Oddly enough this was bounced at -8RMS, but I accidently left the master fader up about 1 db, so hence the clipping. Other than that, there is no clipping in it.
Thanks Charles. The snare is indeed 100% real. There are no samples blended in any of the drums other than the kick. What I did do is a bunch of parallel tracks to the snare that were very very drastically processed in different ways. I think the single snare actually ended up being split into 4-5 different tracks.
Please more specific information on vocals processing, sounds amazing.
this sounds perfect for this style and this band, I think you really nailed it. Guitars sound awesome, snare is awesome, kick sounds enormous. My only very small critique would be the toms do sound a little boxy, maybe just a couple small surgical cuts would help, but even still they arent distracting, im just nit picking.
I love how the guitars are so even in frequency and volume through the entire song, especially changes from chords to bendings and stuff.
They are literally locked, no movement AT ALL.
Although I'm scared you're gonna say automation, how'd that shit come about?
/ I should add that I'm really, really not liking the drums. They're good, but just really the opposite of what I make my drums sound like. I'm kind of wondering, since you where using the real deal, why'd you make them sound so very, very processed? There's tons of compression, really aggro-highend and stuff, way to much for my taste, way to hot.
