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...

Awesome, another chance to beat yourself. Lucky you that another metal band is going to record with you, it's a nice opportunity to make a better recording. Remember, a good tracking is the clue to a great mix!

Nice photography! BTW, are you Spanish spoken?

Guitar sounds really nice. My congrats to the vocals, these days is hard to find someone who can actually sing!

Yes, you can record with an iPad but it's not advisable if you want to go serious on recording music. For the same price, you can get a used Mac or PC with the requirement to start a home recording studio. The only thing you'll need is a good audio interface. Mixer is incorporated in the...

That is called layering and it's pretty common when mixing metal but... as you pointed, it's just to enhance the sound. Otherwise, your drum is gonna sound unnatural. Another trick to achieve great results when replacing drums is to change the attack/release of the samples (no drummer hits the...

Hey there, I'm attaching a remix of "Muerto en Vida" Snare is more prominent as well as the kick. Sounds better to me, I don;t know what's gonna happen once I record the vocals, maybe I'm gonna have to do more tweaking.

Hey, maybe I'm the one that actually listen to extreme metal almost every day. Here's my opinion on your mix: 01. Drums Kick is muffled, needs more bite and attack. Metal is about beating your ears relentlessly so, the kick have the bass but lacks the slap. Snare sound OK to me but the volume...

Most important thing: What guitar are you using? It would be great if you could post audio tracks to analyze your tone and sound.

Greg, you have a point; being a drummer is another story, you know your stuff but.. my mind drives crazy when I hear hi-hat on the left, is like, "what's going on"? Besides that, remember that the panning of the different kit pieces respond to the fact that we need to assign each piece a space...

I will check it out when I get home.

Hey man, two things on your mix: 1. Get rid of those drum samples, they sound too muffled and lifeless. If you want to have a killer song, spend some time programming MIDI with pencil, note by note, modifying the attack and release velocity as well as the quantization to have more swing and not...

Get a Digidesign Mbox2 for USD 350, and it comes with ProTools LE. I've recorded a guitar and bass player at the same time without problems. http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Digidesign-Mbox-2-USB-AudioMIDI-Pro-Tools-LE-Interface?sku=240479 Think of EQ and Compression at last...

It seems you're confusing some terms. I'm not an expert but I will try to explain this thing to you: Audio interface The main use of an interface is to serve as a nexus between your signal (let's say, a microphone or a MIDI input) and your computer. Most audio interfaces come with preamps (the...

I support the idea of getting an interface so you can transfer the audio waves into your computer. Besides that I strongly recommend reading some books about the basis of home recording. Believe me, you'll learn a lot and your tracking and mixing will improve a lot. "Guerrilla Home Recording"...

Now that I hear it again (my ears are kinda fresh now), you're damn right about the kick and snare. All the songs need more "evilness", and I think the way to achieve that is cleaning some reverb from the snare (as you said, is buried in the mix), bringing the volume up and also raising the kick...

Soundclick failed to upload the tracks so I replaced the original files, they're OK now.

They're up now, and the [.zip] file is still valid!

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...

You could use more reverb on the snare, too dry for my taste. I'm not sure how you recorded this but if you don't have an ambient or room track then add it digitally. Kick needs more bite, a little rise on 5khz will do the job. Concerning the guitars, they're OK, and I'm a guitar player, nothing...
