That's the impression that I got too. The mix originally had a lot of mids happening which is why the dude who mastered it scooped it so much. The guitars were a lot more up front. I also experimented with stereo imaging in the guitars and overheads in this mix. It definitely helped as...

Yo guys, So I just got the master back for one of the bands I just finished recording. IMO I feel as if the guitars could have been a little more aggressive. The master did tame some of harsh high frequency stuff goin on in the guitars, but I feel they may be a little too "nice" now. What's...

Thanks so much dude!

Hey man, one quick fix I've always used to reduce the "boominess" in a kick and give it a "tighter" sound is to just throw a blanket inside the kick slightly resting on the front head. It really cuts down on the resonant tones. But don't pack it too much, it'll kill the entire sound of the kick...

:OMG: I second that question!

axeman, did you happen work on the new Bury Your Dead album? If so, do remember specificaly what pre's you used for the drums on the recording?

The Brent Averill's are super nice! That might be the way to go. I'd love to get a chance to sit down and A/B the vintech's and the BA's to hear any differences. I actually had this same "four channel" dillema about a year ago and was going to go with the 473. But someone had told me that the...

Hey! thanks a lot guys. oh, yeah I've been hearing a lot of great things about the api preamps. I'm leaning toward those as a choice as of right now. The ViPre is amazing man, almost anything you put through it sounds great. The ISA sounds great too, but contains a completely different...

Hey guys! SO, I've been looking into investing into a super nice four channel mic pre. I've been looking at a whole bunch of different pres from different companies, and I've been curious as to which route I should go: A four channel mic pre, or two dual channel mic pres. This pre is going to be...

Shure Beta 98's are also another great choice on tom's. I've never had a chance to A/B them with either of those two mic's. Also, the beta 98's are also a bit cheaper then the sennheiser's, yet the sound quality doesn't suffer for the difference!

great album! This song is also one of my favorites:rock: I think the mix sounds amazing, most especially the drums, awesome work man! btw, what amp/amps did you use for this album?
