One of the latest work I did (Rock with some Hardcore and Metal influences)

[Eduardo Apolonia]

Just want to share some of the latest work I did.
I produced, recorded, mixed and mastered.


Just for a different flavor here in the forum it's Rock with some Hardcore and small Metal influences.

Warning!!! There is actually a vocalist singing!!!

Sounds pretty awesome. Great job.
I'm really digging the vocalist.

Cool music + production! and thumb up for a post with a real singer!

 

[Danihell]

[Scott Horner]

Good stuff, dude! That radio single is pretty well written and catchy.

Come on Eddy...
You can't post this without pics, signal chain...etc.
Production aspect...etc.

 

[-Noodles-]

I'm totally digging vocalists at the moment too.
Did a 6 track EP for a band who used to have a screamer, but recently changed to a singer..

Good work dude.. I like the arrangement of the tracks!

He is a great vocalist, his only problem is that I had to be constantly telling him to sing lower , all his melodies tended to be always at very high registers. Contrast was needed.

Thanks. It feels great to work with real singers
This band has 2 vocalists, the main one that screams and does backing vocals and the other one that is the guitar player who does most of the singing parts.

Muito bom mesmo.

Obrigado

Good stuff, dude! That radio single is pretty well written and catchy.

The pre-production and production had an essential influence on the final result. We worked a lot on all songs.
I can say that most of the original songs are almost unrecognizable against the final versions.

I don't have much pics of it but I could almost write a book about this album
Let me know what you would like to know

As I said above there was a lot of work involved to get the songs to the point of the final version, arrangements included.
Nice songs you have there too.

sounds sick eddy!!!

Thanks

Finally have time so let's start:

Recording:
Witch drum kit was used? Mics and preamp?
Bass is a di and amp combinaison i suppose so what bass/amp/cab/mic/pre/comp was used?

Mixing:
Any para drum compresion (fatso or anything else)?
How much hardware involted?
Space wise did you used more verb or more delay?
Any 2bus compression involted?

And a tricky one: do you think you can achieve same mix totally itb?

I used my Sonor Designer kit with 2 snares (Tama Bell Brass and Ayotte Keplinger)
If I remember correctly the mics were: U87s, KM184s, 421s, 57s, 414s R121s, D6, Subkick
Preamps: API, Neve, Chandler, Crane Song, Tube Tech, Manley
Bass is a DI + (shame on me because didn't had time to reamp, long story...) IK SVX + Sansamp plugin + CLA Bass. Can't remember which comp I used on bass, possibly Distressor and 1176.

Mixing:

Any 2bus compression involted?

A lot of individual Drum compression, parallel compression, bus compression, Room compression
Bus was Neve 33609, Parallel was ADR Compex.
A lot of hardware was involved. Possibly +30 rack processors, It was a nightmare
Used a lot of delays and reverbs. PCM42s, Roland SDE3000, Bricasti, TC6000, PCM70, Sony DRE777, SPX2000 + plugins
I had 2 Bus compression, if not mistaken SSL 384.
Due to time constraint I also had to mix it to "Mastering processing" so there was EQ and even more compression on the 2 Bus.

And a tricky one: do you think you can achieve same mix totally itb?

I don't think that I could get the same ITB but wouldn't be night and day.
I also used a lot of plugins.

Thanks for all this answers Eddy

Here is the video of the 1st single.
(Don't forget to see it in HD)



On this song, from about minute 3:39 till the end is what I call a very good Bridge to Chorus to Ending evolution, production wise.

 

[AboutBlank]

REALLY digging the drums, awesome!

A new video they did of the last song, kind of an hidden track.

Filmed at their rehearsal spot in a saturday afternoon...Random shit!

Watch in HD!!!
