    Opinions about my deathcore thingy!

    Dropbox- use it. Most people won't even bother listening if they have to download it, especially from an awful host like Rapidshit. Also, asking for presets isn't exactly the best way to win people over around here. You commented on all these "guyz"'s recordings as being "decent," so you oughta...

    for fans of adtr, tgi, ftfd etc

    Sounds great, but the kick is overpowering. Update us when this gets finished! Also, I'd love to know more about the guitar. Are you using the standard impulses that come with Revalver, or something else?

    New happy hardcore song (first time using an amp sim)

    Where's the low-end? It sounds like the mix has a high pass on it. And don't expect any serious guitar tone advice without a bass in there. Bass is half the guitar tone.

    What is Slip Editing...(I READ THE TUTS!)

    Ok, seriously amd123, stop being a bitch. They're trying to help you, but you can't blame them for being a little frustrated and apathetic to your plight when shit like this has been covered OVER AND OVER, TIME AND TIME AGAIN. Somebody get Gareth in here to handle this.

    Another guitar sound thread

    Holy shit, you worked wonders with those files. Nice and thick. Well done.

    first post and first mixdown!

    Where's the low end? :goggly: Shogger has some great advice, the only thing I'd add is when you start getting the mix really nice and thick, look into parallel compression so the bass and kick don't have to compete for sub-space.

    Metalcore Mixtest

    The kick is a bit over powering, but I like it and think it works pretty well in the mix. Sounds good overall.

    My first ever mix (krank, slate, lol vocals, generic deathcore)

    Vocals really aren't cutting it man, it just doesn't sound good- and on top of that they're burying the guitar. Bring them WAAAY down/re-track/find better vocalist and beef up those guitars. Seconded on needing a real bass. It's been said on this forum a million times: Bass is half the guitar...

    ABR cover (short) rate the tone

    Dude, it's sounding REALLY fucking distant. Also, are you stuck in a well? :P I find my recordings sound like that if it's not turned up enough. What's your master volume at? Pretty good playing though, could use a few layers. Quad track this bitch, fix some eq issues on the amp/mic placement...

    As I Lay Dying cover (6505,1960A,superior2.0)

    Nice setup ;) I have the exact same one. The guitar tone is a bit too fizzy for my liking... Where are you low passing it, and how high is your gain? I find with the 1960a, I get loads of those really annoying ~3.95khz frequencies, and I always boost a little between 5khz-8khz for clarity. How's...

    Melodic hardcore band I just recorded (POD Farm, SSD)

    What clipper/limiter/compressor are you using? and have you checked out Event Horizon? It's by Stillwell, so it's pretty cheap, but really smooth sounding.

    Melodic hardcore band I just recorded (POD Farm, SSD)

    You've absolutely nailed the guitar tone for this genre, it's nice to hear Pod Farm on something other than Sturgiscore. Any info on the guitar signal chain and post processing/eq? Also, seconded on the clipping. :erk: The only place its terribly noticeable is the intro, but its scattered...

    first kindof mix. (6505, SD)

    Seconded on adding more presence. It lacks definition, did you scoop the mids? And what impulse are you using here?
