    Old school thrash/death metal sound

    Mixing Theory 101

    Hello all, can anyone link me to a basic explanation of what mixing and FX are all about? My band's done some DIY recording and our bassist is going to mix it. He's done a music tech course so he knows his stuff but I wanna be able to communicate properly to him the ideas I have in my head and...

    Old school death metal big drums, wide guitar?

    Hello all, I recently recorded my band's EP, very DIY and tiny amount of gear but good results thanks to great advice from users of this forum! Thankfully a mate who knows what they're doing has offered to mix the recordings for us but for my own personal interest I'd like to have an...

    Recording bass with distortion

    Heya, does anyone have any tips for recording bass cabs with a mic? I'll be using a SM57. I recorded our old bassist by DI because that's what he wanted but the results were crap - scratches and scrapes all over the show and sounded weak in general. I've never recorded bass before with a mic...

    Micing guitar cabs with 2 mics

    It occured to me today that I could mic my guitarist's amp with 2 mics to try and get the up close crunch as well as the further away beefier sound...it's raised a couple phase cancellation questions in my head: If I follow the 3:1 rule, can I put one mic behind the other or have they got to be...

    Correct theory?

    Is the theory behind drum recording the same for guitar amp recording? - You can take something out but you can't add it in. E.g you could probably make a close mic'd snare sound distant with some effects, but you'd struggle to make a far mic'd snare sound close. I know that regardless of the...

    Overhead 101

    Cheers for the help dude! One last question, (I hope!), with another one of my special visual aids... You said your OH mics aren't the same height even though they're the same distance from the snare - surely that means the snare isn't in the centre and is more audiable in one mic? If you look...

    Overhead 101

    Another thing I don't get...I'm mixing XY and spaced pair together here but... If you excuse my lame drawing in Paint (I haven't included cymbals, just drums), I've drawn on the centre line through my bass drum and snare - where I've put the red circles/dots is where I see LEFT and RIGHT of the...

    Overhead 101

    Thanks for the replies thus far. Ultimately I'm recording my whole band death metal//sludge band and because of our vibe and it being a very DIY recording I'm gunna use old Obituary/Bolt Thrower albums as a production guide - it won't let post a youtube link cos i'm a newbie. Cheers for the...

    Overhead 101

    Hello all, this is my first post...please help! I'm doing some DIY drum recording soon and I desperately need an idiots guide to overheads! I don't what the purpose of them are - are they cymbal mics or are they kit mics or are they whatever you want them to be? And I'd ideally like to...
