Hey all, quick introduction. My name is Elmo Arteaga and I work at Lambesis Studios with Daniel Castleman (Impending Doom, Carnifex, As I Lay Dying). I personally asked Daniel a bunch of questions based off the Impending Doom albums he's done because I aboslutely LOVE the quality of his...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2143256/Colossal/Abomination.mp3 I had the opportunity to work with some AMAZING gear for this track: API 3124+, Vintech 4073, True Systems, Neumann, Aurora, ADAM, etc. The guitar tone was a 5150 running through a Mesa Recto OS cab, with a 421 and 57 about two...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2143256/Oceans/Burn%20master.mp3 My newest version of Oceans' song, Burn. This is mixed and mastered. Constantly trying new ideas for guitar tone, I think I'm getting to a point where I'm happy with my guitar tone. I can't tell. PLEASE... Any constructive criticism...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2143256/John%20T%20sample%20master.mp3 This is a remix of a song i've uploaded before. i'm feeling a lot more confident in my guitar tone. any criticism is welcome :] mastering is a bit pumping, but i feel it gives a slight amount of movement in the track? think Every...

This is my band Oceans' first single (self-titled, at that). there are scratch vocals, for a music video we shot a few days ago, on the track. I also had a new thought process with guitar tone, used a real snare, and all sabian cymbals except 9.5" zilbell my guitars are getting better! tell...

hey guys, check out my newest mix! the band is a local band from Albuquerque, New Mexico. They're recording 4 songs with me right now, and i'm trying a few new techniques for guitars. Running direct into an ART Pro MPA ii then my FX chain looks like this: TSS > Poulin Lecto > Reagate > Recabinet...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2143256/JJ_1.mp3 Tell me what you all think of the mix! Any criticism is welcome. I feel lacking in the guitar tone. I can never get it as full as I want it to be. I have a feeling that it could be the Ampsim I'm using, and if it is, can someone please point me towards...

what preamp are you using? because I've had that problem before as well and I found that it's the way my preamp was set. I can't say this for all preamps, only some lower-end ART and Behringer tube pre's, but if you have more mic GAIN, and less OUTPUT that awkward waveform goes away and the...

thanks, everyone, for the kind words! i think the clipping that you all are hearing is the bass track i have. I ran the bass out to a send that had an eq hipassing at around 500 and lowpassing at like 4k. I heavily distorted that to try to bring out the fret noise. i guess it was a bit too much...

Local Christian band Endure The Fall. I think I'm getting better and better at using what I have to the fullest because this is starting to come together better than the other mixes i have yet to finish. any critiques/criticism is welcome. I feel this mix is solid, though for being an...

hey darthjuju would you mind PMing me about how to embed the tempo info in a midi track in reaper? i've been trying to figure that out for the longest time and the search function has failed me. both google and UM ): thanks!

I am gonna get a lot of flack for this, but I can safely say that I like sub drops that distort mixes. Not utterly and completely distorting the mix, but enough to where it introduces a nice crunch whilst maintaining a smooth low end. When I hear a sub drop like that, I can feel the energy it...

Same killswitch-y band as last time, but this song is less killswitch-y as the last. I know that the bass drops are FAR too loud to be good. and I think the kick may be a tad too loud as well. Aside from that, I feel like this is a pretty solid mix. Tell me what you think (: As a side note...

Hey, I'd just like to show everyone my success with this method of drum editing. My dumbass didn't save the pre-quantize files, so I only have the edited drums in a rough mix of their final product. Take my word for it, the drummer was pretty bad. not the worst, but damn near it...

I did a quick (i literally mean quick, too) run through of a song I'm working on for a local band. Seriously, best editing method BY far. Blows the semi/fully automatic method out of the water! I will post links tomorrow, as I am far too tired to post any right now. The quantization only took me...
