    Drum sound

    You're right man, I'm listening to a demo it sounds almost alike (the Circle of Contempt one). Gonna look at the preset to see what the "trick" is. ;) Thanks man. :rock:

    First released mix for a band, metalcore, lemme know what you think

    The drums sound awful. You should try using Steven Slate Drums for some nice straight out of the box metalcore drums. First of all, I can't really hear the snare very well. The kick is loud as fuck too.

    Drum sound

    Hey all, I've been into drum mixing lately and I can obtain a nice drumsound that sits well in the mix but I just heard the new Circle Of Contempt teaser and I'm really digging that (compressed) drum sound. At 0:09: Another example: I'm guessing this is done with a lot of...

    Epic/Deathcore/Melodic

    Ok some pretty generic riffing this was just quickly recorded to test some drum sounds. Mind you this is very sloppy played esp. the tapping stuff... http://soundcloud.com/iceemusic/akiraa2 What do you think? After listening to it I think the snare is not loud enough/not compressed enough...

    Trilian for both slapping and picking

    Yea so I might be buying Trilian soon. I started out as a bass player (now I play both) but I only got a cheap-ish 4-string bass and on my guitar I'm tuned on A#. I kind of got fascinated by the band The Arusha Accord, especcially their bass playing/sound: I want to record some demo's...

    Drop G Deathcore/Hardcore test

    Alright thanks. :) Yea I don't think this sine wave synth really works for it. I will record bass later.

    Drop G Deathcore/Hardcore test

    Yea so I used a trick being used a lot these days with all these low tuned songs. I used a Sinewave Generator en processed it like a bass, which didn't really make it a bass really but I guess it gives more impact then without bass. What do you think? I normally don't make these kind of...

    Prog Deathcore What does this mix need?

    I like the song, nice job, really dig these kind of songs eventhough I hate deathcore, the dissonant chugging adds some serious evilness. What you could do is: - Change the snare sound by compressing/EQ'ing/reverb/whatever or use a different sample. - Make it tighter! - Some parts are really...

    Second Axe-Fx 2 Metal Different Tone/Riffs - More Sneapesque

    Sounds cool... drums sound small? But I'm listening on non-balanced headphones (more bass) so yea... my opinion might be invalid lol. :muahaha:

    SO MANY LAYERS!!!!

    I like it a lot, also like the bass sound. Good job.

    First mix post. (strugis drums, omnisphere)

    Really dig it, indeed overcompressed, the drums... :) Nice though, I like the bass coming through the mix.

    krank jr......80's mix

    What sample are the kick and snare? I don't think it's Slate, I heard this similar(-ish) kick/snare on Blessed By A Broken Heart's record "Pedal To The Metal". Sounds cool haha I love 80's music.
