    OT: Traveling to London any hang out tips?

    Hi Guys Been a while since I last posted but I know some of you here are from the UK. I will be out there on a vacation for a week come March of next year. Just wondering if anyone has tips of good record shops (I collect vinyl especially metal) and other things to see and do. I figure like me...

    A New Condenser Microphone

    4033 is decent 4040 is better but you are kidding yourself if you think all the SP mics are bad if you have ever A/B'd a Studio Projects C3 and a 4040 you will be floored at how much better the C3 sounds. No C3 or 4040 on this page but lots of good things to take a "blind listen test" to. Try...

    Obsolete Guitar Sound

    You are correct. I got the chance to hang out with Dino and band during the Obsolete tour. We spent some time the day before the show talking shop and such. What happened was during the Obsolete tour the gear trailer was broken into and Dinos Marshalls were stolen. This resulted in a I need a...

    Cables...?

    I know these are "audiophile" and not "pro-audio" cables but at a bargain price like this it is worth buying and fitting xlr jacks to it. Hell buy several pairs. I run these all the time... http://www.amusicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?sku=AAQEV8 :)

    Need opinion on a mix

    yeah the guitars are throwing the mix off balance the right guitar is louding than the left (look at it in a wav editor the right cahnnel is wayy off balance this will cause all sorts of issue in the mastering process). How far panned out are the guitars and how many guitar tracks are there...

    Arch Enemy-spinoff with Sneap-samples (mp3)

    what kind of guitar pickup config? I dig the track musically. I am listening to it in my HR824s right now and the kick and bass are really flabby and resonant especially in the double bass parts. I can see this farting out on most home/car systems. Great stuff man love to hear what you could...

    In dire need of your metal mixing advice

    Too bad Drumagog would solve the kick issue. Post up th samples and we can all mess with them and maybe save it for you. Oh and I just moved from So Cal to Nashville like 3 month ago ha ha. But I was there on biz all last week.

    In dire need of your metal mixing advice

    I need more info here. You are using Samplitude right? I am pretty sure you can use VST plug ins. You need Drumagog or ApTrigga then search the forum for Andy's kick samples or use some you may have. You should totally replace that kick. I base this opinon on the fact that you have tweaked the...

    In dire need of your metal mixing advice

    hahaha I figured that. Anyhooo Back to Bob's mix. Ok man now with out the Bass I have decided a few things. 1) The Bass tone is what is causing you too loose clarity in the guitars. They are so much clearer without. So you realy gotta work on the bass EQ so it does not compete with the...

    In dire need of your metal mixing advice

    Will you do me a favor (just so I can hear what is going on) and mute the bass out of your mix completly and repost the mix. I have a hunch the bass is your clarity culprit. I think you need to sound replace the kick with a much tighter and clearer metal kick too. But for now just post it minus...

    In dire need of your metal mixing advice

    Hmmm may not be phase then. Rad, the sound very open air and I dig that. Yep that is what it sounds like . Try setting the threshold at the point where the snare rests before the attack (usually like around -15db or so). Then set the gain reduction like 8:1 or so (this is very agresive...

    In dire need of your metal mixing advice

    Well it depends on what you are trying to get to "stick" out of the mud. If it is the snare (I keep losing it as I listen) it could be that the "room/overhead/ambient" channels (not sure what you used) are turned up too loud and the snare track is phasing out. Try flipping the phase on the snare...

    5150 modded!

    I am running my tubes at about 50mA like Bob (running his JJ's as well) and like the clips I posted above you can hear some really great power to the bottom end (especially on the Les Paul clip). I notice a difference in the amp after it is biased but it still sounds like a 5150 not a Mesa...
