    Can You Hear This?

    Ditto here, too. 20 and can hear to 22k in both ears, and high noises at night fuck me up.

    I was *very* surprised and relieved considering how much I LOVED Korn in high school and would get the biggest damned headphones I could and keep my CD player at the max volume. That and growing up on Metallica's black album, which my dad would blair with the speaker literally inches from my right ear. That and how many metal concerts I've been to with no earplugs (I've since started using them). When I got my first ipod in high school, I hated it because it didn't get loud enough. Edit: Oh, and add to this list, I'm a gun-owner and shooter, and I don't use hearing protection when I shoot.

    HOW DO I HAVE HEARING AT ALL?!

    For metal you want more than two rhythm guitars. You want to at least double and maybe triple most of your guitar work.

    Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there. One guitar hard-panned in each speaker definitely does the job well for me. Here's an example on the site from a few years ago that is only dual-tracked, and still has bigger sounding rhythms than the mix you posted. http://ocrmirror.iiens.net/files/music/remixes/Final_Fantasy_7_Yet_Even_More_Fighting_OC_ReMix.mp3

    What about layering snares? I know people like zircon say they have like 15 drums in a single loop (which I don't even know where to start with... I'm like "Two is fine for me!"). Where does one go about picking this kind of stuff out at?

    Thanks for the demonstration Vagrance. I can hear the differences that the two are making to each other, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how they're really affecting each other, sonically.

    Another question that I have isn't just when you should layer sounds, but how do you choose which sounds should be layered together? Hear a kick and think "this needs more thump" and go find a thumpier kick, LP its low end and mix that in?

    So, I know what layering is. You take multiple sound files and you overlay them to create a sound with characteristics of both. I don't need anyone to explain that to me.

    What I need help with is knowing what/when to layer sounds. I consider myself pretty decent metal producer, but almost everything that I do is like... two rhythm guitars, a bass, and a drumkit. I've done some slight layering, but only like throwing a send on my snare and kick, compressing them to fuck and back, and mixing that with the original signal for more presence.

    But now I'm getting into other styles that I could use layering in, and I really don't know where to begin. Drums? Synths? Layering damned anything I could use some advice on what I should be listening for or keeping in mind. What mindset should I have when listening or thinking about it?

    I'm at Berklee College of Music right now, and the best advice I can give you is simple.

    Just do it. Practice. The more you do it, the faster you will get. Get a big honking book of sheet music, and play through each song as fast as you can. Ignore mistakes, and fix them on the second time through. Don't get used to analyzing it before you do it - just get used to doing it.

    Either you're really young or very sheltered when Urotsukidōji came out way back. :lol: Not to mention I never said a thing about gaming when it came to that :wink:

    I will say though boobs on the screen and female genitalia deforming into mosntrous tentacles ready to OM NOM NOM on Dante were the least of my worries.

    Heck the series I mentioned before goes beyond that as well as its remake. :lol:

    Better yet try watching Feast and Feast II: Sloppy Seconds; utterly stupid yet hilarious monster flicks.

    I will say though Urotsukidōji really makes me think of DDS: Megami Tensei

    Or I've never paid any attention to anime. :P

    Curiously what stopped you? Considering I've never played any of the GoW franchise but played through all of Dante's Inferno just fine.

    Yeah, to me, it was just like "Okay, let's take a really generic slasher game. BUT THEN WE SLAP TITS ALL OVER IT AND MAKE LIKE SUPER SWEET STUFF EVERYWHERE LIKE FUCKING GETTING THEIR HEADS CUT OFF AND PROBABLY RACECARS TOO AND THIS GAME WILL BE AWESOME."
