I mixed my band's first record over the summer, and I was using the Decapitator on EVERYTHING. We do two piece raw garage blues rock style music, so it needed to sound very raw and vintage, despite that we recorded it in a studio. Worked like a charm. I'd strongly suggest the Decapitator.

That sounds really interesting. Do you have any clips? I'd be really interested to hear what the "B" side sounds like.

I got out of metal a little bit this year, so here's my completely non-metal list :p: The 2nd Law - Muse Some Nights - Fun Night Visions - Imagine Dragons Celebration Rock - Japandroids Living Things - Linkin Park

I'm in a two-piece blues rock band. It's just drums, guitar, and vocals, so the guitar sound needs to be very thick. On our last record, we had to record bass because the guitar sound was very good, but ultimately not thick enough to take up the low end. The perfect example of the sound I'd...

I have a Germanium 4 Big Muff, which has an overdrive side, and a distortion side. Whenever either (or both) sides are turned on, and I tap my foot on the pedal, I can hear it through the amp. This isn't too bad if just the overdrive is turned on, but if the distortion side is turned on, it...

I'm trying to mix a 2 piece band (drums, guitar, and vocals), but I'm having trouble figuring out how to deal with the low end that would normally be occupied by the bass. Have you guys ever encountered something like this?

Yeah, I think he did guitar and bass for their first two albums.

I decided to listen to this album yesterday... and goddamn. I'm blown away by the whole mix. Everything is clear and defined. The guitar sound is simply incredible. Does anyone have any info about how this was tracked/mixed? I seem to remember hearing that Butch and Billy used an unholy...

My cover band is working on a cover of Renegade right now. Complete with three part vocal harmonies. 14 year old here, by the way. Not all of my generation's music sucks, just most of it.

Me and a friend have a two piece rock band (think Black Keys, White Stripes, etc.), and we're planning on recording an EP pretty soon. So (and yes, this is a definite blanket question), how would I go about recording and mixing this? I was thinking that maybe I'd rely mostly on OH and room...

Equator D5's. Although I usually check the bass with headphones from time to time.

When you arm recording on a track, the level meter in the mixer should reflect your input volume.

I don't think I've ever heard a really impressive lead tone that I can think of. I mean, I've heard good ones (especially in instrumental music), but nothing that's impressed me as much as a great rhythm tone.

I think the last time he posted one of his band's songs, there were both DI's and mic'ed Mesa and 5150 guitars.
