I play grind. Some of you know this. I want huger than hell production. A massive wall of guitar - screams up front, snare cutting through the mix, distorted bass creating all kinds of chaos underneath. Like; www.myspace.com/splitter www.myspace.com/rottensound www.myspace.com/nasum...

Haha. FINE. Then I FUCKING CARE. Better? Seriously though, here in Aus drummers get heaps of shit if they 'fairy tap' or trigger.

You know what I mean. When a drummer cant actually play whats on the recording. It's a grindcore taboo. It is a great tool however.

Alright I know this track is a piece of shit so far, but I'll post it anyway. Heres what I dont like about it: 1. The kick drum needs a bit more of a defined sound, less boomy and more clicky/sharp. 2. The snare sucks, its remarkably unaggressive. Suggests on how to fix this would rule...

Yeah Derek Roddy, great drummer. His fills and blasts are awesome. Dont like how much he uses those bloody symbols those in that video series. Still not the kind of grind drummer I'm talking about. John Longstreth - another great extreme death drummer. The guy from Spiritual Dissection also...

Cheers guys I've been messing round with it. I might post the drums later today and get some feedback. Well... much more death metal than grindcore. Its a little bit of a fo-par to trigger or 'fairy tap' your drums in most grind circles - something I agree with. This use of drumagog isnt...

Multi... samples ey? I'll have to look into that. I know whatcha mean but how to do it exactly escapes me. I've had a bit of a qualm with the bit of gogging i've done making the kicks too mechanical. I HATE those bloody clicky, lifeless, thin kick drums!! Unforunately not every drummer can be...

Without a doubt mate. Unforunately the kick volume varies too much. Cant be helped. I refuse to rerecord for the moment. I'll have a go at using volume envelopes, but the sound leaking isnt the biggest problem really. And yeah, where possibly I wont use cheatagog.

Bah. Messing round with Drumagog 3.0 (I use Cool Edit sadly for mixing). Dont know what the hell is wrong with the thing, but even when I select another sample to use the track renders with a bloody snare sound.

Hmm... I thought I had a myspace link in my sig... The sites are www.killacelebrity.24ex.com and www.myspace.com/killacelebritygrind - and I warn you, its extreme grindcore. Not easy listening stuff. Theyre just some old demos we did ages ago when I didnt know what 'levels' were - I just...

Cheers mate. I was on here a few months ago when we started recording our now-scrapped first little demo. Spent many hours learning and playing around with recording and mixing techniques. Then I found this board. Its simply unparallelled for support with home recordings. Your band sounds...

Thanks for the wealth of responses guys. I'll go have a bit of a play around and see what works.

Cheers guys. I had a bit of a sniff around on some drum mixing and processing tutes as well. Going to go play around with a noise gate on the kick drum. I'll give the volume envelope a go on the gravity blast passages.

I've had my trust Ibanez RG 450DX for something like six or seven years and its never let me down. I love the thin, fast neck -and the floyd rose has put up with me tuning from standard E down to drop A. Any recommendations for other thin-neck guitar lines?

Hey guys. After two PAINFUL months my band has finished recording the drum tracks for our first demo. I have one specific question to begin with - though as the demo develops dont doubt there will be more. Alright, so I have got a basic handle (or did I need to refamiliarise myself a tad) with...

Look the way I see it you're mistaking the metal I listen to to the majority of crap out there. I agree with what you say - that all this tryhard fantasy b/s, self proclaiming, egoistical, indulgent crap isnt worth a thing - that relevant, and 'real' music with ideals and direction is worth far...

... I dont think grindcore falls under the blanket term show business? See this is what I mean - the metal I listen to isnt about Viking warriors raping men and going into war; it isnt about people big noting themselves; its not about idiots talking about blood and gore and so on. The point I...

There isnt any bass. The kick drum has a terrible sound I gotta mess with the EQ. I dont mind the snare too much, it needs to cut through to a certain extent. Cymbals are really low in the mix, there was a bit of leakage in the snare mic for the hi-hat and a little crash (which is what I...

Hey mate, thanks for the ridiculously quick response. Less compression ey? For the snare I used 4:1 compression, 60 attack, 50 decay with a threshold of -19db... didnt think there was 'too much' compression? Though since there was a little bit of leakage on the snare mic to the hihat I can see...

Alright so my band and myself have begun home recording our demo. Here is a sample of how the mixing is going (we havnet recorded bass or vocals yet). Just wanna know what you people think. I also want to know how to; 1. Make the guitars sound even bigger (and by bigger I mean thicker! like a...
