    Kick and compression for a rock sound (SD 2.0))

    That's a bloody good tip, why didn't I think of that. :err:

    Kick and compression for a rock sound (SD 2.0))

    I'm using fairly heavy compression on the kick here. In the mix it sounds ok but on it's own it sounds... well, you be the judge. :) http://www.tonefinder.com/files/341362504031-SD3.mp3 I also tend to over-compress, and I can't blame my monitors for that (even though I would like to). ^^

    Anyone want to sing over this abomination?

    The last part sound like something that would fit the game "Day of the tentacle". :Spin: :grin:

    Lasse & Mago DI Pack (real drums on the backingtrack)

    Man, I love the DI's! Here is my take: http://tonefinder.com/files/2-BrutusMKII-lammertDIs.mp3 Amp: Peavey Windsor, with Brutus MKII Mod Cab: 2x12 with V30's Mic: SM57

    Peavey Rockmaster preamp, injected with the force of Asgard

    Decided to dust off my old Rockmaster and inject it with a few ideas to give it a more "modern" tone. Here is a short clip test with a 50w 6L6 power amp: http://tonefinder.com/files/16-rockmaster-ragnar666.mp3 What you guys think? It sounds pretty insane in the room, the recording...

    roy kahn: Leaving KAMELOT

    Sad news indeed, he was my favorite metal vocalist hands down. Maybe this guy could replace him?

    Chasing them live drum tones.

    :notworthy Man that drum sound gives me chills, bloody amazing! :kickass: Nothing beats real drums when you know what you're doing, and it seems you have the gift. I would easily buy an album only to hear those drums. :)

    Guitar Tone Competition IV!

    I asked the same question and here is the answer: "You can process the DI tracks any way you want, but you may not edit the performance." Anyway, thanks for those who made this competition possible. Has there ever been a bass tone competition?

    80's hair metal test

    Planing on recording a few songs ala 80's hair metal style. The main problem might be to get the right guitar sound but first I need to get some drums that will work. Here is a small test: http://www.netmusicians.org/files/74-80s-sndchk4.mp3...

    Annoying kick?

    Cool, I'll check that out. I could use a good limiter.

    Annoying kick?

    Might be a bit to much compression on the kick? It probably doesn't need any, and I might need to do a proper mix to evaluate the kick sound. Everything is always harder then I think. :) I'm not a fan of the slate kicks either but decided I would try and eq them like a madman and maybe get...

    Annoying kick?

    Having a bit of trouble with the eq on the kick. The kick is slate nr10 and my current eq is kind of insane:). My biggest concern is that it might sound a bit "farty". I don't really mind the "plastic" sound though. Here is a a clip: http://www.netmusicians.org/files/84-test.mp3...

    Traynor YBA-1 "metal" mods

    Did a little Bogner'ish inspired mod to an old Traynor from '75 that I wanted to share. This thing is a beast and they are pretty cheap too, which is a good thing. Grab one if you can! :) Clips: http://www.netmusicians.org/files/71-01-%20Traynortest.mp3 (Ola Englund's DI for testing) No EQ...
