    Mix feedback wanted (Progressive metal, real drums/amps/pedals etc.)

    Hi! Just did a remix for one of the songs on our bands upcoming album. Was pretty happy with the original mix (which Jens Bogren mastered), but I got some new plugins that I wanted to try out, and also wanted to try do a mix entirely on NS-10s (some headphones were used for the low end)...

    Mixed my first full-length (Mastered by Jens Bogren)

    Thanks for the kind words! Haha, great! Means I matched the kick to the toms pretty well. We actually used a triggered mesh head on the kick (saves sooo much time when editing) which didn't leave us which much dynamics to begin with. I did try to do as much as I could with automation though...

    Mixed my first full-length (Mastered by Jens Bogren)

    Hi guys! Haven't posted much here lately, but I've learned so much by sharing my mixes on this forum, and getting hacked to bits by the community, haha. I've since been working tirelessly at perfecting this weird and wonderful craft of making punchy metal recordings, and now, years later, I...

    Double pedal jesus metal

    Been ages since I posted anything here, but I've sort of grown tired of my 9 to 5 and want to pursue a career as an audio engineer. So I've been mixing some bands in my spare time, and all of them play power metal for some reason. Not my favorite genre, but they pay good money. Here's my latest...

    Finally figured out how to make drum kits for Kontakt! (using own samples)

    Hey guys! I've been more or less off this forum ever since I started working as a web designer late 2012 haha, but it seems like a few of you are still interested in these. Had a few messages in my inbox as well. I'll upload them to my super huge ass corporate dropbox later tonight! Sorry for...

    I have been running COMPLETELY DI for two years. I want to get better at amp micing.

    line6 spider III nah, but srsly. 90% of a good metal tone is the cab and mic placement. i think the keyword is 'mellow', because harsh guitars destroy everything. celestion V30's, a good dynamic mic pointed well enough away from the centre. from there it's just preference. i mean, really...

    Length of time to record one metal song

    Just one song? My rate is around $100 a day because I work with lots of different genres. Makes it easier for clients to see how much time actually goes into recording/mixing, rather than just a price tag on their shitty song. Extreme neo-tech-classical-death-prog would require something like...

    Need help identifying noise (Guitar)

    Well, first of all, it's outside and I didn't think it'd have much of an impact. And I forgot about it because yeah... it's silent, automatic etc. Just makes your lawn look great without asking anything in return. It's the electrical grid that's set up around my house that's making all the...
