So much infrastructure is dealt with on a local level. I live in San Diego, and honestly I think the infrastructure is a little better in the more rural areas. The streets in the more metropolitan areas of SD are shit!

Well just wait until they repeal the ACA, 20 million people lose their insurance, insurance companies stop awarding insurance to people with pre-existing conditions, they lose the ability to have their children on their insurance until the age of 26, and ZERO is done about the insanely...

I COMPLETELY disagree with the electoral college point of view. That can and should be changed. This country is a lot bigger and the states have a much larger population disparity than they did when the rules were written. Hillary won California by a whopping 2.5 million votes. If just a few...

Ha! By thinking that they made the wrong decision for the wrong reasons??

Of course you speak in generalities toward what you perceive to be my exact demographic. Sure I'll go ahead and not take that personally. It is a fact that white people with less education and less income turned out in droves to lift Trump here. That is not a bigoted 'opinion'. I personally...

I can't begin to tell you how devastated most of America is right now. Trump lost the popular vote, yet will still ride in to the oval office to trample on everyones civil rights. The electoral college is a joke. The voting population of this country is made up of FAR too many uneducated, poor...

I know for a fact that Colin re-amped the Powerless Rise guitars with a 6505, Mesa cab, 57 and 421 mics. I saw the set up and got to take a look in the mixing sessions. He's just really good at dialing in an amp. There wasn't a ton of eq that I remember, mostly a few cuts in areas with...

I went with the Little Labs Redeye 3d. It has a pad, two inputs with varying impedance, AND is a reamper.

A lot of people mixing in this genre use heavy compression and limiting on the bass. Ermz summed it up really well in his mixing guide. A limiter IS a compressor, just with a high ratio (above about 20:1) so definitely experiment with different ratios and different compressors. When in doubt...

Needs bigger toms! :P Killer song man

I'll try and post a clip when I get a second! The pad is one of the nicer mesh ones from roland. Worth it though. It's almost silent in the overheads and it feels like a real drum. There is definitely a difference in the tom sound. A lot of the roundness of the toms makes it in the overheads...

These are nice man. perfect for blending in some ring, room and top end. Thanks!

I'll post up some drums I've been working on lately. Recorded at a pretty decent studio. The kick is 100% sampled as I just recorded the midi. 5 points if you can guess the sample! The first track has no samples on anything but the kick. The drums are mixed about 70% of what they'll be in the...

I just use a Roland kick pad, running to the stock Roland module. Send that midi out into the interface, then put the pro tools sampler (structure I think?) on the instrument track with a kick sample. I use structure because it has no latency, compared to trigger or the like. the drummers I've...

Yea I have not talked to ONE person who thinks this subscription trend is going to benefit them. Not one. The bottom line is that the companies will make more money this way. they wouldn't be doing it otherwise. At least with Waves, I have my platinum bundle and one or two things that I use...

Probably the best response I can give to this is for you to go watch Nolly's Creative Live on tracking drums. He goes heavily into how the kit, tuning, mic choice and playing have such an effect on the drum sound. Matt Halpern hits REALLY hard and consistent. To the point where almost every hit...

These days for metal I don't even bother recording a real kick drum. They're useless unless you have a fantastic drummer. 98% of the bands I track just don't have the time, money or talent to make natural kick drum sounds work. When I switched over to just recording midi from a kick pad, it made...

^^nice! I wonder how much of the vocals were re-done. Also wonder in the mixing process how much of the drum tones stay natural, if there are samples/ kick samples blended in.

Ha ha I hear ya. I've been able to strike a balance the last few years. I have a part time job that I do 20-30 hours per week, that allows me to record/ mix another 20-30. I have tinnitus pretty bad so the days of me doing looooong studio hours for weeks at a time are over. I just wish I had...

If you're a drummer, you'll probably want to go practice after you watch this. Haake is incredible. Also shout out for the guitar player wearing the slippers in the back. I'm sure he had to wear them to keep the noise down from tapping his foot the whole time. Does anyone have any additional...
