first one that jumps to mind for me, was a Rammstein song, not even the whole album, but " B******** " from "Liebe ist für alle da" is just so well glued, it's just the metal version of "Beverly Hills" by Weezer for me. Palm muted verses, huge simple chorus, great guitars and drums. Not even a...

i take sample of every kit i record, as i'm sure most do, i tend not to fully replace the toms any more, i'll clean up the recorded tracks, big low pass filter to get rid of as much cymbal stuff as i can, but keep the played tom tone in there, then use the sample for the attack/ high end of the...

valhalla vintage verb as mentioned is a great starting point and their "roomverb" is incredible too for close early reflection sounds on drums, great for hardcore or rock stuff if you want it to sound like room mics/kit mics, everything else mentioned i'd tend to dabble in too, cut the highs...

Totally in the middle of the road about him, like most people here, i love some of his records, some of his sounds are amazing, they may not have as much impact, be as loud or hi-fi but you can always tell it's him. He has carved out a niche and certain bands love working with him and suit his...

These for sure, Airwalk reflex, but with electric blue laces to match the trim, but i love pretty much anything airwalk, so comfortable. or more often than not, classic black docs for the sheer amount of rain and or snow we get here,

totally forgot about this book i was supposed to pick this up for a read, although i'm having trouble with that link, doesn't seem to lead anywhere :( EDIT:woke up this morning and it all worked fine, dont know what happened,

i think music is definitely art and a lot closer to to paintings or sculpture than say,literature, theater, tv or film, simply because paintings (or drawings or whatever), sculpture and music can be enjoyed without narritive (i love plenty of concept albums despite the concept or narritive too)...

not at my PT system right now so i cant give you specifics but a bit of googling should help you, you can extract a groove from something with more feel using beat detective then use the quantize tool to apply the groove to midi, could be more hassle than it's worth and i've never had to do it...

Currently doing a redesign ourselves, and i would definitely go for a bigger live room over CR , as long as you enjoy the feel of your control room and it sounds good, i wouldn't care about size to be honest, but when we start the build and get the rest of the money to got for it you guys are...

i have extremely waxy ear canals, one ear produces loads of ear wax and if i don't look after it i wake up not being able to hear anything in one ear sometimes, you can go and get them syringed (the metal water spray thing) but the doctor recommend to me that once a week i use body temp olive...

I have a degree in Music Technology and the sonic arts which is a science degree not an arts degree, but it is still absolute bullshit. I called a few studios six months before term started and i moved to the city where the university is. I got my foot in the door two months before i had done...

Had an hour at this earlier to get going, looking forward to getting it done when i'm less busy, great song

Some great albums looking back that changed my musical perspective and affected my life as music is what i do for a living. first metal album i ever listened to was Helloween - Time of the Oath, atmospheric for power metal. i got into more extreme music through this. Never listened to...

love the d5s i had a pair in my apartment for a long time before i moved them to the studio, mids jump out on them, i have them paired with a set of genelec 8040s and they cope well, i think everything sounds good on the gens so the equators are a good eye (ear) opener when i switch to them...
