That's really hard!! I never seem to get software comp to sound good on the master with more than 6 GR. Waves SSL sounds often sounds really weird with more than 4 GR. But I usually have lesser attack. API 2500 in paralell compression on master is a really good comp for some stuff.

Why do you "tune" the bass? Is it a bad performance or a matter of perfectionism.

First time ever posting a mix on a forum I think. But this song is just too good to be left unmixed. And now that I mixed it I might as well post it. Slightly boring mix but there is so much happening in this song so there's no reason overdoing it. No samples were used and no dogs got...

I watched that Joe baresi interview a couple of weeks ago. very cool guy and he has done some classic stuff that I used to love when I was younger(I still do but listening and loving music isn't the same anymore.it's an agething) He said something about putting a eq at the 2buss raising the...

The Slipperman distorted guitars from hell(or something like that) has a cool tip. He says that you should turn the master volume up until the cab starts to excurse. I don't know if that work everytime.

rendering vs freeze has its ups and downs. The good thing with rendering(in cubase) is that you can still mess with the track. As long as you don't wanna change anything to the rendered plugin. When I was using cubase I used to look at the printed effects like tracking effects. Things that you...

Woooo. Are you talking about male groupies. Or do you have real girls at your show. So your either gay(not that there's anything wrong with it(seinfelt quote)) or not metal at all. No real metal band has girls at their shows. AND.... You know your so called metal dresscode was copied from...

Great tips guys. Here is another.... If the drummer is doing a bit of fast drumming and at another part of the song plays slower. Automate more bass on the kick and snare at the slower parts to make these hits more powerfull. When the fast parts comes in take them back down otherwise you...

Yeah it sounds flat. You never get the real transient back. But on a paralell compression buss it works well.

Hi all. New guy here. Lurking since 07'. This thread is great. Thanks to all contributing. Some pages ago there was some talk about different triggersamples of kick and snare. Can someone explain what these sounds like and how they are used. Thanks

Sorry. Maybe "bring back" is a false statement. But if you even out the transients from a snare with a limiter. Then you have a kind of flat snarehit left. And if you strap on a compressor you can use the attack time to carve out a "fake" transient from the limited snare.

Around the same time that this magazine came out the other big swedish studiomagazine also had an interview with In Flames and Roberto Laghi. I think I remebered that there were some additional information there. Think I have that issue at home somewhere

Like this :) Sorry but it's very hard to say how your song should look like on a spectrum analyzer. It depends on genré, song, tracks, sound etc,etc. also... Limiters don't necessarily needs to go last. Sometimes it can work to put them before the compressor on snares and kicks. use...
