Finished the mix, would love to hear some thoughts on how it could be improved! Cheers, and many thanks

The drums are live, I listened to that clip i posted and something must've happened to the bounced track the Q strength defaulted to 100 and it sounds out of time. I made some adjustments based on your other comments, thanks man! https://www.dropbox.com/s/mwleip4qmrvmlkm/RagnarokNoodlyBit.wav?dl=0

Been at this whole mixing thing for about a year, I play drums and have gone down the rabbit hole of recording/mixing. So far it's been quite the task to begin learning all that is required of this hobby/profession (the former for me). I haven't really posted much here but instead been in a...

http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/threads/source-tones-recording-mix-critique.1137560/ I posted some raw drum stems I recorded for feedback on here a bit ago, while not metal they give you raw live recorded drums with 8 microphones to mess around with mixing if you find them useful.

Hell yeah, I'm really digging this album. The low end sounds so thick but clean on good monitors on the album mix, this will be great practice material to emulate that. I'm a drummer so I'm going to try my hand at adding acoustic drums to your tracks, nic pettersons a machine though so it will...

Thanks guys, gave me all I needed to know

I've seen this unit, can it be paired with the Motu 8pre for 8 additional pres linked together? Thanks!

hey all, I'm currently using a Motu 8pre FireWire to record drums with 8 preamps available. I want to add more inputs to close mic parts of the kit and add room mics, what 8-input interface would anyone with knowledge on this recommend me pair with it that is able to add the inputs needed to...

Sounds good, really dig the snare sound. What compressor you using?

By slow compression/release what we talking? I'm using around 30 for attack 130 for release on a metric halo compressor, a Logic FET comp on the bus for parallel

Really dig what you've got out of the shells, what kinds of compression/eq on those?

Feel free, I'd love to hear what you do with them. Mine aren't compressed as heavily as I might if there were thicker and heavier guitars on top, but I bet you could get a great ballad sound out of them with more metal-esque mixing techniques. I'm still figuring out compression, I'm not very...

Dang, that's usually the first thing I check for and I think I overlooked it with this mix trying to get the busses routed correctly. You're absolutely right I flipped the phase of the SN TOP mic and that gave it a bit more beef. The bleed is something I've really tried to improve on with...

Hey all, I'm a drummer who I've recently (in the last year) entered the fray of recording/engineering. It's been both frustrating and fulfilling, jury is still out on which I've seen more of at such an early point in figuring all this out. I've lurked on here and learned a ton from so many...
