    Awkward guitar mid and smoothness

    ^+111111111111 I had the same issues with a dual rec and wasn't quite happy with tone, same ass pitchy mids soudning almost metallic in parts. To make a long story short, I almost sold the head, but I ended up switching from the v30s and using some different cabs with some G12k-100s and some...

    Angry and southern from Atlanta, Ga

    Holy shit! Awesome man! Love that southern heavy ass rock. That singer sounds like Andy from the old school Makeshift Faith band....Use to play with him and he has that Phil Anselmo type sound....So does this guy and it sounds great!

    slate virtual tape machine A B, with and without

    That plugin is pretty baller! As birdwazo said he didn't adjust the input or outputs so it probably wasn't hitting the tape hard enough to get a ton of obvious saturation. but yea I've been playing around with it since last night and it definitely adds to a digital mix. It's $249 but if you...

    Melodic hardcore/djent/groove metal? mix!

    I like the mix man, sounds like a bit is missing through the lows/low mids IMO. But yea the guitars sound super gained. It wouldn't hurt to try some serious lpf to 7-8k or more to get those cymbals meaty and more air to the vocals. Nice balance though everything can be heard and sounds awesome...

    I'm digging the heavy parts! Sounds really tight and nothing stands out wrong to my ears. Nice balance.

    Mentor Needed!

    Most of the guys here are working there asses of on projects and have very little time. To get on par, I'd suggest reading some books like the following links. This will help you achieve your goals faster and you'll have for reference for later use. There is a wealth of knowledge here so...

    Confused about vocal sends, aux's etc.

    I agree, you have to do what just sounds good. For me, I mainly compress on the track, then "Aux send" the vocals to a bus with Eq and a De-Esser. Then I'll "route" that bus to 2nd bus going through some slight verb and delays (100% wet) and only use that completely wet 2nd bus for mixing in...

    Chris Brown Djent Remix (Youtube)

    Not sure if this helps but you could probably dig up some tones that may be useable on the line6 customtone link... http://line6.com/customtone/browse/podfarm/ And here's a bass tone I pulled a ways back from Dandelium's thread/song. Haven't used it so I can't remember right off how it...

    how?

    Sounds like alot of the low end your talking about is coming from the bass set up. I say that because at 3:25 the guitarist is doing a quick solo point and the bass is still carrying the low end. It does sound like some sort of fuzz but I don't have much experience in fuzz so I can't say for...

    Gorilla Amp

    Yea, It's not the best in the world but just tripped me out. I think there's way too much crunch on it and not enough separation between the guitars, but oh well, it was a quick run and I couldn't wait to hear it in a mix lol!

    Gorilla Amp

    lol, So while my Dual Recs down I figured I'd experiment with some shit. I totally forgot about this little Gorilla amp (TC-35) I had in the closet. I've had it for like 15 years but haven't messed with it in about 8 years. Anyway, I figured I'd mic it up and try some riffs to see how it...

    Buzz Feiten Tuning System

    ^Same as above. I have it on 2 of my x50s but IMO, I can't really tell a difference between them or my other guitars. Before I did anything like that, I would upgrade the bridges and/or tuning keys. If you do get it, and change string gauges, then you'll have to have the nut fixed for the...

    Why does it pump?

    This could be a possible fix....I had the same thing on my laptop. Come to find out it had to do with the built in WAVE sound card that was doing the pumping. It's something in the audio system to give effects for if you were watching a movie, etc....More like an artificial enhancement....With...
