    Andy Sneap Appreciation Thread

    Just wanted to take a moment to make a thread in appreciation of the amazing legend Andy Sneap! It's been 17 years since I joined this forum, and I was around 22 at the time so it's almost half my life (CRAZY) This was really the only dedicated forum for metal production and engineering at the...

    I've seen this forum die several times.....

    Hello just checking in again. I'm hopeful forums will come back into fashion again because the more time passes the more you realize how valuable they are. I still post on GS here and there and glad to see it's still active. But this forum was the true metal internet moment for producers and...

    I've seen this forum die several times.....

    true true. forums were just "slow" enough to dissuade the whole "attention as capital" phenomenon of the last 10 years or so. the lack of instant gratification is an effective retardant against the narcissism. i made friends with a bunch of people and used to chat on AIM as well. even james...

    I've seen this forum die several times.....

    whoa kazrog plugins is kazrog from here? ps - if forums were just a little faster and app-ish notifications wise, they'd be better than any social media. while it's faster on modern platforms, its easy to lose track of stuff and pick up a convo in the future or look through a big thread for...

    I've seen this forum die several times.....

    wow I was searching something random in my bookmarks and found a really old bookmark from this and I still had my password autosaved so I logged in. It's been so long since I even looked here.

    load/reload/metallica/randy staub

    5 years or so later and these are still the greatest sounding hard rock albums of all time! listening to Load now thought back to this thread.

    What is Andy up to these days?

    sounds like an adam d mix actually, but again, I'm not committing to it. we'll wait for the album to come out so we can see the credits, or just hear from someone who knows for sure.

    Syria.

    the amount of propaganda in western media is making me think that we don't have it that much better than north koreans. it's that bad. the anti-russian agenda is disgusting and so much misinformation out there. the unites states is the biggest perpetrator of atrocities both on the surface and...

    electronic music mix

    to break up all the metal here's an artist i'm working with this is the first single we did.. full length to follow. check out his other stuff. ps - his soon to be released full length is killer. a blast (and tricky, with all the samples) to mix...

    Jason Suecof - Pensado's Place interview

    the thing they neglect to talk about is philosophy first. it's so totally different the approach to metal and the pecking order of things as opposed to almost every other genre.

    Lamb Of God - As The Palaces Burn (Remixed and Remastered)

    meaning the remix might sonically be what might be considered "better" qualities. separation, imaging, etc. etc. but the original feels better. that's more important in the overall product imo.

    Lamb Of God - As The Palaces Burn (Remixed and Remastered)

    man yeah its better but the original is so much better. remixing old stuff is real risky unless it totally sucks, but in some instances suckyness is part of what you know and love. this was such a big landmark album its like the original crap sound is burned into my memory. same thing when...
