lolzgreg, I heard one of your mixes on your site. Are distressor's on the guitars? Sounds nice and full and a bit gritty but still even and controlled. Could be the guitarists hands not sure. An a/b would be awesome.

Thanks. That was a nice bit o porn. I appreciate it. The focus of my synapses firing off in uneven spurts is that I would like to add some more harmonic content on the way in when tracking heavy guitars. The addition of the actual 2nd and or 3rd order harmonics, just a smidge, is what I am...

How many of you all are using these and in what capacity? Guitars, vox, bass, snare? I have heard a few of Andy's mixes where the guitar harmonics are absolutely spot on and I am trying to get a little more of that in my recordings. Andy, do you use this each and every time or is it just a...

Groove fucking-tastic. Nice work.

Thanks man.

I am using Pro Tools and want to use Reaper. All my drums are in PT now. How do I either get them into Reaper to start editing or Rewire it to PT? Thanks, great tutorial. Really great. I am not liking BD as much these days and want something more efficient and to do what I ask it to do. This...

Andy, I heard you say, in a reply to one of the questioners on the live web stream, that you record some drums tracks with no click track. Question; how do you edit them without the grid? I know you can do it by ear but, is there some knowledge that you can impart on how to better edit...

Also, how the frequencies of the entire mix touch each other is huge. Everything has to be fine tuned to make space and room for each other. Are you chopping any lows out of the guitar? Sometimes a small chop can equal better clarity between other tracks. Also, the initial tracking counts big...

Andy, say you are mixing with your favorite 2 bus treatments, the thing is kicking ass. It is requested of you to get it ready to send to your favorite 3rd party squasher (mastering). Do you take the processing off the 2 bus and re-mix a bit in order to re-balance due to it falling apart without...

Andy, any word on the treatment of the bass. Did you use just the DI or re-amp? Any info. appreciated. Thanks, Keith

Or just put a little distortion on the mic so when they hit it harder it sounds more aggressive. You could use a distressor or a pre amp that you can overdrive the input gain just a bit.

You need the limited edition of the record to get the video stuffs.

I agree. I have been listening to this CD over and over. At first I thought it was really good. This thing has really grown on me. And now it is one of my all time favs. I have a group of reference mixes that I use all the time to check my mixes. Testament the gathering, and a bunch of other...
