Video for a Pop/Punk band I recorded last spring

[Glenn Fricker]

Heavy emphasis on the "pop." This stuff is pretty much out in left field compared to what I normally record, but I'll work with anyone. Turned out, it was a lot of fun.

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by this video. ....and I was shocked to see a Hellraiser in it! I guess all my ranting & raving about Schecters sank in :Spin:

I must be clear: I didn't shoot this video, I only did the mix!



There's also a 720p version I recommend checking out.

Enjoy.

Great work man! I often see the metal guys making this kind of music sounding too heavy but you just nailed that Blink-or-whatever-pop-punk-sound. Well done!

 

[HeadCrusher]

Am I hearing Auto-tune glitches btw?

 

[HandsOfDespair]

This sounds ridiculously good man, one of the best mixes I've heard here.

 

[JeffTD]

Really digging everything but the vocal editing/tuning; sounds killer! Really love that snare in particular, mostly natural I'm guessing?

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

This sounds very very good!! Nice! My only gripe is the kick being too clicky, seems to have that typical slate click, otherwise, it's ridiculous! Congrats!

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Snare was a Pork Pie acrylic, drums were all natural except the kick, which was Slate "Green Day."

Also, I must mention, there's absolutely no reverb on the drums at all. Just an Sm7 out in the room smashed with a Distressor for a little Ambiance.

Vocals, well, hey, had to hit the pitch-correction pretty hard.

Killer mix mang!

Vocals, well, hey, had to hit the pitch-correction pretty hard.

Totally understandable - I think my main issue with them is the timing in a few areas. Really makes me wonder how this band is live.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

They're coming back in May for another album, hopefully they'll have some shows under their belt & a more refined approach to vocals. I do believe the singer is taking lessons, as well.
