    ETID Influenced Southern Metal (5150, VCC, etc)

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21730445/FootlongTest.mp3 Tear it up! Most of the high end has been removed from the bass guitar apart from the bass break due to the particular bass being absolute absolute crap.

    Establishing a Studio in the Local Scene

    Tons of good advice in this thread. Another addition I'd like to include is make sure your demeanor is inviting and try to have as much fun as you can with each project. I've been arguably pretty successful in my local scene with my rink-a-dink home studio, but aside from whatever quality of...

    Techy, Dillinger style metal

    I think it sounds pretty dope aside from the vocals sticking out a bit. They seem to be above the mix a tad, otherwise I'm diggin' it!

    Ode to Ion Dissonance(VCC, X40, Metal Foundry, Brutality)

    Sure! Guitars are x40 > JakeAC5253 impulses with a crap ton of EQ. Admittedly, I just kept moving forward and the end result might have been accomplished with much broader EQ strokes rather than 0974098876986 small ones. Bass is a Squier VM 5string DI'd and split for low and high duties. The...

    Ode to Ion Dissonance(VCC, X40, Metal Foundry, Brutality)

    http://soundcloud.com/iceman-studios/trollop-wallop (How does one embed this directly? ^) Little grind/tech project a friend and I are working on and it's tribute to early Ion Dissonance. My ears are shot so it's probably a little bass heavy, but hopefully you guys enjoy it at least half as much...

    A band we recorded got signed to METAL BLADE!!!!

    Well, I'll say thanks, and then move right along to saying that Sonic Assault is far and away a better equipped and staffed/talented studio for the task! So stoked for both the band as well as Phil and Charles. I have no doubt that their take on the sonic experience for this release would slay...

    Hardcore mix trying my hand at Recto toanz and distorted Superior drums.

    I'm sure the toms have some clipping going on, but the drums themselves also have distortion blended in. Just went for something dirty, punchy, and loud!:p Thanks so much for the listen and the input!

    Hardcore mix trying my hand at Recto toanz and distorted Superior drums.

    Lemme know what you think. Did a favor for some local-band friends of mine and threw something together real quick for their intro. Experimented with lots of superior room sound, both compressed heavily as well as aux distortion and really liked how the impact of the drums came out. Wasn't going...

    Reduce bleed from snare and toms?

    This. Gone through multiple Ddrum triggers that either stop working, spaz out with crazy noises/mistriggering from the source, or just break physically from use. Granted, Roland are more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Triggers perfectly and hasn't had a single issue.

    Just ordered an iPhone 4s

    You won't regret it. Been on Blackberries the last few years with all my friends harassing me about getting an iphone. I always figured my tasks were somewhat covered by the phone I had (wrong). I've always been a PC guy and doubt I'd ever go to Mac for a computer platform, but I definitely see...

    Instrumental Rock Mix - Trying for that Putney drum sound and failing! X_x

    The only guitars that have reverb would be the center leads, otherwise it's probably just some mid range that needs to be tidied up that is clouding things. Drums are Superior 2 for cymbals, a Superior 1 hi hat, and Avatar toms. Snare had the Superior 2 Black Beauty Snare, the "Switch" snare...

    Vildhjarta - "måsstaden" (NEW album streaming now!)

    Mix critiques aside, I really dig this band. That's coming from someone who doesn't vibe on the Djent style much, too, aside from maybe Monuments and a couple others. Cool writing and interesting atmospheres painted. Good on 'em.
