    Blackstar Artisan 412

    Catch a charter flight out to Pony one day soon Ermz and give it a crack... Nice tight low end but a little bright as mentioned. I prefer the Series 1 cab for heavy stuff over the Artisan. Although we did end up using the Artisan cab for the Ne'O album.. I don't have a mesa oversize here...

    I'd love to achieve this particular tom sound. Tips?

    i'd start with big toms (as big as possible) resonant heads tuned slightly higher than normal,you may want to dampen them slightly. batter heads a touch past finger tight... big sticks and a big room or healthy dose of reverb... i'd say a touch of eq would be needed to gut the low mids. the...

    Kick Mics

    i'll usually take a 901 or a d6 live... i have to work a little harder to get the 901 sounding bigger but i prefer the attack for rock orientated bands.. the click on the d6 can get a little distracting. but for metal the d6 is so easy to get a good sound quickly.. beware the 901 wont fit...

    Eye of the Enemy debut EP (Peavey and Mesa content)

    yeh the tlm worked well just had to really watch that julz didn't get too close, about 2 feet back was the sweet spot.. the cleans on burnies were done with the SE gemini, seems to cut the "whinging 14yo sound" from his voice nicely.. oh and dont stress bout the "salvage job" stuff for my...

    Eye of the Enemy debut EP (Peavey and Mesa content)

    cheers for the props ermz... must say the mastered versions have come up really well (ermz, the engineer describes the mastered tracks sounding very "glued" but noted the lack of bass guitar hehe) will get you a copy next time we meet.. the vocals on weight of redemption were tracked with a...
