PanterA Domination, all live, 1000 people Dime Tribute

[acappa]

Heyaaa!!!
I´m just cleaning tracks of the last show I´ve recorded, it was the Dime Fest in Madrid, Spain. In its third edition the people went completely insane, walls of death, continuous moshpits...buah, I was In PA area seeing all the violence around, my god! It was awesome, there will be a video of the show as long as the audio.
Well, for the engineers:
I recorded 16 tracks thru my Saffire 56 + Octopre: 8 mikes for drums, 4 for guitars (DI included), DI Bass, 3 tracks for vocals. I used direct outs from the main soundboard, analog Amek recall, good preamps. but outs are post eq and fader, and that was a big problem during the show (more than 3 hours of music).
But anyways, I think I will reach such a great quality. The clip:

Sounds like u had some fun out there dude

For the mixing part :

Voice is quite loud and the guitars a bit low compared to the drums.
Bass sounds fine with the guitars at the current level,but if you lift them you might wanna lift that too.

ARIBA!!!!

Sounds quite good, I would change the kick sample, it sounds like a fart :/ and the drums need a bit of quantization at the start if you can, but otherwise its pretty good.

Also your trigger is off sometimes, it flams with the overheads, look out for that.

Hey!!!! I remixed and synced with a video camera, enjoy!!

May be bass Is way too loud now.

 

[motomoto]

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

 

[Djabthrash]

nice !

 

[Teddyboy]

It sounds good! A few suggestions... I would lower the bass a bit,maybe put some slight distortion, I would change the snare,try something crackier, I would throw some more verb on drums (or raise the room mics) , in order to make them sound bigger and have more concert" feeling and raise the audience for the same reason. Check the Exodus trailer of the upcoming dvd to see what I mean.

Ariba!!!!!

FLOODS COMING SOON...

 

[Jevil]

Muy bueno!

 

[acappa]

Floods premix. It´s a 3 hours mix, and most of the time cleaning toms, snare, vocal tracks....this time I had the ambience track to mix with the rest and hope it turns it liveness up, DI guitars has also a bit of verb.

Dude this is really good. Only thing I have to say is the left guitar is really quiet compared to the right one, but other than that I really dig it. Awesome vibe you've got going.

I love the snare reverb! What plugin did you use for that? edit: what snare drum, too, I love it!

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Wow sounds great! Wish there was a little more crowd noise. Really sounds good for live, excellent!

Wel, mapex endorsed the show, so snare must be mapex, I don´t remember which model. The verb is one of the awesome TC Electronic Powercore, an algorytm from the TC6000, holy fuck! I´m in love with this verb.
It has just gate, eq and compression.

I had problems with ambience track, it comes from a camera, I had to filter the shit out, like 300Hz-9000 Hz, and I had some phasing problems. I automatized the track in the parts where there are less intruments, to hear the crowd, but I wonder how sneap mixes the crown in theire live DVD´s!!

Cheers

Quantization? Of LIVE drums?

No samples on the snare?! Good job!

Quantization? Of LIVE drums?

As I said, if possible.. depends on the amount of bleed in other tracks, but if everything else is DI..
