Working with professionals

[NNotN-ENN]

Heading on Tour with Krisiun and Dawn of Azazel soon too!

I might be able to catch you at the Hobart show if all goes to plan (hopefully I'll be shooting photos if I can get there).

I've done live sound for a reasonably iconic Australian band called The Angels (they at least have one song that a good portion of Australia should know, for better or for worse) and they seemed to think I'd done the best job of their whole tour which was a nice compliment (though I think at this stage of their career, they might not be playing the premier venues still). Helped out a bit with Psycroptic, but they're just a local band anyways!

I played shows with:
Walls of jericho, maroon, to kill, narziss, hand to hand, scars of tomorrow, do or die, final prayer, time has come, morda, nine, path of no return, the spyke project, as we fight, nueva etica, a traitor like judas, the destiny program, himsa, maintain, I.O.U. , teamkiller, waterdown...

and lots of more in the last 4 years.

I know these bands arent pantera, slayer or......iron maiden, but there are some names I´m proud of, because I´m realy in the metalcore/hardcore thing.

In mai I´m playing with BURNING SKIES.
Someone of the band is member here, isnt he?

Walls of jericho were totaly NICE!!!!!Loved it to hang out with them, do or die were totaly wasted
As we fight are super cool!!!

 

[-Noodles-]

Done a fuck-ton of Glasgow bands, and my primary job is working in an Academy (Glasgow). The venue is 2,5000 people capacity. (FOH / Monitors / Rigger)

I've also done FOH for a bunch of gigs and clinics; Billy Cobham , Paul Gilbert , Stu Hamm, Buddy Whittingdon , Doug Whimbish.

Recording wise;

I've done a bunch of LPs / EPs and Live sessions (some big, some small). I've got a list somewhere, .. but no-one of any real mention (yet!).

[For the UK people - just done a session with the new incarnation of Drive By Argument. They're now called Atlas Skye).

Never recorded any "known" bands, but my band has played with a few bigger acts, God Forbid, Arch Enemy, Chimaira, Hatebreed, Unearth, All That Remains, LoG, Hate Eternal and we played with Anthrax when they had the "Among the Living" lineup tour a few years back. We're playing with DevilDriver next month, too. We had some dudes from some smaller signed bands record vocals on our first demo, and we know some local dudes who were on Metal Blade and Prosthetic, but I doubt anyone would know them here. Demiricous is one, they recorded thier first release with Zeuss, their second with Eric Rutan before MB dropped them...The other is Year of Desolation, who tracked their Prosthetic release with Jamie King...I think they've been dropped by Prosthetic as well. Thier guitar player, John, now plays with Woe of Tyrants (Metal blade). I installed EMG's in an Ibanez for him a couple years ago, lol. We played some shows with them as well.

great thread, I didn't know we had so many experienced sound guys/techs/players in these boards! I, well have played in many bands in many cities in Venezuela and recently toured Colombia with one of my current bands, but no big names down here. Plus I'm still noob on the live sound/recording thing, been a bass player for about 5/6 years which isn't that much either

My banda defintly not pantera

 

[StefTD]

never played with someone that big or even recorded them-but our first show was with a band called Macbeth.
they exist since I think 23 years now, played there 20th anniversary show that day and they've been one of the first metal bands in the DDR.

Cool guys, they had like a 2,5 liter bottle of Jack Daniels and that thing was empty before they got on stage (5 guys).
Gonna work as stagehand, soon, a friend of mine does that alot and got me a few "connections".
He was a tech at a Rush show a few years back and hated Neil Peart due to the work he had because Neil wanted a drumkit that could move 360°.

 

[Aaron Smith]

I haven't done any majorly significant work on any big name projects, although I tracked the overdubs for the "Year Of The Voyager" DVD, and also the Loomis guest solo for Warrel Dane's record. In fact, he was sitting on my bed when he played it

 

[Melodeath]

I can't even find more than one local band to record a year, let alone "big" bands. Wtf am I doing wrong.

I know the feeling. Local doesn't even exist where I'm at, closest bands are about 3 hours away. It's fun trying to get them to come out here. I've been lucky to get 6 a year. Probably help if I didn't suck.

 

[Melodeath]

Yeah. Well, I assume it doesn't help that I'm at college in a different state for more than half the year. There is sort of a local "scene" here, though.

You'd think I'd be able to get a bunch of bands to record during the summer, though. Funny how life never works how you expect it...

Ah wicked - did you end up coming along to the show? That show was rushed as, fucking Jetstar made us around 2 hours late or something like that. Rushed as!

Never heard of The Angels but Ive worked with Psycroptic before.

I got booked to mix Fear Factory for their August show, but thats now been cancelled. Would have been good on the CV, ha.

 

[jangoux]

Well, not metal, nor rock, but JJ Jackson (a Jimmy Hendrix pal), Mark Lambert, Nilson Chaves (a 'famous' brazilian popular musician) and this piece of crap (recorded some crap for this song, mixed, mastered, and edited some stuff of their newly released DVD) : [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6UQgjFW-y4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6UQgjFW-y4[/ame]

After this video you guys can ignore me forever on this forum.
