EDIT: Sorry I'm a massive idiot, I didn't realise DI boxes needed phantom power. No idea how it turned itself off though, I've been away for the weekend and my room was locked... How do I delete this thread?

How do you guys pan this? I have a fast tremolo picking bit, over some chugs. Do you have all of one part on one side, and the other part on the other side, or one part 100-100 and the other 80-80 (or whatever-whatever)? Amps are different each side rather than different 'outside' and 'inside'...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/DeathcoreSong%28rerecorded%29.mp3 I need to redo the leads because they are sloppy as fuck. Also, I don't like the lead tones, and I can't get them sounding good. Any ideas for that, or the rest of the mix? Hope you like it :)

My band's drummer wrote some black metal, we recorded it and here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/joshsbm.mp3 I feel like i've got that old style sound of shitty recordings, but the transitions between sections arent as smooth as they could be... any ideas to get it smoother? Anyway...

Just pulled the trigger on a countryman before I saw this, hopefully it will save me money in the long run. Thanks for all the advice guys :)

Yup... :(. Is the more the better, i.e. should I get one with 2 megaohms, or is there a perfect amount for the impedance of my pickups or what? Any in particular you would recommend?

My instrument input on my interface clips unless I turn down the volume knob on my guitar. What would be a better solution, getting some kind of pad to reduce the volume, or getting a DI box? I'm leaning towards a DI box because apparently it improves the signal too? My guitar is a 7 string with...

So my instrument input clips on the lowest gain on both my EMG equipped 6 string and my D-Activator equipped 7 string. Apparently I can either build a pad for the instrument input: http://music-electronics-forum.com/attachments/16448d1323927545-interfacepad.gif or buy a DI box for the line...

Haha yes I am, and it is the Avatar kit, although I have a sample on the kick. I will work on humanizing the drums, they are literally all 127 :P The guitar DIs are rubbish because I've been using the line input of my interface as the instrument one clips on the lowest gain. Here is my signal...

My mixes are finally starting to not sound like shit :D http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/Djent2.mp3 and to compare, this was the first time I recorded it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/djent.mp3

Really happy with this but it could still do with some improvements. Let me know what you think could be changed. I didn't touch the vocals, guitar solo, or synth as they were already mixed, but the rest I did from DIs and midi. I don't think the lead bits sit quite right but I don't know how to...

Would it be something to do with pickup height or the electronics? The 6 string DI was recorded with the same interface so I doubt it is the interface. Edit: lowered my pickup as far as it would go and this is the result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/SquidMyNewDI.wav It sounds better, is...

Okay, I've found out the problem is with my guitar as my 6 string sounds great. It's a mahogany RG321 with EMGs. I recorded a short song on both the 6 string and the 7 string to compare: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/6string.mp3 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/7string.mp3 And here are the DIs...

My DIs sound shit. I thought it could be something to do with my mixing but having played with stem and DI tracks from this forum it definitely isn't. Here is a segment of a song by Nerve End (http://nerveend.com): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3059614/Squidhis.wav Here is the same song but my mix...

http://soundcloud.com/oli_hunt/newsong Done on cheap 2.1 speakers with a right speaker that doesn't work, so probably quite dodgy. Written while recording so some bits are cut up and moved around or looped, so transitions are a bit weird in places but I will fix that. Let me know what you...
