    Mastering A/B of my band (mastered by Alan Douches)

    Yes I agree. They are really really good over there and we plan to use them again. We are stupid picky and had them do some revisions for us and and whatnot and it was still less than half as much money as what a few of the other mastering studios quoted us. Couldn't be happier, myself...

    Mastering A/B of my band (mastered by Alan Douches)

    Update: Dropbox suspended my account for generating "too much traffic" with this, so I have uploaded new links at the same location. Sincere apologies to anyone who went there and found dead links in the last few hours.

    Best Sounding Metal Albums of Last 3-5 Yrs?

    I have been out of the metal production game for a while, working mostly on rock music. What are some really kickass sounding albums that have been on your headphones recently? Any/all subgenres

    Penrose Stairs: Experimental Ambient Rock/Electronic

    Hey guys, already posted this on the Sneap facebook page but thought I'd post it here too. I know this is mostly a metal forum but thought some people here would dig this stuff and I learned a lot of good tips from this forum early on! My experimental rock/electronic band Penrose Stairs is...

    Need a guitar tone expert for industrial metal

    Try going straight into a DI with some distortion/fuzz pedals. Big Muff, Metal Zone, any of the black arts toneworks stuff or even cheap old digital pedals. it really depends what sort of industrial tone you're going for but lots of bands have used this approach to get massive, dirty, but clear...

    What level do you have your mix sit at before mastering?

    I'd be interested to see a poll on how many people here are using 32 bit. As a studio guy I rarely run into non-PT users but you make a valid point, a lot of people here are using cubase/sonar/logic/etc but I wonder how many are actually using 32 bit resolution. For these people I agree with...

    Recording DI Guitars with Focusrite 8i6?

    Keep in mind the type of pickup isn't the only factor. My ESP with a Duncan custom is louder than my g&l with a JB and the custom is lower output. Some guitars are just loud.

    Recording DI Guitars with Focusrite 8i6?

    People have been bugging API for years to add output attenuators to their preamps because of this exact problem. I've solved it in the past using a line pad before the converter, but to see this type of thing on an interface preamp where you don't have this option is just bogus. It drives me...

    What level do you have your mix sit at before mastering?

    Hi there, for what it's worth I was asking Mr. Ludwig about a session that was recorded in 24 bit, not 32. And since it was asked, it was fairly recently (summer 2011) Perhaps its ignorant of me to assume that most people here are using 24 bit, but of the various studios I've worked in/assisted...
