Crabcore? Screamo? Br00thulz!!11!

The final version is great! Lasse, can you tell us something about the toms? samples or mics? (they sound really good) If mics, what mics did you use?

it's a combination of both...toms are my Recording Custom ones (I posted the samples some days ago) combined with the samples of the same toms and another one I found somewhere on my harddrive.

mics were D2 on the racksoms and 421 on the floortom.
on the blended sample I had an aditional m201 on the reso side of the toms.



....
I first thought I'd automate the breathing down....but then I though nah, feck it, it's intense.....you think it's annoying?
 
sounds great, I would bring up the vocals 1-2dB but thats just personal taste!!!!
The mix sounds well balanced and epic!!!!
The snare/china combo reminds me totaly of inflames


Thanks
cool, cause in flames is what I had in mind for the snare.
I tried it with louder vox but somehow it just didn't gel anymore, so I turned them down a bit again.
 
great mix! love the bass. could you share any information on it? the bassplayer is actually a friend of mine :D he said he used your esp bass but couldn't tell me anything you did.

yeah, it was the good ol trusted ESP horizon bass....fantastic instrument.
I have the J Pickup at the bridge hardwired to the jack, so nothing in between, just that J pup.

The sound comes from two tracks of the sansamp psa1, the main sound is a slightly tweaked SVT style sound, compressed about 10dB with Safe Sound Audio P1 compressor after the sans.
The dirty one is also sansamp, but pretty distorted, then compressed (p1) and high- and lowpassed.

both are bussed together and treated with Comp and EQ (see Pic)


Bass
 
wow, already sounds extremely huge, and the mix is clearly SLAMMED, i hafta disagree with adding more ambience, that'd muddy everything up severely real quick.. (wouldn't it?) sounds perfect to me. vox are a bit crowded in the mix but i think that's appropriate for this, and also an after effect of slamming the 2bus...no? i don't hear any pumping or clipping EXCEPT for some of those tom fills. and my god, that bass. how's the PSA1 stand up to the bass DI driver? that's what i've been using with glorious results IMO. those drum samples, epic. the fact that you sampled those ... lasse > me. haha.

the psa and BDDI are equally good.
the psa is more versatile
