Got Nickelback? (Real drums inside)

[Melb_shredder]

Hey guys! Tested out a new studio today hopefully to become my new GO TO joint for Drums. I don't really need anything special, I usually sample replace most of the 'metal' stuff I do. But here is a clip of Nickelback - Animals we did earlier today.

Kick is 20% Augmented by it's OWN sample and the Snare is 15% Augmented by it's OWN sample and Slate Z11a at -6db. The rest is completely natural, managed to get a Room mic in there too! It's just a quick job, but I'm happy with the potential of the place.

Enjoy

Sounds really good man! You should brighten and turn up the cymbals just a little bit, that's really the only thing I would change though. Good job!

That's pretty damn impressive sounding!!! PROPS! What kind of widening trickery is on the guitars though? I've been trying to figure out how to do that.

 

[Melb_shredder]

@Taylor - cheers dude, will do. I'm used to the more dense metal mixes I do so I thinned them out a bit much.
@ourloaf - no widening trickery at all haha. 2 instances of Lecto and both eq'd to hell and back also, both guitars are eq'd separately, not on a bus

 

[Melb_shredder]

So what do you think?? Given the tones so far, worth using this place on a more permanent basis??

 

[Melb_shredder]

Oh come on

Drums sound cool dude! I've always hated the lecto though lol

 

[Revson]

The drums sound great, I'd say the place is a keeper.

 

[Melb_shredder]

Cheers guys! I'll be trying it out on my next project soon and see how well it ends up work for a proper mix etc
So far though im pretty keen on it

I always wondered, is there a noticeable difference between EQing guitars separately and EQing them on a bus?

 

[Melb_shredder]

^^ I find that it does make a difference, but generally I don't go for a whOle different tone, just the nuances of both not being the exact same seems to make it sound a little thicker and different that's all

I don't always do it, on rOck stuff I wil, on the faster metal stuff not really

I always wondered, is there a noticeable difference between EQing guitars separately and EQing them on a bus?

if they are panned hard left and right definitely not.
with compression there is.

cheers

Hey man, I think it sounds great!!!

Is there any way that you could upload the raw tracks or the stems of this song? I'm a singer and I really want to improve my mixing skills and I want to test how my voice sounds when I sing in Nickelback-style...


Cheers
