+1 Then I listened to Shadows are security...deep deception.

Isn't that the album Sneap mixed .. An ocean between us is the one Colin mixed if i remember correctly

I think that's his point - Shadows rules the roost as far as AILD mixes go.

what a cunt

??

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

^ bro why are you switching my words around? I didn't say that

 

[JayB]

I had actually never heard AILD until the new album came out, and so far it's been one of my favorite discs in a REALLY long time. It's literally been the only thing I've listened to for the past few weeks, and it will probably be that way until the new Nevermore drops.

Powerless Rise is Awesome

+1

the powerless rise is much better than oceans though, however, shadows is a fuckin beast of a record, still a go to for a mix reference for me!

Not a huge CR (no much love for neve vr in fact) fan but I respect the man for his awesome work and dedication to music. But I'm still interested to hear about his dolby trick

my fav Colin mix is def Bloodthirst from Cannibal Corpse

nice one indeed

also HAMLET's Insomnio was killer

THE EXPLOITED's beat the bastards was cool too

not to mention the badass Machine Head / Napalm Death stuff

 

[Pipsymbol]

how about some carcass necroticism/heartwork stuff?

how about some carcass necroticism/heartwork stuff?

i don't know necroticism well but yeah heartwork is tits

but the album i mentioned are more representative of Colin's production style for me (and are the first albums i've heard with him producing)

 

[Pipsymbol]

well i grew up with carcass and colin played big part in their awesome tone.
i still consider heartwork guitar sound one of the best in extreme metal.

 

[NNotN-ENN]

I think one of my favourite CR mixes would be Gorefest's False even though I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that both he and the band are unhappy with it....

 

[Rex Rocker]

I like the mix on An Ocean a bit better than the new one, but the new one is also sick.

I tend to be on the fence wether I like An Ocean or Shadows better. I adore the humongous fat guitars on Shadows, but I don't know how they'd work with the faster stuff on An Ocean and The Powerless. I really like how the Mix on Shadows sounds a little bit more airy in the top-end, tho.

The Powerless Rise is just amazing (the music and the mix), although Shadows Are Security is a reference mix as someone said before, the newer stuff is more complex, and has a lot of layering (lots of guitars and vocals) but still sounds really powerfull, I really like this album

But I'm still interested to hear about his dolby trick

Where was this mentioned?

It's a really old trick throughout the industry for boosting the treble: engage the Dolby NR when recording, but not when playing back.
