Thanks. I did the car test and it seems to sound good in there too.

Thanks guys. My listening environment isn't the best either, I just make do with what I have. I was thinking of buying a sub but it may just sound muddy since my room isn't treated. I used to just run the bass into an amp sim and EQ to taste. This time around I seperated the highs and the lows...

SoundClick artist: Straight Jacket Sunday - page with MP3 music downloads Please let me know if the low end is doing good on this one. I approached the bass guitar differently than I usually do. My ears are tired. I'm debating buy a sub to mix. It would be cool if somebody would just build me a...

I guess it has more of a commercial vibe to it. It's semi high energy so it's definitely no whiny NIN or Marylin Manson stuff. I guess something like RE would be suitable, big fan of the games and movies especially since I have fond memories of getting suspended from school for a week as a high...

The yelling vocals probably remind you of Disturbed. I guess it is somewhat similar. I thought it had good zombie apocalypse atmosphere to it. I know it isn't for everyone and one person's vision doesn't translate to everybody which is why we are all individuals, or some shit. I never really...

Well, all the guitars are direct into a Presonus Firestudio Mobile. The Drums are Toontrack Superior 2 which are triggered from my Roland TD-9 vdrum kit. I use some free amp sims for my guitar sounds that are pretty damn good. If you google Poulin Le456, that is one of them and also Nick Crowe...

Yea, the 128 kbps might have something to do with it. I should just go get the newer Rokit 8's to replace my older version 5's. The AT4040 is actually really good and works great on many sources much like the AT4041 which I used to use for overheads before switching over to Vdrums. I'm going to...

Greg, you hit it spot on. As far as the lows, I have the problem of mixing with 5" monitors, so I don't really get a good feel for bass until I do a mix down and run through my PC speakers with the sub. I'm not sure what is giving it the mid range boost, maybe the distorted guitars. I have to...

It is definitely done in my home. The vocals are meant to be more up front during the heavier parts. I could just dial up the reverb a bit more to set them back a bit, I just don't want to loose the aggression. It's just metal. I'm not really sure which sub category it would fall into. Yea, I...

Here is a tune brought to you by Straight Jacket Sunday. This is a project I started with a couple friends. I'm still working on the mixes. Let me know if you like and what you think. Just to note, "taking lives and eating brains" is what I'm saying at one point in case you wonder and start...

I've gone back and forth with the bass sound, I think I'm done tweaking it because at this point it is actually hard to tell weather the bass guitar sounds better or worse when I make slight adjustments. Toontrack's samples are very good and their player responds well to Vdrums. I was tempted...

I updated my mix and tweaked the low frequencies on the bass guitar. I also evened out the kick drum a bit with a bit more low end and tad less click. I adjusted the vocal levels slightly too.

The kick clicky slap noise is just how I EQ'ed it. Without the boosts I did it isn't as clicky. I just like the click noise for some reason. I may try dialing a little bit back on it and boosting the low end a tad still but I gotta have my click noise. Bulls Hit, I hear what you are saying, a...

When I EQ my low end I either over do it or under do it. I think it has something to do with my monitors being the 5" versions. When I had 8" monitors I had a better idea of what was going on with the low frequencies. I wouldn't say the clicky is a digital sound really, it's the sort of modern...

I actually did play drums on it. I triggered Superior 2 via my Roland TD-9. For the kick and snare I EQ the boxiness out of it if that makes sense. I don't think I can add any more low end to either to thicken them up. I have a snare reverb going to, lightly of course on a send. I'll take a...

I've been out of the game for awhile and am finally getting back with doing things here. A lot of my VST plug ins now are either lower cost or free solutions. It feels great making music again, I just have to stay away from gear this time to stop the buying and selling cycle. Here is a direct...

Sold and gone.

I went back, panned a bit harder. Did I small amount of EQ work. Also, drastically changed the compression so the cymbals aren't so damn harsh. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it now. It is the same link up top, I just updated the file.

I wasn't really talking about timing, more about definition of the kit. I pan the toms and overheads but only on a 50% field not the whole 100%. Maybe I should try some panning. I guess technically speaking, it was recorded mono, just many channels of mono because each mic is just one input.

I haven't posted or been around in quite some time. I've been back and forth between equipment like crazy. Over the past year I've gone through electronic drums and trying to use those to trigger Superior Drummer 2 which was cool but as with anything that goes to midi notes, loses some of that...
