Let me know what you think. Didn't have time to fully mix it. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20400847/Creature%20On%20The%20Wing.mp3

The drums sound as if there are nonexistent... or maybe somebody hitting a piece of cardboard. Liven them up! Push those low frequencies in the kick and give that snare a nice THWACK sound.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20400847/Makena%20Sample%20Song.mp3 After quitting my band almost two years ago, I've decided to start back up again. Nothing serious, just for fun. Anyways here's a sample of the intro. Thoughts? Mixed through headphones and then did the whole 'play it...

Not a whole lot going on with the tone. Cut out at 400hz and 4k and then boosted a little at 6k. That's really the only EQing I did. Most of the tone comes from the amp. I just picked really hard and palm muted like a grandma at a rodeo on 4th of July.

First time using the infamous Chango drum samples. Also the first time using a different tone than my go-to Cali Treadplate tone. Mississippi Criminal - Treadplate Cab - Tube Screamer - Condenser btw, I did this for fun and because I was bored of playing Black Ops 2. Drums haven't been...

I was digging the snare and kick tbh. I like the very meaty and reverberant sound that the kick puts out. And the snare has a nice thwack to it. I'm just over the typical Kick 10 Snare 11a routine :zzz:

I'm not typically one to do this, but I was wondering if anybody has the newest WIM Chango kit and would be willing to share. I don't feel comfortable enough dropping $50 without really knowing how well these samples will do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks :Spin:

I typically use multi-band compression when mastering, and regular compressors on my tracks. I'll have to give that a shot. I used to use barely any distortion but then my guitars were lacking that oomph that is needed. Back to the grind!

He doesn't quad track anymore. He did that for Relentless, but that's the only album I know of. He stopped quad tracking because it's too much of a hassle and is unnecessary unless trying to achieve a certain sound or layering for a chorus.

So I listen to a ton of Joey's mixes and I've noticed with a lot of the more recent ones (Emmure, Asking Alexandria) the guitars sound very distorted, like the gain/drive was just driven up the wall. Whenever I seem to do this, the image of my mix becomes blurry and cloudy. When Joey does it...

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20400847/rough%20mix.mp3 Mixed it, listened to it in my car and hated it. Made some adjustments and I got this. Haven't listened to it in the car yet haha. Let me know what I should change, please :]

All you do is route everything to the same stereo bus and print it to one stereo audio track.

HOLY BATMAN JESUS MOTHER FUCKING AN ANTEATER, that made me giggle like a twelve year old girl. No shame.
