Thank you for the samples Mr Sneap!

I did a quick recording just to try out the kicks and snares, and ended up with something that I most probably stole from Arch Enemy, ha ha! Don't know which song though, does it ring anyones bells?

Here it is: http://fredrikgroth.com/archthing.mp3

thanks andy!!!
great stuff!!!
Can you tell us how do you mic/eq/comp the kick to obtain that metal tone?
It's superb I really like it, to me seems impossible to obtain a kick like that from a natural one.
Does Yamaha sub really help?

Maurizio

So Andy please help us explaining us how you can obtain that sound!!!

jjeezuuus christ that sounds good.

Thanks man. I just updated it with a little different guitar sound; those v-amp guitars often end up too "quacky".

I did the kick and snare in stereo so you had the stereo reverb on them slightly.
I don't normally do them in stereo but some do and I thought I'd give you the option.
Processing wise, I'm just eqing with channel strip (metric halo, www.mhlabs.com). The Audix D6 has a good top end but is a touch scooped in the mids, so I'm tending to shove quite abit of 1-2k back in there. You are also hearing the yamaha sub kick on the kick sample, though the audix does have a good low end, this seems a tiny bit smoother to me. It was a 22" birch premier by the way, glad you're all enjoying them.

Thanks Andy.

I really dig these! Thanks! Just plugged these into a little At The Gates style thing I did today, so you can hear them in context. Guitars were EMG85 into tubescreamer into PODxt, with Kazrog's patch.

Sup JCF buddy. Nice. I dig the song..

So Andy, what's your verdict regarding the guitar micing?

Will you be using the Audix more that the SM57 from now on?

Cheers for clearing that up man. Any plans to post any more samples? A full set of toms maybe?

Ha, and for once, this is the truth ! (like you know, sometimes you read someone telling things about a product and actually not even using it...) Now it makes me want a Mac even harder !!!

 

[Andy Sneap]

No I paid full price like everyone else on this one.

What about the snare, how much EQing did you do? Do you have to add a lot of top end to get that crack, or do I just suck? Also, do you filter off the low end of snares at all to get rid of boom/mud?

Thanks Andy, you rule.

ive been using that metric halo channel strip, the compressor on that thing and the eq can get you there for sure.

I'm with you Brett!
I'm starting to REAALLY hate pc's/windows for recording!!!
I'm even considering about buying a MiniMac and get rid of my AMD once for all!!!
At least it's a Mac!!! And I can use the awesome Channel Strip with it!!!

say Nevermore, Jeff loomis on the peavey site is pictured with a Triple xxx.
Live he never never used it!
I've seen just a movie of him playing a triplexxx at Nevermore's rehearsal space.

30 seconds of insane tech death metal stylings using the samples.

I made some effort to try and get a cool sounding drum mix here. Not perfect but I like it.

Someone put some riffs to that!
