    Use one song's mix as a reference for the other songs

    Hello guys, this is an issue I've been trying to solve for a long time. I'm mixing an album of 11 songs. Let's say I mix a song and I'm happy with the results. Since all the songs have the same tracks, is it possible to use the same volumes of my original session and apply them to the other...

    Metal track mix

    Hello guys, I'm mixing this track for the forthcoming album of my band. I think the voice is too low and maybe the bass is rumbling too much. I need some input on the results of this mix. Any help or comment would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

    Melodic death metal mix!

    Hello again, I've been working hard on the new track of the forthcoming album of my band. It's been a hard work since the drummer and the bassist left the band.

    Transfering cassette to digital format

    I have a lot of old cassettes and, for some weird sentimental reason, I want to trabfer the music to a digital format. My problem, what I cannot figure out, is how to split the stereo signal coming from my music equipment, and record it on my audio interface. Digidesign M-Box 2 only admits mono...

    Recording bass with guitar amp?

    I just recorded a song using two channels for bass, one that goes directly into a DI and the other that goes thru my guitar amp, miked with a SM57. What do you think about it? Too much growl?

    Recording bass with guitar amp?

    Hello, I recently read in a book that a great way to have an extra bite on the bass (especially for busy mixes like in death metal) is to blend the original clean signal with a pinch of a distorted bass signal. So, the idea is to split the signal using a Direct Box. On side goes directly to Pro...

    Tube preamp for tube amp?

    Hello, I'm willing to buy a preamp to record my guitar. I'm planning to use two dynamic microphones on the 4x12 cabinet. So, since the head is all tube, I wonder if the right chose for preamp is one that have valves on it. Or... should I avoid it and go for the solid state? BTW I play death...

    Suffocation cover: "Blood oath" (Brutal death metal)

    Suffocation is one of those bands I never put to much attention to. Just before a concert in my country I took some time to listen to their last record, "Blood Oath". The concert was brutal... a metal machine that slammed everybody with thunderous guitars and the powerful growls of Frank Mullen...

    Re-recording an album. New metal mixes.

    Hey there, I was on a band some years ago and we recorded a crappy 4 song album. It was great at the moment but, time has passed and I now think it's a dreadful job... but we as a band did a lot of mistakes like recording with no metronome or passing the guitar to the mixer without using a mic...

    Weak Boss Metal Zone MT-II

    Hello everyone, I'd like you to present an issue that's bothering me a lot: my Boss Metal Zone MT-II stomp box don't have enough juice to kick the amp when I'm in a gig. If I connect my guitar directly into the amp and use the amp's gain, sounds OK, volume is great but most times the...

    Slow tempo to transcribe song

    Hey guys, I'd like to transcribe an uptempo jazz tune so I was wondering if it's possible to slow the tempo using Por Tools in order to catch the notes easily. I've never used such functions and that's the reason I'm asking. Any ideas of what to do? Thanks in advance!
