    (Pseudo) Mastering for the first time!

    Hello, i was asked to master a Full-Length CD, and even though i have pseudo-mastered several times stuff from my band, it is the first time i decided to do some more drastic changes during the mastering process. I do not consider myself a Mastering Engineer, and i do it for free, but hopefully...

    Who is mixing new Arch Enemy?

    +3,14 I love this band (they are commercial but i don't give a f*ck), BUT: Lately, they repeat themselves (some parts are awesome but i get the feeling i have listened to some of the tracks before), and the mix is REALLY tiring. A more natural mix would be more than welcome, polished...

    First mix as an AE. (metalcore) Need some feedback.

    Thank you guys, finally some critisicm, bored of the "RAISE THE KIKZ" that the average drummer will probably tell you! ;) Hope someone else will comment too. (Ps. maybe i will post the other track we recorded when i finish editing/mixing it.)

    Newest mix, with a query..

    Considering your equipment it sounds decent! I wouldn't say the guitars sound thin, did you quad track them? Cheers!

    First mix as an AE. (metalcore) Need some feedback.

    Hello world! This is my first attempt as an "audio engineer" (i just started that's why i put in brackets) So, i upload this metalcore mix for you to hopefully give some feedback. Some info: Quad tracked guitars and programmed drums due to lack of a real kit. Snare and kick are replaced...

    Dumbest studio mistake(s) you've ever made?

    First demo ever recorded, imminent FAILS: *) Spent 1,5 days to find the best mic placement, amp settings and position of the pillows round the cab (used them because room acoustics/treatment was really bad, and they really helped us to improve and manipulate the sound) After 2 days of guitar...

    Really old PC.. What DAW/software to use?

    Hello! For the next few months i will be obliged to work with my old PC, an old Pentium 4 with either 256 or 512 (not quite sure yet, totally forgot) MB of RAM. What DAW/software should i choose? Would it be better to buy a used Sonar 4 on Ebay, or maybe a newer up-to-date version would run...

    Help me with my audio addiction!

    Hello! The ancient Greeks had a recipe for long, happy life: "Pan Metron Ariston" roughly translated as: "all good things in moderation." I wish i was reading about audio engineering as much as you do, but try to close your PC for 1-2 days! Cheers!

    Revolted Masses "Seeds Of Revolt" Demo/EP for free!! (Death Metal from Greece)

    You mean in order to sing like him, or in order to have a cool and unique last name? :P Thank you for your kind words, we are planning to have our first full-length CD mixed by a pro, (preferrably from this forum!), so our debut album will surely have the best production possible! Cheers!
