Hey if you get board email me the snare track so I can sample some hit's off of it. That's better than being locked in a closet;)

thanks man... I see you're just down the road.
 
My god I would kill for that guitar sound.
Whats your guitar setup and mic-chain and did you do layering/processing?
I'm always struggling for that fat guitar sound :s
Could you up a small fragment of the guitar track?I also have a 4* G12-T75 case but I'm unable to accomplish that sound ;)

Nice sound


(Btw guitars in first clip sounded a bit better ;))

thanks...

I'll be glad to put something up, but I'm not sure what you're after (as tracked, as mixed...)

the chain is

EMG81
5150 Ch2
G12T-75
SM57 no transformer

no layering other than one gtr track per side and the bass gtr (very important). IMO, fitting the bass gtr tone as an extension of the gtrs is the cat's meow.

you stated you liked the gtr tone in the 1st clip better, probably you actually like the bass gtr tone better. the 1st clip's bass gtr tone is a bit thinner. the 2nd clip is a bit more puffy. I don't recall changing the gtr other than levels. maybe I did brighten it a tad... not sure.

the gtr tracks are EQd somewhat. to get that in your face presence, but the original tone is pretty thick.

this advice from Colin Richardson posted on UtlimateMetal.com is worthy...

I usually find when mixing that i nearly always put a stereo Massenberg GML 8200 EQ across the rhythm guitars, if the sound has been recorded cleanly ie no strange fizz or bottom end boom, then the same type of frequencies tend to be boosted on most of my mixes. Frequency wise it's usually around
8-10 khz for the air 4-6 khz for the bite area, usually 1.5 khz for the in your face effect, 400hz for the note of the guitar, and around 70-100 hz to pick out the weight of the cab.The boost amount just depends on what has been recorded, just turn it till it sounds good. This method has worked on many albums i have worked on including Heartwork Carcass, Burn my eyes Machine Head, Chimaira self titled, Bullet for my valentine, The Poison.

Yeah the mix sounds good.
But the "stadium rock" sounding snare is taking the attention away from the rest of the mix.
You could bring the snare down a bit and take some reverb off or use a different sample.

Nice stuff.

The kick drum sounds just like Metallica kick drum, which is pretty meaty.

Thank you thank you!

Been looking for some good ringing snare samples. This will fit the bill just fine.


Thanks
Again

Cool.
This must be the kind of snare that suits this type of music, I just thought its reverb was too big.

it's very possible that's it's over the top some, but it also gives the listener something else to focus on and IMO make it's more interesting. but I really like big snares... on another day I'd probably mix it differently :D

I love a ringing snare on heavy stuff. It's that hammer on anvil sound that makes my balls hang a little lower ;)
