    How do you know THE MONEY TONE?

    If you mic at semi-low volume, try placing the mic a bit further away from the amp, like 1 foot. Might make the sound fuller and less harsh/fizzy. Was actually wowed the first time I tried this trick. Might also be that your amp naturally has a lot of fizz. I'd still say that the most important...

    Any JCM800 experts out there?

    I'm about to sell my Marshall JCM800 4211 100W 2x12 combo, (the dual channel reverb one, can't remember when it was made) and I'm wondering how much I should expect to be getting for it. It's been modded to switch between 100/50 watts, but my guitar/amp tech told me that it doesn't work that...

    Songwriting: How fast is inhumanly fast for a drummer?

    150 bpm 16th note blasts? That's pretty damn fast man, atleast for long periods. However, there are some drummer which are capable of that (brodequin, spawn of possession, abysmal torment other brutal death bands of similar nature (the hits get pretty weak after a short while though)). However...

    Programming drums?

    Guitar pro and export the drum track to midi?

    My Custom Warmoth Explorer Build

    Sorry to necrobump (or is ½ a year even technically a necrobump yet?) this thread, but was this build ever finished? It'd be really interesting to see the finished product.

    Metalcore mix! Tried my hand at an uber-clanky bass tone.

    I agree the bass doesn't really blend into the mix that well. Think there's something a bit wrong with the levels, can't really pinpoint what though. Guitar tad too loud maybe? Sounds sweet apart from that!

    Yet another 'how's this?'

    Mix sounds huge, but still super clear while being really loud. Awesome.

    Karhu - Inject The Infection EP is out NOW!

    Sounds sweet, what amp(s)? Digging the tone.

    Any of you ever give up on a floyd rose tremolo?

    Never had any problems with the FR in my jackson, and it's only a licensed one. I guess there's lots of lemons among the licensed FR's though, maybe yours is one of the bad ones? Or is it an OFR?

    Old Skool Metal

    Needs more low-end, sounds pretty thin as it is now. The kick also sounds a bit slappy and measly, might wanna fatten it up a bit somehow (maybe add some EQ at 60 Hz? I dunno). The same goes for the snare too, needs a bit more beef imo. Maybe some EQ at 150-200 might help. Otherwise it sounds...

    Blackstar HT-5 or Jet City JCA20H

    I have a feeling they both lack in the low-end department, I think that's a pretty common issue with low wattage amps. At least my HT-5 has nowhere enough low-end for my needs, I can't say that it's a ballsy amp really. I bet you could get some sweet tones out of both of those amps though...

    krank jr......80's mix

    Love the sounds, always liked krank tones. Awesome snare and kick too, are those slate samples? Mix is smooth and full, can't find any complaints really. Good job.

    Fast heavy DM

    I think the mix gets a bit crowded, during the fast parts especially. Also to me it sounds like the snare gets a bit lost in the mix from time to time. Maybe less/automated verb on the snare? I don't think the drums sound like suffo that much though, or, not more than you'd expect from this...

    Compression.

    I don't think it's killed with compression tbh. But the mix could still do with some work, sounds a bit dull ATM. The kick is too boomy, cymbals are too loud and the snare needs to come up a bit. Nor sure if I like the guitars either, they sound a bit unfocused and muddy, under-gained also...

    Mixing time, oldschoolish death metal song.

    Honestly, get rid of your bassist, those bass lines are pretty rubbish (unless they were made up and recorded on spot). Poorly played with some really odd patterns and note choices that don't even fit with the riffs most of the time. Or the bass might be severely out of tune. No offence though...
