Honestly, a country album of just drums and bass might be nice.

was going to say "how about Country Drum & Bass" for an obvious joke, but of course that actually already existsHonestly, a country album of just drums and bass might be nice.
I was thinking Machine too. I love listening to how he thinks about engineering, he's great. He did White Zombie and Clutch before LoG, but still good example.Machine engineered Ashes Of The Wake after doing mainly hip hop, then LoG had him do Sacrament as the producer. I don’t think he got a lot of metal bands in between those two albums, but he’s done a shitload since.
I think a good - like, a legitimately talented and knowledgeable - producer from that kind of background could do it, with paradoxically pop probably providing some of the most similar challenges. But, I think there'd be a learning curve and they'd have to do their homework, both to really get their heads around some of the specific challenges in metal (kick/bass overlap at high tempos, guitars dangerously close to white noise territory, massive mix space conflicts), and to learn some of the mix conventions (distorted, steady-state bass, heavily scooped and click-y kick drums, etc).This probably happened before, but can you give me some examples?
Under "non-metal", I mean how doesn't label themselfs as such, and work mostly with pop, rap, folk, or EDM musicians.
I think it could give cool results, since they don't use the same cliche things, the currently trendy plugins, they don't follow or learn from the coolest youtube metal sound engineers, etc...
Or they would be clueless how to mix metal drums and guitars?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
I agree: post an example of your work.
Let me get some stuff together since it's not mastered. I have 2 projects right now that I think are a decent representation
Here's a link to a board mix of the raw, unedited tracks for the one project. No processing, no sample replacement, all real instruments. It kind of sounds like shit since it's grindcore and I haven't cleaned things up yet but I'm working on editing things up and doing a proper mix at the moment.
