    Seeking mix engineer (especially someone who is a fan of Terry Date's work)

    Hey there, I've been writing and recording with a buddy of mine for the past few years. We've worked with a handful of pretty awesome mix engineers, but want to continue to explore options. I'd say we tend to gravitate toward the sound of 90s alternative - huge fan of a lot of the stuff Terry...

    Differences between SSL / Neve consoles?

    Would love to hear a deeper insight on the differences between these 2 console's sound, and what makes them unique to mix on. Are the plugin versions of these consoles any good? Some of my favorite records have been mixed on either one, so, just wondering. Thanks!

    Is it me or does REAPER (DAW) sound muddy/congested/crammed/flat?

    I have been using reaper for about 2 years, chasing tones and mixing over and over. I can't seem to get it to sound crisp/clear without sounding harsh. But the biggest battle is not sounding congested and muddy. I have tried EQing, panning, stereo wideners, compression, etc etc. It just somehow...

    Best plugin for DOOM/Argent/Cyber Djent? (8 string tones)

    Extremely curious to know if anyone has dabbled in the Mick Gordon DOOM style genre, and if they know of a good amp sim that isn't too grindy/fuzzy/hissy. I've tried dropping the gain on my amp sim (Archetype Petrucci), I've tried different IRs and speaker/mic positions. I just can't seem to get...

    Discrepancy on Measurement of LOUDNESS between PLUGIN METER and REAPER

    My instance of YouLean Loudness Meter on my Master Bus reads that I'm peaking @ -0.9dB. But I'm running Pro-L right before it, with the output set at -1.3dB. Nothing should be able to peak louder than that. Yet the final plugin in the chain, YouLean, is reading that my "true peak" is -0.9dB...

    The GOAT of metal drum samples (HYPE)

    Just tested out Mixwave: Gojira, and guys, these are the BEST mix ready metal drums I've ever come accross. Check the demo at the top! ^ I tweaked a little bit in the UI, added a quick EQ and a compressor (Softube's FET) on the bus, and that's it. It sounds sick! If you have been lookin at...

    Need some recommendations for epic Choir VSTi

    So I`m currently doing some power metal and I need some choir on the background, for choruses especially, but it should be still powerful, not muffled. I tried some free options I have with my plugins (free stuff), and they just sound wrong, like a bunch of amateurs at school concert, whereas I...

    Tube amp / Loadbox / IR hybrid setup

    Hey guys, I thought some of you might find this interesting or handy! It's basically a walkthrough of my setup when I'm working with tube amps. I tend to usually use my amps with my Fractal Audio LB-2 loadbox and OH IR's rather than using real cabs, so this could offer some insight on getting...

    Any suggestions for metal songs, mastered at commercial quality, with strong mid frequencies?

    So the thing is I`m mastering my songs with references and it`s cool, I seem to get very close to them, but I don`t like it. Too much treble and overall hissing, not enough everything else. It actually made me looking at my favorite tracks from the new perspective and realize they are far from...
