Love it man! Is that you singing the cleans? The dums sound huge!

 

[Jotun25]

Hey, thanks!

Yeah, that´s me singing clean vocals (with chorus and all that) and also the growls. Glad you liked the drums!

 

[LosingReality]

What kind of processing do you have on the drums?

 

[Jotun25]

It depends on which part I process.

- Snare: I use cubase sx compressor, eq, bbs sonic maximizer to enhance bass, a bit of vintage warmer and puncher, a plugin from wavelab.
- Bass drum: very similar to snare, but applying different parameters.
- Hihat and cymbals: a bit of compression and reverb, sonic maximizer and eq.

I also play with the different mics EZD has, but I mute the bottom of the snare, I only use the top.

Hope it helps.

I love the music, as well as that picture on the first one. Goes great with "The Awakening".

Thanks, I Am The Fury!

The first picture is not mine, but the one with Monsters is a photo I shot on a work trip
