    Impressions of this drum sound/mix (real drums)

    Cheers for checking it. Definitely taking these ideas on board. Might have been inclined to swap in different samples but will try to improve what I've gone with here.

    Impressions of this drum sound/mix (real drums)

    Cheers.. fair suggestions. I would never argue against louder kick haha. I need to work on my playing for sure. It is meant to be chaotic but not it a sloppy playing way! ..which there are some stuff ups and sections I'm less competent with.

    Impressions of this drum sound/mix (real drums)

    Pity there's some artifacts from soundcloud (even though I uploaded wav?) but not too bad.. The overheads are pair Behringer c-2 Toms internally mic'd with JTS cx-505 (no resos) Kick = slate trigger (mic'd originally) ..made an instrument with metal machine kicks Snare = slate (mic'd...

    'Releasing' a few projects today (instrumental covers and originals)

    Yeah you're right. I think only 1 or 2 of the tracks on my soundcloud have bass. Do you think a dirty/gritty 'present' tone would suit or just something kinda just solid and understated? Another thing I find wregarding everything sounding cohesive is the drum sounds. I really like slate drums...

    'Releasing' a few projects today (instrumental covers and originals)

    What's up Sneap forum. Been a member here a long time.. never posted much.. always checked back every now and then. AE and producing are very interesting to me and I can get very absorbed in it, but probably realized it's not something I will make a big part of my life. Anyway, I've been...

    Distance between wall and Monitors

    It's about the frequency that is cancelled out/disturbed by waves bouncing back. The further away from the wall, the lower that frequency is. Therefore you move it far enough away that the frequency is below the speakers range.

    Tips on getting that huge KSE-ish sound

    I don't know what the professional/standard approach is with quad tracking as far as levels, but in my experimenting with it I only ever like the sound when there is still a dominant hard panned l/r pair, then a 75%(or so) panned pair mixed lower. It might seem to defeat the purpose, but if you...

    Schecter Loomis Tone

    I have the JLV-7. I like the tone for the most part, BUT - there's this ultra high end, 'clacky' sort of element that cuts through everything and sits on top which is fucking annoying. When I say "cuts through", it's like the gain structure of my EVH, plugs ins or any distortion doesn't...

    EVH preamp to interface?

    Connecting headphones shuts down the power section on this amp, so you can record the preamp out silently. I do it with just a 'dummy' patch cable in the headphone jack. I also still have the speakers connected which is probably a good idea to be safe.. you can hear they still get a tiny bit of...

    Making Toms to sound like Pantera?

    Pity the Slate toms are tuned so high, in that regard they are way off Pantera style. I reckon the Slate floor tom is probably higher pitched than Vinnies smallest tom.

    My Macbook Pro has bitten the dust :(

    I fixed my totally dead 2007 MBP with the 'reflow' (oven) treatment. But my problem wasn't as described here, though I also have been through this screen related one and luckily Apple fixed it for me.

    The Official Metal Month Thread

    With this EZmix thing being a one stop guitar tone plug.. is it a good choice for a direct input monitoring? or, is it's processing load basically equivalent to your typical chain of say TS - AMPsim - impulse loader .. ?

    Whats the go with Engl prices in Australia?

    Why? because they think they can. I'll laugh when they go out of business. At this point, the corner stone of their business model is ignorance.
