    How to make Metal Drums survive through Mastering

    Hey guys, Currently trying to master a Death Metal/groove metal mix that i have made, and was trying to get the Drum sounds close to the sounds from DevilDriver's album Pray for villains. But when i pass it through the Multi-band Limiters, it starts pumping the crap out of the tracks when i try...

    Best female-fronted metal bands?

    Dont believe nobody's added Alyssa White Gluz from the agonist. Wont say that vocals are epic or anything, but definitely great scream and worth a mention

    Need help, criticize my mix.

    Much better. Now just level changes are needed. kick level, 1-2dB less. Snare, sounds a lot like kick, need a snare with more punch and attack/brightness. otherwise, u pretty much nailed it.

    Need some professional ears to give a "Final Master" a listen.

    Dude, listen. Do u have the master session files, or you can say stems of the recording. ie. separate files, guitars, drums, bass. the recording is fine. its just that seems somebody has pushed the limit on the master. the recording is fine. its just that when it was mixed or summed, the...

    Black Metal mix

    good mix. both sound fine. might just add, cymbals are too thin sounding. might get a bit of amp simulation layering happening on the overheads to get them sounding more chunky. otherwise, well done.

    My new mix – carcass cover inside

    guitars and vox are fine, drums dont really sound death in a way. the floor tom sounds like a kick drum. snare is too compressed and no attack. kicks need to be changed or havto be loud in the mix. cymbals are too harsh and clean. you might want to parallel compress the overheads and put...

    Need help, criticize my mix.

    The performance is great. but mixing wise, i do have a few pointers. Guitar Rhythms sound good. But during the ending. the lead part needs to be miore punchy and more mids needed for that part, or maybe a 4 db level boost. Drumkit, snare and kick need to have more presence. too much room...

    Melodic death metal Recording- Need Advice

    Appreciate the Wav file submission, but dude, for the Forum it would be better if you put up a 320kbps Mp3 first instead of the 53mb wav. its way easier and faster to review.

    More Deathcore......

    Might add a wee bit more Mids on the Vox so they could maybe come out of the guitar frequencies in parts.

    Best mix I've done; Ryan/Greg Guitars... need as MUCH constructive crits as possible

    Dude, In my opinion, maybe a touch of reverb on the Vocals... not too much, the mix is great, but maybe a bit will help. have you tried passing the vox through an overdriven amp and mixing it a bit with the dry vox. might give it a bit more brittle edge. and this is truly my opinion, but the...
