I made a short promotional video for a metal website and also made the soundtrack myself. I know the guitars are pretty sloppy, but it was 5 o'clock in the morning and I just wanted to get the project done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE-UXFwubfY&hd=1

Does it have anything to do with Mono compatability?

This is the birthday present I made for a very good friend of mine: Enjoy! :grin:

Then the clipper is set too agressive. I use clippers with mild settings on most tracks and two on the master bus -> no distortion

gclip. gclip. then gclip again. If by then not loud enough (which I doubt), put a maximizer/brickwall limiter on top.

Buy a cheap (used) drumkit, put Roland meshheads on (available only in 10" 12" 14" i believe) and build the triggers yourself, it's easy! Just google around and you'll find something useful. You could even try and build trigger-cymbals as well, but I'd recommend commercial ones. For HH, IMO the...

THX guys (I'm sure the old lady next door would like to thank you too :lol:) The bass (a 15 year old BC Rich) and the guitars (ESP MH1000) were DI'ed through a StudioProjects VTB1 into Amplitube 3 /w Ampeg SVX. You will probably call me crazy, but I can assure you that the strings on the...

Hey Guys! The old lady next door is getting a bit oversensitive lately, so I currently have to mix my stuff mostly with headphones :yuk:. So please could someone with decent monitors listen to this strange experimental stuff I'm currently doing and tell me if I'm off somewhere frequency...

Piggy from Viovod. :notworthy

I like ferox (free).

This is the sound of my default preset: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/704796/Space_drums.mp3 Edit: To demonstrate the importance of ambience, here's the track without ambient mics: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/704796/Space_drums_wo_ambience.mp3 .... and here ONLY the ambient mics alone (the...

Well, you can do many things with SD(2) you can't do in RL, but it makes things so much easier :) For METAL I usually do this: - Disable or greatly reduce mic bleed between all mics - Adjust ambience levels between close/near/far mics and ambience levels of all instruments. I have ambience...

Well you could quantize with a high resolution (for example 32 triplet or 64 triplet) and correct the mis-quantized notes by hand. I always record triggered drums in midi only. Makes my life easier. Drums: Triggered with DIY triggers Cymbals: Roland CY-12 HH: Roland VH-12 (?) ->...

When recording triggered drums, I correct all midi notes by HAND without grid snap to maintain a tiny amount of "human-ness". Yes, it takes AGES and your head is probably going to explode.

IMHO, ambient mics are one of the most important things for drums. I always mix in plenty of ambience esp. on the snare. It just sounds so much warmer, richer and natural than without In the SD2 mixer you can even delay the ambient mics a bit which can make everything really "3D" and can...
