So far i've been figuring out that most usb interfaces function the same way as my current gear. I always thought interfaces were JUST an array of I/O's and that people were using them in conjunction with internal hardware. Still trying to play catch up but I guess things haven't changed quite...

hey everyone, Gonna be honest with you. Partially thanks to the digital revolution(that I feel i am lagging behind in) I haven't bought a piece of hardware for my studio since 2007 with most of my gear coming from 2002. Now that I am updating all of the core components of my home studio I am...

Looking for feedback on a metal mix I just completed. One thing that's bugging me is how I tend to cut the rhythm guitars. I may be de-emphasizing them too much because I know they are there. Looking for some fresh ears! I used Omnisphere extensively in this mix and for the most part I am...

Bump. Anyone?

I just completed a mix a few days ago where I used various simulated mic positions to achieve a sound that would give the listener the impression of playing outdoors without actually recording anything outdoors. I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out (which is a rarity for me) but...

Hey everyone, Just posting my latest work on the forums in hopes of getting some feedback. This is an acoustic cover of Sonata Arctica's Flag in the Ground. I went for sort of an Irish Folk/Medieval sound with this one. Any crits are appreciated!

Here's an acoustic arrangement of 7734 I recently finished from Sabaton's Heroes album. Enjoy!

thanks! I was considering being one of the layers in the chorus even tho my singing is god awful. :) But how many vocal tracks are we talking about here? I was thinking I was just going to pile the tracks onto each other until they sound right then bounce them all to one track and keep...

Hey everyone, I am working on a power metal song and in a few days i'll be recording the vocals. I've never really done anything like this before so I was wondering if there was any tips I would need to keep in mind while recording them. Is layering pretty much anything goes? Just take a...

Unwarranted Stringcism. :) I know it's kind of a universal music thing to dig on bassists but where did it come from that bassists are lesser musicians? Slayer wouldn't have been slayer without Araya. Burton was Metallica's early guide and mentor. Geddy Lee was Rush and don't get me...

ohhh inappropriate dig on bassists. Turned off. Some guitarists are just really upset that the depth of the guitar is defined by the bass. Such a waste of all that ego. :)

Hey guys, I was recently talked with a composer who mentioned that he once worked with a piece that had seven layers of reverb. To me this seems insane but the piece itself was amazing sounding. Does anyone have any resources on the topic of layering reverb? I'm going to be messing around...

Why not? These guys did it. I drove my chevy to the ocean... but the ocean was dry.

Would it be possible to get a look (or a description) of the EQ you used on the sludge tracks? Or is it just a LPF and a HPF bracketing the lower mids?

I notice alot of people are against wideners in this thread. What about M/S Stereo bus compressors like Density MK III being used on a rhythm guitar bus?
