Hi

I've just joined this forum so hello

I'm after a metal type sound - something like an ibanez rg or jackson, and would like to get some new pickups eg DiMarzios or Seymour duncans...

Thing is, I only have one guitar and it's a fender strat.

Hi there,

hi everyone, been lurking around for a while.. finally joined after finding the jp22 fiasco thread.. alas, too late to contribute to that infamous, historic thread ...

What's the low down on the metal pop filters?

To my knowledge they don't absorb some of the sound like nylon filters. which allow the tones and frequencies to pass, but still blocking plosives and air (pops)

?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the effect that is used in a lot of death metal on the vocals. A great example of the is "Dead by Dawn" by Deicide, the sounds of the growling and screams in the beginning. It's sort of a phasing type sound that I have heard on many Deicide songs and also some Bloodbath songs like "The Soulcollector".

I'm in the market for some new monitors for my home studio. I'm looking for quality, nearfield - powered monitors. They will primarily be used for mixing Heavy Metal. So I need them to be tight in the low end with plenty of thump and clarity. I don't want something too bright as they're far too fatiguing for this genre.

What kind of amps do you use? what kind of mic/mics? where do you put them and at what angle? at what volume do you record? do you use many layers? how do you eq them (low cut? high cut? any special boosts?)

It would also be nice if you could post a sample of the guitars, solo and with music, so I/we can hear how your technic sounds :)

Hi everyone, Id like to hear some opinions on how to mix a heavy metal drum recording. Ive got this guy coming next week to my studio to record some heavy metal drums. I would like to make a very good Bass Drum sound, which is very important in this type of music.

I would be pleased if someone's got any special tip for this session.

Thanks in advance

G'day All,

I'm recording second album and due to producer moving, I've decided to take on the production myself.

I have a great Guitar, Bass and Drum sound and just about to work on Vocals, (pre-production is finished.)

I'm using Nuendo and looking to get a decent mic and mic preamp to record with, have a great room - just need the vocal hardware.
