For being a self-proclaimed "total-noob" your recording quality and mix is pretty damn good. I've been working on this stuff for almost a year and I still have a lot to learn.

Seems to me that you are likely clipping. If the clip LED on your profire is lighting up, then you're clipping. It depends which channel you are using on your profire to record DI. If it is an instrument channel, I believe the channel's gain is being amplified and this would be why you can...

Yeah, what Silvermaples said. I can't add anything else really. Pretty sweet guitar tone.

I'm sorry I can't critique it much, I'm less experienced than you are since my recordings aren't quite there yet, but I think your updated mix does sound better. The bass sits better.

Hey man, in all honesty I think it sounds good. It certainly catches the raw aspect of the performance, but I don't think it sounds bad. It fits the style.

Yes, I use GP6, but you can also control dynamics in older versions. Like the others already said, you can change the dynamics from ppp to fff and everywhere inbetween. You can also accentuate notes.

Brutal protip man! I'm gonna have to try this for sure!

I tend to tab out entire scores for songs using GP so the drums have already been completed, including dynamics etc... In those cases I export the MIDI and then dump it into SD 2.0. Otherwise, I have a Korg NanoPAD that I can just play everything into. Fun little device!

Holy crap, thanks for the reply! I knew you were on here Andrew but I didn't expect you to reply. I love the new album! Tell everyone in the band that a fan in CT gives you guys props. I'm going to see what I can do to recreate some sort of tone similar to what was pulled off on that...

Yup! The drums are DKFH. I slightly modified the stock setup, but not much. I don't know all the ins and outs of it. I've used it lately because it's far easier to tab out a song, drop the midi into DKFH and call it a day instead of spending hours recording my drum kit in the next room lol...

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I know it's a bit sloppy. I've been playing the drums far longer than I have been playing the guitar. I've been playing guitar for only about 3 years now. I can certainly add more mid range to the guitars, I may have taken too much out. I do have the bass guitar...

Hello Everyone, I've tried searching the forums for threads where anyone else asked this same question and I couldn't find anything. I am wondering how to achieve similar guitar tone to the Winds of Plague song Against the World off of their album Against the World. I love how chunky and...

I think saying the low end is nonexistent is an exaggeration. My mix had way too much low end earlier, so I suppressed the low end and boosted the 1-6kHz range with a wide boost at 3kHz. Even in the spectral analyzer on my master bus, there's more low end than the 1-6kHz range. Sure I cut...

My 2 cents... I agree with Harley_Barley's comment that the guitars seem to be most dominant in the mix. I also could not hear much bass guitar. I can see why he says the snare sounds like it's being played in a different room, however I do like the amount of reverb you put on the kit...

Yeah, potentially the cymbals are too bright. It could always be due to the types of cymbals I use. Like for my hi-hats I'm using 13" Sabian AAX-Fusion. My crashes are a 16" Sabian Pro-Sonix and an 18" Zildjian ZBT. My 2 main chinese cymbals are an 18" Zildjian ZBT and an 18" Sabian AAX Dark...
