Lol I saw that video earlier this year, made me crack up, especially the part where he's all "ALL THE GAIN! SLAYER! MORE GAIN!" Sent it to all my metalhead friends. Some laughed. Some weren't too happy!

I take offense to that! Not a bad video though.

Kinda off topic, but old cheap Casios make great midi controllers. When I was a freshman in high school (2002) I bought an old Casio at a garage sale fundraiser for my marching band for $50. Loved playing around with the sounds on it, we had a real piano and I had 7 years of lessons under my...

WHen all is said and done, snare buzz is never an issue for me because of the volume of everything else. Snare buzz is an issue when your snare is backstage, you have a singer-songwriter playing acoustic on stage and the mains are causing your snare to buzz. That's an issue. But in actual...

Remember, this thread is about mixing a drum-only track, most of these recent suggestions are referring to drums-in-a-mix.

That just seems like overkill. Like that one Mastadon album where they recorded each drum and cymbal one at a time, passing through with multiple takes. Seriously? Like, what's the benefit from going through all of that? Absorbing panels between drums? Does that actually do anything? If...

I'm going to blame that on a miking problem. I didn't spend a lot of time setting the mics, so my snare mic ended up pointing right at the edge of the head, where all those overtones reign supreme. I almost always have it a few inches above the rim pointing at the center. I did EQ a bit of...

I use to do this with a Radio Shack mic behind me, about shoulder level, maybe a few feet behind my back, got a decent sound for what it was. Seriously, it can't be that bad. An SM57 is so many times better than that mic was.

Where's my having fun?

Since this is the music video forum I won't comment on the mix itself. I like how seamless the effect is on the wide shot. Just a curiosity, what program allowed you to do that?

Being a 70's head, definitely comes across very 80's. More crunch, less saturation on the guitar, less reverb on the snare.

I know this is mostly a dead sub-forum, but figured this was an appropriate place for this! I've been meaning to make some sort of video for my musical, but didn't know quite what to do. Even though the music is all recorded, as far as vocals go I really only have one finished song (two if you...

One of the casualties of my "mix for the song" technique is EQ, specifically high pass filters. I guess there's really no need to do it, as the bass drum isn't competing with a bass guitar, and the toms don't really have to worry about clashing with rhythm guitars. Maybe I'll try not notching...

Yes, but laying into your snare is a totally different discussion. You're supposed to lay into your drums to get your best tones. With that I'm with you there. I always tell my students...play into the drums, play off the cymbals

Yeah this is absolutely killer. I don't know too much Bowie but I do own this album, and I've always loved this song. I'll have to agree with your own personal sentiment, in that the vocals aren't quite on par with the instruments, but we're talking about perfectly killer music with merely...

1: Thanks man, appreciate it! 2: Thank you as well, but its funny because those are the two things that aren't closed miked. 3: Haha no, its my parents' garage, which is on an acre in the middle of the country. 1: They're magical! Haha, nope most of them are out of view. There's a 57 on...

While I generally side with everyone else when it comes to Rod being wrong about pretty much everything, in this case his statement about hitting cymbals hard does have a lot of merit. Yes, drums really need a good sounding room and good overheads to truly shine, that's a given. But cymbals...

Being a drummer, for the past several years I've occasionally recorded videos of myself doing different drumming things. I mix the drums exactly as I typically do in a typical song setting, but things tend to sound a bit thin. Like, it pops out at you like I want it to in a song, but it...

fyi....Reaper is not open-source. Its a commercial product.

Never thought of it like that. Actually, I don't. When I write songs, I write them in the expectation that they'll be played live. When I compose, say, a lead guitar part, I'll write it out as if its live. So in a typical recording, you might have a "lead guitar" part playing the main riffs...
