    EDIT: NOT FOR SALE ANYMORE, THANKS FOR INTEREST! Hi! :D I'm selling my awesome Framus Cobra head and my 4x12 Framus Dragon cabinet. The reason I'm selling it is I'm in Mexico and the amp is in Madrid, so it's too expensive to bring over. Instead I could just sell it and get gear on this side...

    Metalcore - Real drums, TSE X50v2, massive bass.

    Hi! :D I'd like to show you guys the latest band I've mixed. For this we had real drums with very little sample replacement (kick and snare samples blended) The bass used was pretty damn good, and it was one of these cheap Fame basses. I ran it through POD Farm 2, as I find it really nice for...

    To all the Sneapsters with recording studios.

    Hey guise! :D I don't know how to put it so it doesn't sound lame, but... I would like to know if anyone here has a position available in their studio, ranging from assistant to engineering duties. I don't expect anyone here to have a mixing/mastering engineer position, as that'd be too...

    How's this sounding? Real drums, metalcore.

    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/425433/Bystanders.mp3 I'm like 90% there in the mix, and I'd like to be sure I'm going in the right direction. I know I'm close to finish it, but I'd welcome criticism or advice at this point. Drums are a blend of natural and samples: Kick is 100% sample. Alestorm kick...
