I got a copy of Live Apocalypse for free and I checked it out. Is Mike's amp really mixed so much louder than the other, or are my TV speakers shot?

Yeah, I thought Chris was mixed a tad too low, but how dare I nitpick such a rad mix.
I love how I can blast the fuck out of this DVD, and still add some lows for a maximum pummelling!

Are you watching it on a tv with stereo speakers. If it only has mono then all you'll get is the right channel making it seem like one guitar is louder.

Any idea what reverb Andy used on the drums on Doomsday Machine? It's got a bit of that cheap, dirty, linear sound like the Dverb. I'm still trying to get a hold of a verb that does that to metal drums. Freeverb comes close, but not quite cigar.

Krank it UP!
Watched a few songs from Live Apocalypse today (testing out my new monitors) and was again astounded at Andy's mix. From what I gather most people here record 4 tracks (2 per side) of guitars to get a nice full sound. However in this instance there would be only 1 track per side available yet the sound is still so full and solid. So how does he get it to sound so full with only one track per side. I have read that he reamped with a Krankenstein. I understand that reamping with 2 different amps per side might thicken things up a bit more than just one. Anyone know if other amps were involved? What was used on the lead tones?

Actually, i think they re-recorded the guitars at studio.
There's a moment in the video that Mike stops playing but there are palm mutes sounding. And NO, my video is not out of sync hehehe

Actually, this is a new technique that's becoming popular, you can hear it on the latest Dragonforce CD.

Welcome to today's world of fake live DVDs.

love the negativity here. You'd be surprised how much is still actually live on that DVD, couple of edits and touch ups, nothin that wasn't goin on when The Scorpions released Tokyo Tapes tho.

At the end of the day, if it wasn't for a few "touch ups" and the reamping/ sampling and it came out sounding lesser and/ or with stuff ups, just as many people would be crying about it. "Oh, my favourite guitarist/ drummer/ whatever stuffed up. OMG!"
Who cares, really. Props to all involved for having a great performance, a great sound and still maintaining such an intense, live feel to it.
If only Metallica's live shit shows had that treatment. The sound is so shit on those, but the vibe of the performance was awsome.
