    Axe FX II Quantum Firmware

    I went from FW15 to Quantum (quite a large jump) and it sounds "better" but it's definitely not the life-changing OMG TONEZ people have been saying. I hate updating, and I was stuck on 15 since I was tracking for our album, and the last thing you want to do is fuck with your Axe FX firmware in...

    JENS BOGREN - my new hero

    I kinda figured he wouldn't be doing it if he wasn't mastering. He is really good about suggesting changes and such, and when I had a few suggestions he was more than willing to try them out. Highly recommended.

    JENS BOGREN - my new hero

    ^ Yes, I don't know if it's just for if you are paying for mastering, or if you can get it done on its own without using their mastering service (he is adding it on to our total project cost). They send a link to their file sharing website, you upload them, and he sends feedback. Quite quickly...

    JENS BOGREN - my new hero

    Just uploaded the final wavs I mixed for Jens to master! Love the feedback he gave me, I highly advise it for only 20 euros a song. The best part is, I was on the right track, he only had a few things for me to fix and they were all a gut feeling I had that I ignored. The bass needed to come up...

    Worst Guitar Tones in a Professional Recording.

    I absolutely love the bass tone on Come Clarity, but everything else leaves much to be desired.

    Can we Talk about Studio Fredman Style Mixes?

    ^ Exactly, lots of the gear he had before isn't used anymore but his mixes are still "Fredman" haha

    Can we Talk about Studio Fredman Style Mixes?

    They are definitely not sampled drums. Slaughter of the Soul has a great documentary with Fredrik Nordstrom about the production and tracking of the album, it's on YouTube. Really tight tracking and making the most out of the gear they had.

    Mixing output from Superior Drummer(47 audio outs)

    Sorry to go a bit tangental, but total noob question here: you can bounce out the ride/cymbals onto a separate track? I have been limiting myself to them being all in the Overhead track with the Hihat on a separate one. I always thought I was fairly well-versed in SD2 but I didn't know about...

    Superior Drummer Panning and Mixing

    Thanks man! That makes a lot of sense, don't know why I didn't think of that haha.

    Superior Drummer Panning and Mixing

    Hi guys! So I'm working on my first project using entirely ITB drums (usually all natural) and the stereo outs from superior drummer kinda throw me for a loop when it comes to individual drums; i'm used to a "Rack Tom 1" track being mono! Haha If I have it panned appropriately in the SD2...

    Your best and worst gear purchases

    Awesome thread! Let's see if I can remember Best: ---Profire 2626 I bought this in 2008 and this thing is still my workhorse. For projects I used to link it together with my friend's to get 16 channels for drums. This thing is by far and away the best bang for my buck ever. We use it live...

    Question about SSDs and DAW installation

    Thanks guys! Kinda figured it would be best to do that

    Question about SSDs and DAW installation

    So my friend is bringing me a 128GB SSD to spruce up my desktop. Currently I'm running everything on just a single middle-of-the-road 1TB HDD and I've been getting a lot of disk access warnings and errors, slow as shit playback and recording, etc. My question is should I install the OS...
