Danza IV

[Prydogga]

so i have no idea how i didnt notice this before but in Paul Bunyan and the blue ox it cuts into a whitechapel song

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

and now it doesnt do it, i think the song is just trying to fuck with me

 

[Prydogga]

Maybe you were learning on your keyboard weird, and had shuffle on? Or something equally unfortunate?

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

i dont think i was, i even went back to check if it would happen again right after it happened and it worked

 

[Triple7]

Has anyone received an email regarding their pre order with the vinyl yet? I know they started shipping out last week, but I haven't gotten an email yet from indiemerch.

Nothing's confirmed yet, but from the looks of it, no

Hey guys! I'm Nick Scott, and I produced/engineered/mixed this album.


Let me know if you have any questions.


Regarding the clipping: I'm 99% sure that was a mistake made during distro/duplication, there was absolutely no clipping going on in my master. Margin set to -.3 (Industry standard) and I think it peaks at about -8 RMS

Cheers, Nick!
Great work on this release - by far my favourite Danza production.
Would be glad to hear any info regarding drums/guitars recording/processing, general review would be enough.
I love the punch brought by kick drum and chugging guitars, as well as hearing some slight vibey pumping which is awesome.
Any secret info on that überpunchy kick/snare?
Wasn't bothered by clipping issue - Machine Shop has already taught is clipping may sound pleasant in the right context

 

[baptizedinblood]

This album is just...filthy. Pure filth. It's disgusting. I'm sitting at work listening to it and just want to break stuff. I have never heard something so dissonant and dark that somehow manages to be composed in an orderly fashion.


Fuck.

Thanks!

The kick is simply 50%real kick and 50% sampled. The sample is the one I sampled from danzas actual kit and processed as well, sorta to just fill in the gaps and keep it consistient. Everything else for drums is 100% real.

The main thing I wanted on this record was to emmulate them live and focus on the 'slam' factor. Didn't give a shit about how even and pure the levels were so much because that comes natrually. So I esentially INFLAMED every instrument as largly as I possibly could. The thing that helped most with that is AMAZINGLY solid and filthy takes, and lots of parallel compression and other parallel tricks. I also slammed the 2bus with my favorite secret compressor. That's what helps to really groove that slam and make it feel like one giant monster rather than just a buch of perfectly fine tuned instruments

I've had the chance to see them live twice, both time had that crazy slam feel. This album is the closest I can get to feeling that insane live energy. Very well done man, it absolutely crushes. On a side note, do you have any other projects going on? I'm curious to hear what else you can do.

Very cool of you to give us some insight into the recording process, many thanks.

Yeah man, I work full time as head audio engineer with JoeySturgis, and I also mix a significent ammount of albums.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

That sucks distro fucked things up because the mix is awesome but that clipping is so annoying

 

[sakeido]

I've been rooting around trying to find a CD to buy local but no dice. how bout sending over your good version Nick? I've got proof of purchase with my iTunes receipt I can send you haha

very nice job on the mix - so crushing. such a great guitar tone.

 

[chaosimminent]

I have the itunes version of this but I was wondering are there lyrics that come with the actual cd? Ive been looking all over but cant seem to find any

Yes there is a lyric book with the physical copy of the cd.

 

[MikeK]

I hear absolutely no clipping on my hard copy. Ive played it through my car speakers and studio monitors as well.

A MODERN production in a GOOD way. If you continue doing stuff like Danza IIII you could put your name on the map a.k.a. becoming the Bob Rock of Extremetal, lol. Good stuff.
