Just wanted to stop and post a quick heads up: Hippie's bassplaying on Human is fucking awesome. The reissue pretty much solved the problem of the Ric not being mixed high enough, as well as having drum and bass tracks that have some fucking AWESOME playing on them.

After an 8 month dry spell. Great success :D

Hey guys, I'm working on a mix right now of my band's new song, "Mind Disfigured." Right now I'm trying to smooth out a lot of different things that I feel are wrong with the mix or with the performances. Rhythm guitars were quad tracked, all with an ESP/LTD EC-50 with an 85/81 combo...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1186608/20100611%20Test%202.mp3 Any suggestions for improving the mix? Guitars are quad-tracked, ESP/LTD EC-50 with 85+81s straight into Profire 610 hi-z. 85+81 @ 100L/R 85 @ 80L/R -3dB Both are SoloC -> 8505 -> englv30morepres impulse -> EQ (with a lot of...

Hey guys, I have a question about drum programming that could potentially get complicated. My band is programming the drums for our second EP as opposed to hiring a session drummer. We're not the best at making them sound realistic - I'm just fiddling with velocities and trying to make it...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem here getting a tone that I want. Everything should be seemingly perfect. But I'm having just a huge time getting a clear, defined tone out of these DIs. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1186608/Mind%20Disfigured%20test03.mp3 Drums are SD2 with some...

Hey Marcus, Just installed my EMG J-X pickups tonight and something strange is going on. The output is extremely low. My DIs peak at like -50dB or some extremely quiet level around there. I'm almost positive everything is wired correctly. What could be going on? On another note, I had to...

MEGADETH founder and frontman Dave Mustaine has announced the return of original bassist David Ellefson (1983-2002) to the iconic multi-platinum group. This reunion is appropriately timed to MEGADETH's upcoming historic month-long "Rust In Peace" 20th anniversary tour which launches March 1 in...

Hey James, I was giving a listen to the new Sigh track that was released ("Prelude to the Oracle") and I love it. Songwriting wise, this is Sigh at the top of their game imo and in terms of the master that you did, I can't hear any pumping or any artifacts like that. One thing I was...

http://www.myspace.com/beyondmind check it out guys. this material was all relatively old material that the guitar player/vocalist and I had laying around in bits and pieces, we spent about 2 months arranging them into songs then recorded it all in another month or so. we're working on all...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some tips on how to achieve the excellent lead tone that Alexander from The Ruins of Beverast gets (especially on the latest album.) It's prominent starting at ~5:30 in this song. I don't have any idea how to attain that, to be perfectly honest, though I'm sure it's...

Mustis (keyboards; real name: Øyvind Mustaparta) and ICS Vortex (clean vocals, bass; real name: Simen Hestnæs) are no longer members of the Norwegian symphonic black metal band DIMMU BORGIR, according to a posting on Mustis' MySpace page. Both Mustis and Vortex were apparently either fired or...

Hey guys, I tried searching for this topic but didn't really find much. Maybe due to the terms I used, I don't know. Either way, here goes. We're doing a small piece as an intro, it's going to have a clean guitar going for about 15 bars and then a slightly OD'd guitar comes in over it...

Hey guys, I'm back again. Still working on this song, still working on this demo. lol. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1186608/20090821%2003%20The%20Spiral%20of%20Withering.mp3 You can skip to around the 3:10 mark, as it's just a clean guitar intro up until there. Guitars were 100L/100R: ESP/LTD...

Hey guys, having a bit of an issue here with SD2/Drumagog. I programmed my drum track in Guitar Pro, and loaded the midi into Reaper. Obviously, GP doesn't have much in the way of editing as far as the velocities go, so I have to edit them manually in Reaper's midi map. Okay, so far, not a...

Hey guys, need some advice on this mix. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1186608/TSOWTest2.mp3 Guitars are dual tracked panned 100L/100R (L and R have slightly different amp EQs): ESP/LTD EC-50 (standard pickups) -> Line6 Toneport UX1 -> TSS -> Simuanalog JCM800 -> kefir (Marshall 1960A V30...

Hey guys, I'm having a big problem. I'm working on another song for my band and finding a good tone is fucking killing me right now. The guitar tone is especially pissing me off, because I'm just not getting anywhere. Perhaps I just don't have the ear, I don't know. This is a rough mix, with...

Posted this in the wrong forum I guess.... Got a bit of an issue. Bandmate is recording his guitar parts through his UX1, going into Reaper with Podfarm off (or Podfarm set to the clean signal, whatever - I'm not well-versed on how Podfarm specifically works.) Problem is, his signal is...
