i forgot you abigail williams guys post here! haha, my bands supporting you guys, suicide silence and eternal lord in october, we're all looking forward to it, should be a good show.sorceron said:hes my drummer
Miasma was recorded with a dual rec and a krank revolution. In the mix we added a touch of an engle head for a little more top end. The whole thing was done to PTHD with an api 3412 and a vintech 1272. At that time the only real compressor I had was an empirical labs fatso. We mixed at trax east with Eric Rachel thru a neotek elite down to half inch tape.
The whole record is just two takes of guitar panned left and right, other then the overdubbed solos. Both players played all their own parts, rather then have one guy do all the rythmns. So you can hear two distinct players. One side has slightly better rythmn, the other side has a slightly tighter picking hand.
Nothing on the record was cheated. Nothing was copied and pasted or looped. Most of the drum takes are one take. Obviously there was some drum edits, but not as much as you'd think. There was no editing on the guitars or bass.
The whole thing was a party. Trevor was pretty out of his mind during most of the vocal tracking. Everyday would start with bong and vaporizer hits and tons of aderoll. By nightime drinking would start and we'd come in pretty hungover the next day and do it all again.
As compared to most metal records you're hearing a real band playing, not some dude that sat in front of a computer for a month lining up every note.

Mendel, you are talented and compose awesome music that I will never be able to make in this lifetime.
But I feel like hitting you with a hammer for what you do with whatever compression shit you have going on.

I wish I could man. But I don't have the brains to do so.Mendel said:well then help me
I hope Kazrog or OzNimbus or TheSweetener or someone like these guys who know what they are doing help you out.
if you have the L2 or L1 then try using the presets and see how they sound, its what i use and it sounds loud without pumping when using the "16 bit final master" and "hot CD master" (i think they are called), i think theres too low of a threshold on whatever it is you are using causing it to pump.

Better mastering would open up your sound.
And i always like to snare to be a bit louder than the kick, makes it more dynamic.

ok thx ! but wht happens what you guys are talking about about ? does the compressor cut the guitars off or something ?

Well, you use extreme compressionsettings on your master.
Make a new mix without compression on the master output and upload the song so we can listen to it. I'm curious how it will sound.
Making mistakes is learning.
Now give us a new mix!!
