    Overwhelming in the start of mixing

    I'm just going to jump in to mention the importance of the 150-400 in bass, sure you cut places for clarity and want to leave some room for guitars but its this area that makes "bass" audible on bandwidth limited speakers. Not to mention this is where the "glue" with the guitars seems to happen.

    Obligatory album of the year thread

    Stray From The Path and Soilwork for me.

    POD farm Platinum .. users?

    I use it all the time for tracking, it's fantastic for that. As for being usable in a mix there are better options.

    Cool video for a band I worked with, something different!

    I recently got the opportunity to work with something a little different. Think melodic hardcore along the lines of Touche Amore / Pianos Become the Teeth. It was a lot of fun and they band just released this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0aNnIcB4co&feature=youtu.be Hope you...

    Best preamp to couple with Shure SM7b?

    I find anything slightly mid forward works well. I've had success with anything API or check out the A Designs Pacifica.

    Turns out a HM-2 into a Soldano SLO100 is a great idea

    That sounds like an excellent idea, might have to track one down!

    I think I'm starting to prefer unboosted amps

    I've never been a huge fan, I generally just hit the amp slightly harder out of the DAW than a guitar would normally. I'm all for a bit of nastiness in rhythm guitars.

    NEVE PRE-AMP

    I can vouch for the BAE stuff it's fantastic, vastly prefer it to the vintechs I've used. Edit: autocorrect apparently got the better of me.

    Will Putney - Into The Machine Episodes

    The "phase eq" thing with guitars is a great tip.

    Question: How to get that "Slappy" tom sound

    Damn straight, out of curiosity what distortion are you using? I'm running them through the input / output transformers of the compressor in my 6176 on 1/1 ratio or if I'm being lazy Decapitator.

    Jason Suecof - Pensado's Place interview

    It's almost part of the charm! He is normally a lot better than this episode though, his last episode with Jasen Joshua was actually very well done.

    Jason Suecof - Pensado's Place interview

    I thought Dave did a pretty good job considering it was so far out of his comfort zone. Didn't have any big "ahuh!" Moments for me but I will have to try parallel eq on guitars. I think it was a good introduction into metal production for those who don't know a lot about it. I think the best...

    Turns out a HM-2 into a Soldano SLO100 is a great idea

    A band from Perth called pending the silence, they're part of that whole nu-metal influenced metal core thing going on at the moment, think bands like Sworn In but really fucking angry. I decided to go weird on the tones to attempt to bring out some more of that aggression.

    Will post a mix when I actually get around to finishing it!
