Trying out those API's..... (Oz does Deathmetal!)

[Glenn Fricker]

Hey gang,

Here's a new mix I just finished, on a Deathmetal project. Well, it sounds like deathmetal to me, anyway. Hell, I'm old. Forgive me if I got the subgenre wrong.
Anyway, pretty impressive stuff considering the oldest guy in this band is only 17.

I wound up using the new API's on overheads, toms & guitars. I would have loved to try them out on the snare, but the kid hit it so fucking hard I couldn't get them quiet enough! So, snare went to the Great River.... I'll have to try it on the snare for my next project, a "tech-metal" group.


Anyway, the band is called "Tomorrow this Dies" and the song is called "I Should Have" Here's the link:

[kaomao]

great sound Oz!
so is it a 5150 or your dual recto?

 

[cobhc]

I have to say I liked the music till the vocals kicked in, I really don't like them, but not your fault there Oz, fucking amazing sounding drums/mix I'm really digging it.

Yeah, send me more reamping work!


Seriously, though, it's a 5150 on the green channel with the Fredman technique.

No sweat about the vox, dude... To each his own & all that. BTW, thanks for the compliment on the drums. I was trying to go for a modern sound with this one, as opposed to the 'old school thrash' sound I normally work with. I can't completely take credit either. The kick is a blend between Andy's sample & one of my own home-rolled ones. Everything else on the kit is 100% real, though. The snare is a Pork Pie Big Black Brass miked with an i5 on top & C1 on the bottom.

dude this is metalcore!
the mix is awsome, especially the guitars
youve really got deicide style vocals goin on there

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Ok, you've got me. I have no idea how to tell deathmetal from metalcore. I just kinda lump everything with screaming/grunting vocals in the the 'death' subgenre. Remember, I'm the old school guy.

 

[Nebulous]

Holly crap dude! Abit different to what you normally do haha. Nice work on the mix and production. If anything I'd say the vocals are a little loud, or just cut through abit too much.

 

[Downtime]

Sounds great!
Can you tell which reverb you use on the vocals?

I'll have to try it on the snare for my next project, a "tech-metal" group.

Really looking forward to this one.

Haven't tried the Fred technique on single guitars.... The kick was a mixture of Andy's (mixed low) and one of my home-rolled ones with the drummer from Dreams Destruction playing the kick (mixed high)
