    McDSP 6050 channel strip

    Anybody using the McDSP? He came out with the 6050 Ultimate Channel strip a bit ago and it's on sale. You can get it for $179 at audiodeluxe right now. It's very similar to the Slate VMR. 10 different eq's and 10 compressors, some gates and saturators. It's on sale through June so I'll demo it...

    New Gojira

    I love it so far. I think I read on Pitchfork that the record was mixed by the band. Not sure if that's true? I know they're including a live dvd or something with the physical copies and THAT was mixed by them, but I dunno. I like this mix so far way better that the last record and Josh...

    What's everyone using for mastering software?

    And I'm NOT talking about the plugins on your master bus. I've used WaveBurner but I'm just not super happy with it. And my version is like 6 years old. Do they even update it anymore? When my bands can't afford a proper mastering engineer and I want to put together a cd with cd text, pq...

    What are you guys using for website hosting/ creation?

    Well the new year has come and I've decided to finally get a Facebook and a website to promote myself. I've been engineering professionally for over 6 years, and right now I have no way to give people a quick idea of me and my work. I always get asked if I have a website. I already stay fairly...

    Jamey Jasta Podcast

    Is anyone else listening to this religiously? Don't recall seeing anything about it here, but if you're even slightly interested in metal and hardcore you'll find an awesome interview with somebody. Favorite interviews so far: Scott Kelly, Michael Akerfeldt, Brent Hinds, Kirk Windstein, clown...

    Anyone else see At The Gates in LA last friday?

    Man I was so disappointed with this show. Had to come from San Diego to LA. Traffic, parking, blah blah. Converge was ok, but they only really played one older song. Concubine at the end as always. The sound at this show was atrocious. At the Gates I was SOOO excited to see. I've always...

    Anybody use the PT aggregate I/O for multiple interfaces?

    Yo, So I want to do a quick and dirty pre-pro session with a band I'm producing. We have an iMac running PT10 and an apogee symphony system. Drummer has an e-kit which i'd like to just hook up to MIDI and run through Superior. Problem is the Apogee has no midi in. Stupid, I know. I have in...

    How much do you move/ reposition mics to refine your sound?

    Lately I've found myself going the lazy/ quick route and just using most of the mic positions that I eyeball at first. The other day, after I set up mics on this drum set, but before I started recording, the drummer pulled the snare about three inches closer to him. After I noticed this, I moved...

    Need some help exporting Wavs from Logic/ Garageband

    Hey guys. So I have a client that recorded some sound effects for an intro to their record in Garageband. I need to get these files out of garageband and into Pro Tools. I have Logic but it's version 9, and it won't let me open the file. It says it was created by a newer version. I didn't see...

    Maybe mixing practice? Decent metalcore band, Kemper

    I'm pretty happy with this mix. Guitars are Kemper, Fluff Jim Root profile. Drums were recorded real and blended. Sorry for the Slate 12a snare. That's what they wanted. Mixed a bit of Fat city and one of cj's snares in there too. Kick is Cj's ultimate death kick blended w/ original. Loving...

    Alpha & Omega - No Rest, No Peace

    This record is fucking awesome. I think the mix is great. Anyone have any info on it? Their Facebook just said they spent time at Swinghouse. Full Stream here: http://www.revolvermag.com/news/exclusive-alpha-omega-premiere-new-album-no-rest-no-peace.html 'Burning Rope' in particular is killer.

    Opinions on this Death Metal mix? Kemper Gtrs.

    There's a whole huge intro that I won't subject you guys to, so I started with the meat of the song. Still having issues with the bass tone. It's been pretty hard to get anything decent out of. The band is a bit on the loose side, but not bad. Trying to keep the toms natural but he plays them so...

    Lost my iLok. FUUUUUUUUU......

    What a pain in the ass. I always carry it around to different studios so I can use my plugs, and I either misplaced it, or I left it at one and the buttholes who came in after me took it and lied about not seeing it. I've always been super careful with the damn thing. So LUCKILY, my friend...

    Anyone have experience with the Adam F7's?

    Need to get a new set of full range monitors to go along with our NS-10's. We can only afford $700-$800. So I was thinking: A used pair of Mackie HR824's. About 600-800 on ebay. Used pair of JBL LSR4328's. About 800 on ebay. New Adam F7's. Can get a new pair on ebay for $640 shipped. I...

    Shipping a guitar amp??

    How do you guys prefer to ship something large and heavy like an amp? I'm listing my Mark V on ebay and I've never shipped anything that big before. I can look up the weight and get quotes from ups and what not, but should I just take it down there to package it up? I wouldn't use peanuts and...

    Feeler - Mesa Mark V. New condition

    Hey guys, Thinking about selling my Mark V head and picking up a Kemper. I don't really play guitar in a band anymore, and never did with this head. It's been sitting in my room covered and brand new for 6 months. Only used it to record twice for about 5 hours at a time. It sounds amazing, go...

    How do you guys like your drum samples prepared?

    Scrambled? Over-easy? :) I uploaded a free snare in another thread ( http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/800765-free-snare-you-dudes-tcis-separate-room-mics-nice-studio.html ) and it seems people like it, so I'm going to start cutting up all my multi-sampled drums from different...

    Jet City Attenuator...

    Called the Jettenuator. Looks like a pretty bad ass unit? Has different impedance selections, unlike the thd, and some sort of mic sim output? http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/Daily/News/Jet_City_Amplification_Introduces_the_Jettenuator.aspx
