Wish I could have got to hang at the tiki bar when Jaosn mixed our last album. No fair.:waah:

A scream is supposed to be loud. Your actual scream is loud and you want to then fake a scream for your music? Fake screaming, soft screaming, whisper screaming, quiet screaming is all wrong.... unless you were intending to sound like a fool.

Maybe you're right and the pod DI is even worse than I thought. Either way you will still be playing around with stuff that is not up to par. So say his DI gets him 50% to where he wants to be. Then say the type 85 takes him to 75%. Still not where he needs to be and just wasted the money...

^ this is a good idea when you are trying to trouble shoot. It can help you very quickly in determining visually what you couldn't with your ears.

I would suggest trying through the desk also. I always thought I needed to keep my DI signal as uncolored as possible until I purposely colored some bass DI parts through my aurora gtq2 preamps. The coloring was subtle and did not take anything away, it actually improved. Now I seem to always...

and definitely get a better interface. until then work what ya got

I use to DI guitars and bass through the type 85 a long time ago. It can distort easily with active pickups. I actually hate the sound of the country man now, ever since getting the REDDI by A Designs. I didn't know how bad all these DI's were until I used that for the first time. Do not...

Quad track unless the band can't handle it.

might as well toss some blame toward the sound guys

Yep Kirk actually played rhythm on one side too.

Hey dude! Thats awesome you're here too. Who you working on now?

Definitely no right or wrong here, looking for opinions of people who listen to metal on a serious level with the mix in mind. Just curious:rolleyes:

I understand where his original comments are coming from, not that I would agree with them. But I do not ever find the samples he was bashing useful in my mixes. Maybe instead of saying they are shit, say they do not fit your mixes. They do seem to fit tons of peoples mixes.

Jens Bogren is one I have not checked out. Thanks

Are there particular albums that influence this opinion on Colin? Would like to know if I am missing something
