Timo Tolkki is one of my favorites. SOMEONE has got to have this, or knows how to get in touch with Timo... I'll pay whatever $$$ I have to.

Timo still hasn't fixed the broken link after a few years. Been wanting to read it forever. I sent a follow up message and others did too but we got no response. Did anyone ever manage to get this back then?

That's good stuff, thanks :) I'm finding I'm having to tweak my guitar tone a bit. I'm using much more of a nasty tone than usual.

This is quite the change for me. My normal stuff is faster and more chaotic, and because of that it's easier to get a powerful sound. All of that just fell apart when I changed my playing style for a new doom song. It's like the mix is 'empty'. Power chords ring out but sound weak, and the low...

Does anyone know the exact latency on a D4? I swear I read either an interview or a forum post by Andy Sneap where he mentioned the exact amount in milliseconds. I don't know if that was for the audio trigger or if it was for the midi variety. I'd like to know what it is on a DM5 too but I...

I wanted to buy the book/pdf he released but the link on his site isn't working. I sent him a message on facebook and he said it would be fixed soon, but that was like last year. It comes with some Stratovarius samples Did anyone ever grab it back then?

He's got a few digital-looking pieces on the right of his racks and also those metal faceplate units. I've never seen any of those before. I think I noticed a D4 somewhere in there too. I wonder how those ddrum modules sound...

First reply 5 years later :heh: Can we get some gear identification? I noticed some ADAT stuff, drawmer ds404, finalizer, sansamp psa, ddrum module, korg rack tuner, and the rest of it looks foreign.

I'm gonna pick it up tonight :) Quick question that's sort of related to this topic. When you guys are making your own drumkit, do you mess with any sample restart feature? Like, let's say a snare has a bit of ring/sustain to it. If you play it fast enough you'll get some build up. Maybe some...

I kind of want to say that analog tape has something to do with it, but the examples I've heard of tape machines sound good, crisp and clear and not too much different from anything into a DAW (unless slammed). It's almost like some of those older albums were recorded either on a cheap cassette...

Throughout the 90s metal productions vary a lot. Albums today sound so much different than that era. Think early 90s Morrisound, to mid 90s Rotting Christ and Tiamat, to the Abyss Studios stuff in the late 90s. Deicide's self titled is warm and muddy, Rotting Christ's stuff was just plain bad...

Today?

After using the search I read that the best way to learn how to humanize drums is to watch drummers play. I've got that covered for sure, but I'm still a little uncertain on things like what the average velocity should be, how much to vary the velocity between hits, how many ticks to move the...

I think the album was recorded at Morrisound. The kick and snare are totally triggered with a drum module, or at least the samples came from some type of sampler. I'm going to guess the kick and snare are from some type of Roland TD module. Does anyone know specifically? I've always liked...

How do you guys usually use a guitar VST? I've got the Recabinet demo and I'm wondering if I can pan and route 4 tracks to a single group track with Recabinet on it, or if I should use 4 individual instances of Recabinet on each individual track.
