! If you want to download the multitracks and alsoe get some extra information about this track, go to this thread: Magical Mixing Practice - Volumes "Edge of the Earth" - Multitracks for you! - Ultimate Metal Forum

Thanks so much! Thanks! I noticed that people either love the snare or hate it, haha. I personally like my snares that way, but given time, perhaps I realize I might have went a bit overboard. Who knows! Thanks man! Thanks! I myself can't sing at all, and if someone else would want to put...

I just released a video playthrough of a self-produced song. I worked really hard on this and would really appreciate if you guys would give it a listen! I really tried to up my production quality on this one, so any discussion around the mixing etc is greatly encouraged as I would love to see...

nCjnFWvjXLI My band just released our new song which I engineered, edited, mixed and mastered. I'd be happy to receive opinions on the overall production! The thing I'm most satisifed with the production is, the drums, although sampled, is only sampled with actual samples taken from the kit...

I made a full instrumental recording of Architects "Naysayer". Axe-Fx 2 for all guitars and bass and Steven Slate Drums 4 for drums. If you want to take a shot at mixing it yourself, you can download the multitracks here: Massive Mixing Practice - Architects "Naysayer" - Multitracks For You! -...

Did my own recording of TesseracT's Nocturne. Hope you enjoy. If you want to mix this yourself, you can find the multitracks here: Miraculous Mixing Practice - TesseracT "Nocturne" - Multitracks For You! - Ultimate Metal Forum

Pitch-shifting guitars can sound OKAY at best. You're better off just buying (there are even tons of free ones) a bass plugin and program it. You can get away with the unrealness of programmed bass, since 1) They usually get pretty smashed in a real mix, so they already sound kind of unreal and...

^This, can't figure why anyone would be expected to buy something they never heard. ...Then they really are a BASSTARD, lol...

Technically, yes. There have been many professional albums with nothing but programmed drums and stock plugins. as far as I know. You just gotta know how to do it! That said, it's a lot more fun to have a lot of gear/plugins. : D

Just recorded a song from my old band and a video playthrough of it. Tell me what you think!

This would be a lot better if the drums had a kick..

THIS. Over and over again. If you're at least half serious about becoming an engineer, you'll stay away from everything that resembles a preset. Learn to build a mix from the ground up, its the only way you actually learn how everything is supposed to sound, and why it needs to sound that way to...

Yeah I'm sure Axe-Fx's are to blame for the whole metal industry's unified "sterile" sound. I'm sure, if all the producers had REAL amps, they would dial them in completely different!

Some of my amps the mids are on 2, some on 9 for me. Depends entirely on the amp, the tone I'm after, the guitar, well, everything. Anyone who has a set "THIS IS WHERE I LIKE MY MID TO BE ON ALL AMPS MOHAHAHA", well, they shouldn't.

Piano roll for me. Even if I got a keyboard I probably wouldn't be able to play any of the drum parts I write.

Thin drums. Yeah, I think in many recent metal mixes the drums, especially the kick lacks some weight. But that's probably just my preference, haha. Also, drums that aren't triggered properly so it becomes obvious that it is.

http://youtu.be/MIajmLP46b4 Well, it's massive, at least in my opinion. I read an interview where they said, quote; "The tones weren’t re-amped. We used a Diezel VH4 into a diezel cab and then a 5150ii into a mesa cab, Will blended these in a summing mixer and then added a Krank...

Nice man. What's your bass chain? Sounds killer!

Why start with something and then move up? The more "advanced" DAW's aren't exactly harder to learn. Would only cost you more money to first buy Reaper THEN Pro Tools (as an example), than only buying Pro Tools. Also, +1 for Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. It's sweet, and it looks sweet too, haha!
