      I am, and I'm a URM Enhanced member! Need more death metal sessions with Dave Otero too, but more importantly can you guys get Erik Rutan, Scott Morris? That would be so sick to have a session with Erik Rutan, especially a Hate eternal song

    “I like to remind everyone that the bass is important.” After I cleared the tears of joy from my eyes, I realized Wannasee is my new favorite mixing/mastering engineer ever.

    Well man, I'm mixing my own production now. It's my second try afer I recorded and mixed my first production in 2015-2016. It's a challenging task, hours of tough work and sometimes a bit frustrating. But when you're reaching the final stages of the mix, it's incredibly rewuarding. I seriously challenge you guys to start your own mixing on your own material, specially if you can't afford a sound engeneer session. Show us your material, while more music, while more intersing life.

    Do you prefer quad tracking rythym or duo? (For Metalcore/Progressive/etc) Cheers!

    • @ezassegai4793
      @ezassegai4793 6 лет назад +2

      Mister Kenova
      I know this question is not for me but I would say quad tracking will cost you, the guitar has to be set up perfectly and even a slight detune can turn your guitars into a chorus orgy. Also the guitarist needs to be a very tight player or otherwise its going to sound weird .
      If you have all the necessary ingredients though I would say go for it, it will definitely sound way fatter.

    • @GamePlayMetal
      @GamePlayMetal 6 лет назад +2

      I usually track 2 guitars but make 2 different sounds for each side, effectively ending with 4 tracks, but less potential timing problems. Just gotta watch out for the phase but it usually works well

    When I mix guitar solos over a death metal track, I never know what to do and how to approach it. Can you guys give advices about this. Can't find anthing worthwhile about this on youtube.

    • @pratherbby
      @pratherbby 6 лет назад +1

      I find the best way to get it out front is a different amp, cab and mic. So say youre using amp sims. Rhythm guitars with say TF Jason richardson with an sm57. The leads you could use TF ben bruce with a condenser setting etc. That way you can have a seperated feel without making the lead earpiercing-ly loud! Also short verb and delay will help with blending!

      do small cuts on the higher frequencies and slice it off at 1000, use a limiter if necessary. you can also use an exciter and/or accentuate the mids

    You people have no idea what real death metal is/was like. You want to cook in an oven and don't care how the food will taste, all you care is keeping the oven the entire time at 240 C. And this mentality destroyed not just metal but music in general. Everything sounds like it comes straight out of " Guitar Pro" . Loudness and brightness is all i hear, no guts, no death, no attitude. Rule no 1 : death metal is not airplay oriented.

    When I read death metal I thought I'd check it out, thank for reminding me times have changed & DM has got some fucked up splintered genres now which is whack af & shouldn't even be labeled DM, like whoever or whatever band u use at the start?its metalcore,progressive,& the vocals suck in both. From now on I hope others out there can be more specific & know old school death metal is death metal?this newer other shit is just a waste of time & dm was never meant to be technical
