30 minute metal song

[Hexer]

GREAT RESPECT to you!!! I havent heard the whole of it (still listening) but I really like it!

I have a little question: how did you make all the synth/ambient stuff? is that all keyboards? (sorry, I'm new to this)

 

[Mendel]

all synths and ambience yeah haha are done by me on my keyboard( yamaha prs 2000 lol ) . anyway on the 2 "interlude"tracks. the orchestra are done with edirols orcehstra. en guitar pcking bij me. and the sitar etc also done by me on my keyboard.

and here is a pic of the masterbus:

Well dude, in terms of compression, it sounds a million times better.... the song can actually breathe now.

That being said, take some EQ & a C4 to the guitars, drop the bass guitar a notch, & compress the drums again....

...then, GENTLY compress/limit the whole mix.

Ok, I'm generalizing here, but try engaging a Hipass filter on the guitars at 75-80 hz, then compress with the C4 from about 100-350-400 hz. Experiment. Do a lot of A/B comparisons, so you can hear the mud being removed.

As for compressing the drums... that'll be in part 5 of my article. It can be a tricky game, so please be patient.
