    Decode the Design (for fans of In Flames, Sybreed etc)

    Hey guys, I have posted here before but I just thought seeing as we have a full-length track up I'll re-post for anyone who might be interested. We also just recently found a vocalist suitable for our music and we have more recordings on the way. Check the link in my sig to listen and find...

    Proof that In Flames sucks:

    I think they blended the two styles of music really well. The clean vocals are killer, some of the best I've heard in ages.

    POD TONE

    Sorry to bump this, but I still can't get over how nice Kazrogs tones sound by themselves. I tried using them in a mix last night and couldn't get it sounding right at all (superior 2.0 for the drums). I tried to apply Andys C4 settings into ReaXComp for my guitar tracks (I did four tracks in...

    Rate my mix - Decode the Design track

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/986849/Chaos%20Lanes%20snippet.wav Just a quick clip of the impulsed guitars. This is a podfarm dual tone with the cabinet settings still on, then it's had some recabinet impulses applied. Thoughts?

    Rate my mix - Decode the Design track

    Anyone? Have started playing around with podfarm + recabinet and awesometime impulses. Guitars are sounding better but now feel a little bit too "distant" in the mix even when they are loud.

    What do you use to program drums?

    Does anyone here program their drum midi inside Reaper? While using Superior 2.0 as a plugin inside Reaper as well? I'm normally using GP5 to program all drum parts and then edit the velocities in FL7. But I want to switch over to Reaper completely (drum programming, synth programming etc).

    First mix with ozone

    The mix sounds really fucking cool man. What DAW/recording host are you using? Cubase? Also, what tuning are you in? Aflat? Tell me about your guitar/pickups!! I must know it all! Haha :rock: I play in a polyrhythmic/polymetric metal band and we're trying to find a tone for our recordings...

    Hey guys, I'm the guitarist and songwriter for my band Decode the Design. We're a melodic electro influenced metal band in the vein of Sybreed, In Flames, Raunchy and Breach the Void. So far all our recordings have been done at home, using Superior 2.0, Nexus and a Line 6 Toneport UX1 (only...

    Decode the Design - Future to Fragments teaser clip

    Haha yeah I haven't done too much, the bass kick got some compression and EQ... Levels are all a bit funny. It was intended to be a rough recording to aid the writing process, as the new version of the song isn't finished yet.. BUT.. when it is finished I will do the best recording/mix possible...

    Decode the Design - Future to Fragments teaser clip

    Hey guys, just been doing some demo recordings over the weekend for some new material, the takes are a bit sloppy as I was writing/recording at the same time, but would be great to get a second opinion on it! :kickass: The mix will be greatly improved, currently synth is slightly too quiet in...

    Check the last song from my band Hatecode (lots of industrial synths)

    Love the music bro! Quite individual, I can hear influence of In Flames/Soilwork/Sybreed/ETNA but you don't sound similar to any specific band. Fucking cool!
