Hey. I have been on this forum for about 6 month now and I can't believe how much I have improved my mixing skills since i started about 10 months ago. I want to thank all of your people on this forum for being such helpful and giving great tips on mixing. It's an honor to be a part of this...

Im the happy owner of a ESP Viper Standard series guitar for about 2 years now, and I couldn't be more glad I bought it. It's a really sweet guitar! Built to last and imo it's one of the best looking guitars I have seen too! :grin: If you haven't tried it, you should really consider doing it!

Thanks man!

Hey. Just want to contribute with my In Flames covers! I have recorded all guitars and bass. Drums are programmed. Feel free to leave a comment. Pacing Deaths Trail: Only For The Weak: F(r)iend: Crawl Through Knives:

So I have tried to file it down a bit, but it didn't help. But after some more researching I believe it might be the string/strings that can be deffective. It's DR DDT 12, 16, 20, 38, 52, 60 and apparently a lot of people experience inconssistencies with this brand, even on strings from a brand...

I might take it to a pro and see what he can do. But I know some .56 gauge will work, though I would prefer some higher tension strings to play in Drop b flat. Read somewhere it could be the strings that doesnt sit very well on the ESP saddles, because they were too fat. I don't know, man this...

Strings are only a few days 'old'. But i'll probably buy that single string then. Thanks for the advice.

Already thought of that, but judging by how little the changes I make do to the tone now, I doubt that little extra room will help. :s Will other adjustments, such as the truss rod, bridge height/action have any effect on the intonation? If not I guess using a smaller gauge will solve the...

So I have some problems with intonation on my low E string. I use a ESP Standard Series Viper with stock bridge, string gauge is 12, 16, 20, 38, 52, 60. I can tune all but the low E string perfectly, my problem is when I pick the octave of the low E string, it's too sharp. So I have moved the...

Well, my only option is reamping and its still a bit new for me. I got no clue on how to get more life in the tone, I have tweaked it for several hours, tried some saturation and EQing. :( I know what you mean, but I think it's because my strings on the bass are too floppy, maybe I need some...

Ok, I have made some changes now. The bass is maybe a bit too loud now? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5491715/In%20Flames%20Test%2002%20%28Imbow%20Mix%29.mp3 How do you deal with getting a decent commercial loudness without clipping?

Ill turn those up. I recorded the DIs through my POD, but the amp is LeCto. Ill try a different setup. Thanks for the tips.

I already did that, but i just used the Cracky Metal Kit.

ok, but how can I make the drums sound better then? and not that 'plastic'?

So I'm currently working on a cover of Crawl Through Knives by In Flames and I need some opinions/critics on my overall mix. I just bought SSD EX, so I don't know all the features yet, I have just raised some room mics on the kit and some EQing and parallel compression. How can I improve...
