    Dauntless - Death/Thrash

    So we agree to disagree, then? ;) Our opinions seem to be shockingly different, but I dare say mine is more objective :D You probably had different expectations and you don't like the production because it's not what you had "in your head" at the time... I can understand that, but believe me...

    Dauntless - Death/Thrash

    Hey, I'll try... It's a bit old... May I say that the tone on "War Without Blood" is IMO one of the sickest to have ever been recorded and yes, I'm serious :) The part immediately after the intro gives me the fucking chills... When both guitars start playing the same thing it's so MASSIVE... And...

    Dauntless - Death/Thrash

    Hey Daunt... Kick ass music! I found some of your samples at the harmony central forum... They floored me - especially that song "War Without Blood" Absolutely crushing old school death metal ... and the TONE on that thing... May I ask what did you use for it? Some guy from the HC forum said it...

    your opinion on my new gear

    I have the same soundcard (audiophile 2496) and I like it alot. Very good drivers, stable, great sound quality (to my amateur ears at least), I think it ought to serve you well. As for the Truth's, I don't know. I would guess they're better than the Panasonic Hi-Fi's speakers which I use :D

    Engl thing

    It probably has something to do with taste as well ;) SE is very versatile, so that would explain it's price; and from what I heard, it does have a different, smoother voicing, which may or may not be to your liking. Savage 120 is supposed to be somewhat similar, only rougher. Man, I'd kill...

    Recording with really cheap gear...(MP3's Inside)

    Hey, thanks man, I just HAVE to try this out :D

    Recording with really cheap gear...(MP3's Inside)

    Whoa, I honestly think that's a good tone. Not fantastic, but very usable. May I ask what settings did you use, and what was the mic placement? Last time I tried to record my crate the results were... well... not satisfying. And I do believe mine is identical to yours (GFX-15, no reverb...

    Hm... I wonder :D

    Vamp resonances and resonances in general.

    Hmm, I was mainly talking about the first clip (the EQd one). The second one does have enough mids. Appears to me you EQd them out or something...? or perhaps I'm just deaf from all the beer I had today :D

    Andy are 2 bass drums better than 1

    It does look funny. if you have a good drummer and a well tuned kit with two kicks, why not... but I've heard some really badly tuned double kicks in my life and it's BLAH while I'm at it.... if you have a garage-band-quality single kick/double pedal setup and no decent mics for the kick...

    More Audix i5 love - brown MP3 attached.

    yup the consensus on the net seems to be just that - an SM57 with more low end... But I still love my SM57 :D make no mistake though the audix is surely a GREAT mic. better than the e609 IMO, the latter being too scooped sounding. cool riff btw, groovy. dunno if it's yours though :)

    Guitar Volume Knob question

    if you're playing clean or slightly distorted, I agree with you, but if you're going for somehting more extreme, I find that the best gain is the one coming straight from the guitars PUs.. uh... if you get my drift... it's better to have EMGs or something similyrly hot with the volume knob on...

    lamb of god 11th hour cover

    Good job man... I don't like LOG that much but this song is KILLAAh Hey, isn't JCM 900 that one head that was basically JCM800 only with silicon diodes for clipping and everyone used to give it shit because of that..? I like it, personally (that's judging form clips, mind you, haven't played...

    Vamp resonances and resonances in general.

    It's not that you're stupid or anything, but in my opinion you may have answered your own question already - if you have resonances, EQ them out. That's what I'd do... I'm not aware of any other approach... oh, and some mids in your sound would do wonders IMO :) too scooped - for my taste at...

    RIP: Ayim of Singapore Death Thrash band Raspatul

    Sorry to hear... :( It really sucks to die like that, there were three fatal motorcycle accidents near to where I live previous week... It was so terrible to hear those eerie sirens... Made my hair stand up...
