    Impressions of this drum sound/mix (real drums)

    Pity there's some artifacts from soundcloud (even though I uploaded wav?) but not too bad.. The overheads are pair Behringer c-2 Toms internally mic'd with JTS cx-505 (no resos) Kick = slate trigger (mic'd originally) ..made an instrument with metal machine kicks Snare = slate (mic'd...

    'Releasing' a few projects today (instrumental covers and originals)

    What's up Sneap forum. Been a member here a long time.. never posted much.. always checked back every now and then. AE and producing are very interesting to me and I can get very absorbed in it, but probably realized it's not something I will make a big part of my life. Anyway, I've been...

    Complete songwriting - what songs pass the test of 'listening all the way through'?

    I ask this because I have roughly a bazillion pieces of music written that are 'unfinished'? half songs, basically. The basic justification I would say for not just getting it done each time, is that I don't want to be enclosed or contained in any generic structure from the start (all the fun...

    New Decapitated

    Heard 'The Knife' on the radio the other day. And you can also, assuming there is no location restriction... http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/racket/ Most recent show streams from the page there. Right about the hour and a half mark in he plays the new one. Sick! :D

    http://www.voxengo.com/group/drum-samples/ I'm on the mailing list so just got one about these. (one day I'll finally get the one I want "curve eq released for mac").. anyways They sound good to me. Needs way more cymbals though.. Interesting to me that the rutes sound better than sticks on...

    Amp/Cab problem. Listen and give your guess as to wtf is wrong here

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4924305/fuckedampquestionmark.wav Listen as I start with the master volume at minimum, and slowly turn it up, to the point where it starts falling apart and completely fucking out. (max I got to here was master is about 70%) This is a solid state Randall RH100 into...

    congratulations I am the 100000th slate/pod customer (+10000th Meshuggah worshipper)

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4924305/BenHendry_AbsoluteZero.mp3 Drums = slate hybrid I've made. It's a bit of Black and bit of Panty. Toms down tuned a bit. Guitars = pod bogner model with boost+eq stomp, cab off, into a catharsis impulse.. with quite extreme post low end control. I've been...

    Any of you fellow Aussies got the local insulation industry sussed out?

    I wanna know how/where to get an equivalent to the 703 panels recommended for bass traps. Hoping some of the work may be done :) .... ? From my brief inquiring a little while ago (at Bunnings, and a very small insulation company near my work), it didn't seem that something like that was gonna...

    I play and program/compose drums pretty wickedly - any money in it?

    ? I've got talent. I've got some gear. I've got spare time. I want some extra money... not heaps, just want to be constructive and for it to be worth my while. What should I do? what would you do? I'm not a business minded person... only enough to know there must be some kind of demand...

    People who know guitars - ID this body shape please?

    I bought this in a 'pawn shop' type place for next to nothing. I love the shape.. just love how it feels when I 'wear' it :) Just wondering if it is actually a cheap knock off of a known shape?.. or just a random bastardization of some others. (I know it's basically a Rhoads + something.. but...

    Metallica "stems" and drums only tracks on youtube..

    For example - Blackened drums http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=-vcBQOwP-Yg There's a few others like One without guitars, Enter Sandman vocals only. Are these from guitar hero or rock band or whatever? I want high q versions!

    Melbourne guys

    Where do you/the bands you work with record? What's the whole studios 'scene' like especially for metal. I mean, is it an easy affordable process to get a good recording done or not really? I ask cause I'm gonna set up a kinda ghetto.. but still pretty good recording environment in the...

    Will micing kick drums blow the horns in rehearsal room PA?

    Been having trouble hearing my kicks at rehearsal, I have kick mics.. so I brought them along last night. Set them up carefully.. no clipping on input, didn't crank the channels at all, and the master level was well below going into the red. Everything was safe as far as I could tell. It...

    Preferred compression pedals for guitar?

    Hey ya'll. I've never bothered experimenting much at all with compressor pedals in my guitar rig, but I noticed something I liked when using my PodXT as the input into re-valver mkII. (EMG 81-7[18v] -> Maxon OD808 -> XT -> macbook/revalver live) The only thing on in the XT was the gate, and...

    Problem: old impulse files I made not working with new system..

    I used to use Sonar + Pristine space for cab impulses. I made some of my own and that's what I tended to use. Now I'm using a Mac and Digital Performer and a free convolution plug in, but the ones I made don't work properly with it. They're really murky and distant. Admittedly it's a really...

    1st recording with new rig. Drums only. (Firestudio/DigimaxFS/NT4/JTS drum mics)

    http://www.upload.celtiaproductions.co.uk/uploads/benz%20drum%20jam%20mix%20ffs.mp3 It's just me fucking around on drums. As the title says it's the first recording I did with my new mobile setup.. my first proper setup really. Was kind of a test run, recorded in a dodgy rehearsal room...

    5400RMP SATA HD - fast enough?

    I'm looking at some laptops. I don't know much about this technical stuff obviously, but I know that 5400 isn't fast enough normally, or at least it's not ideal. But apparently SATA is a faster type of drive.. but it still says '5400'.. so it's a bit confusing. ??? Just to be clear, I want to...

    What happens to stereo tracks through Pro Logic..?

    ..and does anyone give it any consideration when recording/mixing? I'm mainly just interested in what goes on. The reason I ask is that my mate, who I live with, always has 'Pro Logic' on for normal music playback (the system in question has front L/R, rear L/R + centre, standard surround...
