    Badass metal

    No doubt bro, derek's feet are ridiculous. It is high pitched than his snare, but I prefer it that way. Might try that compression, already have a compressor on but who knows.

    Badass metal

    Thanks for that "constructive" criticism, you can at least include why you don't like it. Anyway, I modeled it after Derek Roddy's snare in this video: I love how it sounds!

    Need some feedback (tight deadline). Female-fronted + real drums

    Hey man, the second sample is sounding pretty killer. The group vocals and all that fit right on. The first sample though, the kick is really overpowering IMO. It just sounds too snappy (in the high end freq's). If you could figure out a way to soften the kick I think it would found a lot...

    Badass metal

    What up everyone, haven't posted here in a while so I thought I'd drop in. Been working on guitar tones lately with the TSE X30 and am finally getting some decent sounds out of it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5319877/dknew2.mp3 drums - addictive drums custom preset guitars - TSS > TSE X30 >...

    My try at the modern ____Core sound

    Wow! That does sound great. Yes, details on the geetars. That bass tone is nice too, how did you record it?

    Trying to bring out low mids in guitar tone

    Hey man, that tone is sounding really nice. Only thing I didn't like was the guitars were a little dry, as in didn't have enough sustain IMO. But yeah man the tone sounds good and the l-mids are good to go. Mind sharing the chain you used on the guitars?

    Melodic death metal mix

    Yeah I did just realize that the bass is kind of barely audible, but I remember messing with the bass volume last night and if I raised/boosted it too much it ruined the mix. As in, the kick got started to not cut through the mix, etc etc. And yes, computer speakers suck, lol. But at least...

    Melodic death metal mix

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5319877/Deathkllr84%20-%20Welcome.mp3 I would appreciate some feedback on this mix. It's just a song I wrote and recorded in 2 days. I realize it is not amazing, I am mixing on computer speakers :Puke: Drums are dfk except for the kick and ride, which are custom...

    Guitar tone shootout: 6505+ vs. Savage120 vs. Mixed

    Lol Killswitch Engage songs are usually a good reference anyway. 1) The savage tone is pretty brutal sounding, but I see what you mean by 'cold'. 2) The 6505+ sounds like it lacks some highs. Just kind of dull in general. 3) Pretty good tone. 4) The best tone in my opinion. It's up to you...

    Impulse tone test - a little thin

    Alright, so I boosted a little mid-lows and filtered the guitars around 55 now, I think they cut through a little better. I also turned down the cymbals a tad to give some room for the guitars. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5319877/impulse2.mp3 It's hard to hear the difference but I think the...

    Impulse tone test - a little thin

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5319877/Impulsetest.mp3 So I realize this mix isn't the best, it's just a short sample for the purpose of experimenting with simamp/impulse tones. It's a little loud too, but I like it punchy like that. Anyway, the guitars aren't coming in very clear. It sounds...

    Need some general recording advice

    Ah, correction. I was not using the sim amps properly, got it fixed now. Using the 8150 lead and some impulses and got some decent tones. Still got a lot of shaping to do though. This is basically my first tone from impulses, still sounds dry/missing mids though...

    Someone EQ My Guitar...

    I agree, very awesome tone. Listening on headphones, and the guitars sound a *little* dry. Made try adding a tad of reverb or the like? Also, the bass seems a little low in the mix. Maybe it's just me.

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

    Lol everyone's going for the AILD tone. I've been trying to do a decent cover on it as well. I have pretty good sounding drums but the guitar is missing a lot of mids. Here's a sample, it's just a tone test and not played tight (or in the right tempo) but you might get a kick out of it...
