    Attempting to mix hardcore + synth bass. Results underwhelming...

    Sonar compatable side-chain-able Multi-Band compressor...

    Heya guys So I'm quite deep into mixing my band, Screaming Mechanical Brain, new full length record. The issue that keeps coming up could basically be summed up as "Guitars, Vocals, Synth: Pick two" The synth and the vocals really hate each other with having the huge amount of frequency...

    Quick little tips on sounding like August Burns Red...

    Messangers is what I'm aiming for I found that just putting a 3db boost on the mastering software helped a ton with getting that sound. Now when you say Linear compression, what do you mean? doing a compression bus and then sending the kick and snare to that? or is that parallel?

    Heya guys Been reading on here for a while and I figured your the boys who can help me the best. I've got a modest home studio set up that I use for recording demos of my own songs and I have a friend who has a little garage punk band whom I record songs for just for the joy of it...
