Hey guys! Chris Purvis here from the band Friend For A Foe (if you haven't heard of us yet, check out our music in the signature below!). I recently wrapped up recording, mixing, and mastering a VA-based band called Sessions and would love to hear what you guys think of the mix/tones used...

Thanks man! I hope it helps some people! Just be cognizant that this is by no means the end all, be all ... this is just what works for me!

Fixed a bunch of links that didn't display correctly!

A few folks have asked about our bass tone used on our EP (It’s free! http://friendforafoe.bandcamp.com/) and more recently on our very, very, VERY short clip called “SISO” (which FYI stands for 5150 which is the amp the tone is based off of on the Axe-FX Ultra...

Name: Chris Location: Washington DC Age: 26 Own Band: Friend For A Foe (Guitar, Programming, Producer) Occupation: Active Duty in the US Navy (Petty Officer 2nd Class) until next year then plan on going full-time with my band/production as well as be a government contractor if possible...

I'm gonna go with the Aftermaths (B) ... why? Because I've had a 7-string set in my Ibanez 1527 tuned to drop Ab since they first put them out for the public. They're phenomenal pups. Though they are considered "high-output" by BKP standards, they feel more mid-output since it's a very...

Started by just recording my own music as a hobby, then turned my solo stuff into a band ... then I hated myself for starting to get into production/recording more, because I didn't want to stop learning. That doesn't sound like I should hate myself for it, but when you end up recording a band...

Feel free to check out my band with any of the links in my signature. Hope you dig it!

:OMG: wasn't expecting that. Update ... so with the fact I keep bumping into this person everywhere now I had another awkward moment in the restroom again. No, it wasn't skirt-cock again (:lol: I still laugh at that phrase since that post), but for lack of better words, I was dropping a...

:lol: @ the other guy: If you're not a fan of the pitch, you can always adjust it in SD2's GUI. Keep in mind you need to adjust/mix the top and bottom mics ... depending on how you do that it can have wildly different sounds. More body to a snare can give it a "lower-tuned" feel even though...

Clever vid promoting a Microsoft offer (for you Halo fans): http://www.youtube.com/embed/qY6su9hYCRU I want that suit ...

I think it would have more traumatic if there was a chick I was dating and had been for a while, then it was time to have some pre-maritals for the first time in the relationships, and BAM ... skirt-cock. No amount of scrubbing with Ajax, bleach, and a brillo pad could wash the shame off of me...

Well considering I work at government facility in a secured area, I don't think there would be any hidden cameras like that haha. So help me god, if they gave Ashton Kutcher a security clearance, then I've lost all faith in our government. Skinny Viking, I agree with you 100% after having...

George, you're forever trying to get me to send you some DIs haha ... we'll have to do a side-project or something for when I actually get a DI box since if I just send you some bypassed tracks, they wouldn't be the best quality I don't have anything on the mastering bus, but I'm wondering if...

I'm actually not a fan of AD at all. The kits work for what they are, but it feels too limiting for what I need it for. To each their own I suppose, but I'm still on the side of SD2.0!
