    How to make sub drops sound good?

    I find that gclip really helps prevent it from destroying the master, subdrops tend to have a big spike when they hit.

    Heavy

    Huge drums! Any tips on achieving such a huge kick and toms? Love the snap on the snare.

    Sounds good man!

    What's wrong with this snare?

    Using a notch eq to cut a few db at 400-450hz seems to do the trick (at least remove those nasty harmonics)

    Do you prefer real or programmed drums?

    When it comes to metal I prefer a hybrid approach, usually sampling the kick and blending a snare. Nothing beats real overheads though, but I really hate it when the drummer uses crappy gear and asks me if I can make his cymbals sound better... Rock music real all the way! Maybe some minor...

    Great vocals! I think Howard's highs are raspier but I dig hard!

    FREE EP - Deathcore/Metalcore split EP (2 bands)

    Guitar was 6505 through THD hotplate into impulses. Bass is DI with two tracks, one for low end and one for grit, then sent to a bus with an impulse. Can you be specific on how I mixed it? Just through my DAW

    Hey guys, just thought I'd put a download link for this split EP that my band (Of Blackest Oceans) did with another local band (The Dauntless). We are from Wellington, New Zealand. I know there are some issues with the production but I'm glad I did it all for the experience. Let me know what you...

    Drop G Deathcore mix

    Some of their other songs show it better, but I do agree on tunings =/= brutal. They have been talking about tuning even lower but it can hinder live performance and the clarity of the notes. Cheers on the feedback everyone, I'll be sure to rework some of the EQ now.
