Drop G# numetal, and the band want's tons of bass.

haha yeah they are a christian band, but you are still correct. I came home from dinner one night to find a band sacrificing a squirrel to Satan outside of my studio hahaha

thats a squirrel in the center

bahaha! that is fucking incredible. i need to hear more about this.
 
Funeral of God seems to make a little bit more sense to me, Well all i can say I am Christian and it just seemes like irony because a lot of the bands that Brian records (in my eyes) seem to have parts in their lyric in which represent a Anti-God kind of mood to them, maybe i am wrong. I like the mixes though regardless of what the lyrics are.

Quick question to any one who feels like answering, When mastering a track how high is the fader for example fader is on 0.0Db and than apply plug ins to get it loud and all that jazz.

I did the mix a lot though, joey tracked everything your just mixing and mastering correct?
 
I guess that makes sense, but in a sense people listening to it like myself my take it the wrong way. But it sounds good though! Good job man!

I think they are going for that. Kids that know they are a christian band hear them and are like "whoa wtf?", then they start asking other kids or the band about the lyrics.
That's about as much "shock value" as you can get being in a christian band though haha.

The master fader is definitely always at 0.0

Yeah joey tracked it all and edited most of it, and i edited vocals, mixed, and mastered.

the mix ended up being a good bit different from what i posted here, so i'll post a full song once the band puts a new song up on their myspace
 
Sounds very very good man!
As others already said, a little more guitars and it will be awesome.
How do you eq the bass?

in this clip there is actually no eq other than a high pass at 40hz, and a little dip around 6k to take some click away. The main thing i use to shape the sound on bass is C4. The C4 settings i had in this particular clip really weren't doing much besides taking more click away(like i said, tons of bass). But in the final version, i ended up taking a bit out between 70hz and 300hz.

Thanks for answering my question.
I am deff stoked to hear the final mix for sure.
But since i know you run pro tools on PC do you find yourself running into a lot of errors as far as crashing and stuff, I am running my pro tools set up with vista. I think you use XP correct? any problems over there with XP?

Just asking because i can't get a lot plug ins to work like gclip for example.
 
First of all! Holy crap, the bass is awesome! And I actually like this song a fair bit! hehe! The guitars may need a bit more mid content somewhere, just to make them a little fatter and not as gritty. Just to smooth them out and fill the space a little more for distinction :)

I do have occasional problems towards the end of finishing up some of my bigger sessions, although this is mainly because i'll have up to 5 or 6 songs in 1 session, but it's never been something i can't work around. I had absolutely no problems on this Plea mix though, other than 1 single crash. I assume this is because the songs were on individual sessions.

Why do you put same songs in the in one session? Mastering purposes or what?

just way quicker for me to mix songs consistently. I don't have to mess with importing tracks and busses.

Since most of the bands i record are unsigned and on a tight budget, my methods have developed into a time efficient workflow. This doesn't mean it's the best way to do it, just the fastest way(for me)

I agree, with this actually. I know this is off subject a little, but how long does it take you to mix and full song of drums, like what is the most time efficent way to edit drums, I just use the quantize feature in pro tools, from over heads, than snare, than kick, than toms. takes a while any suggestions?
 
Have any more info on this album, Brian? I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of it after hearing the final version of The Eternal Female. Really digging the guitar tone. Vocals sound good too...

Are we hearing Slate drums + Joey's OHs, 5150 & Mesa OS guitars, Pod Farm bass? Do you know what guitar/pickups were used for tracking the DIs?
