I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I love the way those toms sound for that particular type of music. They wouldn't work for every type of metal album, but to my ears they sound amazing. I like the drums on that mix in general, but I think it's the toms that really stand out. Sounds...

http://soundcloud.com/mike-apodaca/mind-the-storm-snip The Band is named Siddhartha Amps are Splawn Nitro and 6505 on the guitars. Drums were programmed. Not my band but I recorded and mixed everything else. I worked my butt off on this mix! Thoughts?

Ok, I'm seriously considering getting an alesis DM10 kit for the studio which uses real drum heads. Mostly for metal because of the complex and speed and the accuracy needed. I already own a pretty sick 7 piece Maple PDP kit, with tons of Cymbals. But I've been thinking lately it might be easier...

In your metal masters? What Meter are you using to view your DR?

Many of you may already know this but I recently was told to try this on the last recording I did and it worked out wonders. When recording drums use a ribbon mic to capture the room sound. I onlyi put it about 3 ft from the kit and about 4 ft high but you can use it in all sorts of places. Big...

Whats your favorite drum heads to record metal with? Also list if you like coated or clear, single or dual ply. Currently I'm using Remo Emperors clear dual ply on an all maple PDP MX series and they sound great. Just wondering what everyone else likes. Especially for metal because so much of...

Up for grabs is a pair of Adam A7's. If your seriously interested in buying them send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you some photos of them. They will be shipped in their original boxes. Selling because I upgraded to Focal Solo's and I don't have room for these. They are in...

I cant find it, I remember there was a mesa cab in there and a marshall cab and some others. Can someone who rememebers it put a link to it? I've tried seaching but no dice. Pretty lame huh? Reason I'm asking is I have a chance to buy a Mesa Cab, its an older slant cab loaded with V30's but I...

I've got some Roland drum triggers, and no matter what I do, the trigger tracks are always clipping (not that it really affects the sound its more annoying than anything). I've backed off the little screw as far as they can go, but the signal is always too hot. I'm feeding them into a Firepod...

Anyone checked this out yet?

Typically I write a tempo map of the song with the gutarist laying down scratch tracks, then have the drummer go in and lay down his drums to the scratch guitars and click track, which is ALMOST ALWAYS screwed up some how. Then layer everything else on top of that. I've been thinking since I've...

Up for grabs is a 3 pack of Sennheiser e604's. Pretty good condition with a little bit of wear and tear from usage but no damage. They come with the rim mounts.If you want pics hit me up and I'll email them to you. They were only used in my studio. Reason I'm selling is that Ive upgraded and now...

Anyone use these for metal guitars with good results? I'm thinking about getting one with the Lundhall transformer, since judging from the clips it brightens up the tone a bit.

I know the popular thing to do around here is quad tracking, no doubt, and yes I've gotten some really good tones doing that. I also know that micing an amp and also recording the dry tracks simultaneously and then re-recording the dry tracks later is NOT quad tracking, but I was curious as to...

What are your favorite songs that you use to compare your mixes to when your mixing and mastering and why? What is your favorite Sneap song and also what is your favorite non-Sneap song? I usually use 2 songs, to get in that ballpark... My go to sneap song is usually off "Formation of...

Just wondering if anyone here works hard to get a solid mix on a song, then clones the settings to other metal songs then just adjust a little here and there. Or do you start fresh on every song? Just wondering everyone's technique. For metal clients I usually spend time mixing down one song...
