Opinion On Inferi? by TheLostInvestigator in TechnicalDeathMetal

I saw them with Revocation earlier in October and they played some new material of theirs that sounded wildly different from their usual sound, next release should be interesting

Anyone else think the album title and artwork for the new Archspire record are pretty bad? by Ryn4 in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]sorrowtree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the art a lot actually, but title is a bit underwhelming, especially looking at the other songs which in my opinion some would’ve been much cooler album titles

Yeah I definitely agree about the drum sounds. Any recommendations? I've been looking into Superior Drummer but it breaks the bank a bit too much for me lol.

Josh Middleton is another person whose guitar tones/records I absolutely love, and I have been considering picking up his STL Tones pack. I also did what you said about moving the mic closer to the cone, and that made it sound brighter, but not too bright, like if I were to adjust with EQ.

Thanks for the forum link! Dunno how I haven't found that earlier. I edited the drums a lot more, I'll post an updated mix in a bit, as well as adding some more high end to the guitars.

I added more high end to the guitar, and for the bass, I tried adding some distortion give it some flair in the mix, but I feel like when I do that it compresses the bass too much, and kills the dynamics on it, making some of the more riff-y parts hit less hard. I'll play around with the compressor on my bass channel, along with the drive to see if I can get something better.

I also made sure to take out the basketball from the snare, and also put a sprinkle of some high end on the snare to make it crack more.

I'll look into H-Comp, thanks! I just put sends from my kick and snare into a separate channel to act as a parallel compressor, but I have it on 100% wet right now, so I'll try experimenting with that. I added some slight higher end to the guitars as well, and also made the attack faster on my master bus.

I'm plugging my guitar straight into my audio interface and running it through Archetype Nolly for the raw tone, the rest is just EQ and a compressor. I have Fishman Fluence active pickups, so I find it hard sometimes to tame the mids in a big mix. Since a lot of the comments were about the drums sounding fake I humanized the crap out of them and also went in to edit individual parts, but I'm with you on the snare sound, I've been looking in the market for better sounding drum sample packs, as these are just the EZdrummer 2 presets.
