I just finished up a quick mix on this, anyone have any pointers? How is it sounding so far? https://dl.dropbox.com/s/x6f3ptic49wykiq/rebuild%20the%20evil.mp3?dl=0

So here is my most recent mix, I have come leaps and bounds here in the last week or two. Learned a lot of new things, and I think it is paying off. I would love to get some critique on this mix, I use these stems for mix practice a lot. I reamped the guitars with my 5150 into a mesa...

This is a raw pack I found on the Sneap forums that I felt like giving a go with. I reamped the guitars into an Engl Powerball, reamped the bass into my Tech 21 Sansamp RBI, the drums are metal foundry cymbals and some of my own drum samples. All mixed with my Equator q10 monitors and cross...

This is a song I wrote and mixed in a few hours the other day. Just trying to practice with my new Equator Audio q10s. I will have to say, these monitors translate everywhere. If something sounds bad, the mix was bad in the first place. I am super impressed with these monitors. I am...

I'm trying to get a feel for these new monitors so here is a mix of some stems I reamped. Mixed down on my new Equator q10s. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/qgtt04k2jgqe34c/Latest%20Mix.mp3?dl=0

Ok so I have been experimenting with Ownhammer impulses with my axe fx ultra lately. I would love to see what everyone thinks of this mix, it's a cover of as I lay dying's nothing left. I reamped guitars with axe fx, reamped the bass with my RBI, and the drums of course were a combo of metal...

I ran into a scenario about a month ago where I really wished I had a DI box for capturing guitars. So I have been looking into a Countryman type 85. I have used my interface or an outboard pre up until now, I was wondering if there is really any advantage of using a di box over your...

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/h4weqslp9dnabcu/poe3.mp3 Amps were an engl powerball on one side, and a maxon boosted 6505+ on the other, kick was a beta 91 on the inside, and a beta 52 in the port of the kick, snare was one sm57 on top, some ev tom mics, and Samson co2 pencil's are the overheads...

I just bought a Lucid ada8824 to use for conversion over my Focusrite Saffire Pro40. So I have the ADAT all hooked up, this is where it gets confusing lol, the ADA8824 has dip switches on the rear of the box. I am not even close to sure how to set up the switches to get conversion through...

I am running a Focusrite Saffire Pro40 right now, and wanted to upgrade my conversion in my studio. So I was cruising eBay and just happened to have heard about Lucid before, and found a ADA8824 pretty cheap, brand new in box. So I snagged it to add to my racks. Anyone know anything about...

This is a little mix I did here recently. I am still not 100 percent satisfied, the guitars sound like they need a small boost. How does it sound to you guys? The band is Plagues of Purging too, if anyone was interested. https://soundcloud.com/nathanlimes/eradicate-the-filth-2

I'm working on this little death metal band called Plagues of Purging from Central IL, I haven't gotten vocals tracked yet, but I would like for you guys to let me know if you have any advice on the mix, I am working on it slowly but surely. And if you like it and have any questions on how I...

Ok, so on a whim I bought a bbe 328i sonic maximizer for 50 bucks. I had a producer buddy just rip it apart lol. Called it a waste of 50 bucks and said all it is, is a mid scoop for dummies. So, is he right, should I sell this sucker fast, or does it serve any purpose in a studio?

Ok, so I am a total gear junky. I have been looking at a lot of new gear, and I have been seeing a lot of talk about summing mixers and such. I am not really even sure how or what a summing mixer works. Can anyone explain the uses and how to's of a summing mixer?

Ok, I am not really a noob, I have been doing this for a while, but I wanna get opinions from guys with more experience than I. Ok, my question is, what is the point of having outboard converters? I have in my rack a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 and an ADA8000 AD/DA converter. I wanna know what...
