Anybody got a site that has clips of ind. channels?

I know I am being too timid in subtractive EQing my stuff. I am wondering if anyone has a link to examples of a great metal mix of a full band and then singled out the individual tracks so I could become inspired to new levels of notching. I get the idea, but I think I could do with hearing an example.

i would but i don't have any form of bandwidth....

all i can say is use ur ears ....for distorted guitars there are so many examples of bands that have riff breaks where it' s just the distorted guitars alone...that should help.

for drums , use drums samples such as DFH or BDF as a guide on how to eq each drum kit individually .

bass is a hard one , all i can really say is when u're done locking the bass iwth the kick and geting it fit with the mix , when u solo it it sounds usually bad....

vocals are tough to say

i actuallly have stem files of a friend's band that paid a shit load of money to go to sing sing studios in melboure ( neve desk and SSL mixigin desk ) to record their single and it sounds fucken mint but i can't post it up here due to their rights and also because i don't have bandwidth ( i was asked to remix their song , thats' how i got the stem files...

Dunno what BDF refers to, but to my knowledge, Drumkit From Hell is almost all dry samples.
I only have first hand experience with the original DFH, and I'm sure I recall some EQ'd samples, but yeah.. I thought this should be noted, as one probably wouldn't want to use those dry samples as reference.

On a related note, I've seen what I'm pretty sure are some EQ settings from the demonstration clips that Fredrik Thordendal made ('Sonor of Metal' + '..licking what you've bled). And I thought those seemed to be pretty much the extreme opposite of subtractive EQ... it seemed more like 'originally, that sounded nothing like what I want' EQ.

i meant BFD not BDF... by FXpansion

if u have drumkit from hell . there are some eq and compression settings that u should try out ( located in the manual or something ) , of course the samples come dry...use the dry samples and apply those settings to the drum tracks and see how it effects the sound then try to understand the concept and apply it to ur own drum sounds. BFD and DFH provide some massive benchmarks to match into what kind of sounds u should be pulling out of ur drums .

sorry if i wasn't clear enough earlier.

Yeah, this is prolly where I am most annoyed.

For vocals, I usually puit on some Police albums or something and listen to how AM-radio-like the vocals are, just to remind my ears that power is more than EQ.

But bass... Especially metal bass.
