  1. I've found that when things sound thin on their own, it sounds a lot better when you put it in the mix with everything else.

    A thin sounding kick won't sound as thin when you have some bass in the background to fill up the soundscape.

    This is especially true of the kick drum in metal. When you think "kick drum," you expect that it will be a big, boomy, loud thing, but in metal, the kick is mostly attack - the 'click.'

    Something else that might help are transient shapers. That'll help you emphasize the attack how you want. Very overlooked in beginning mixing, but a very powerful tool, especially for drums.

  2. Well?

    I'd say mine is Massive, since I know it real well and it's pretty versatile. I love how modular the envelopes are - though I'm sure I end up using those as a crutch at some points. On the other hand, I hate how the envelopes are ADSR, as opposed to AHDSR. I also have a hard time keeping my synth sounds simple, just because how powerful Massive is - most of my sounds end up way too huge and complex.

    So what's yours? What do you like and dislike about it? What genres and sounds do you use it for?

  3. what is ReCycle, i'v heard of it and i never new exsactly what the program did :(

    It takes drum loops, detects the hits in the loop, and slices the loop into a bunch of smaller segments for each hit. These slices and their timing information is stored in a file called a rex file.

    Rex files are used in things like Dr. Rex and Stylux RMX for drum loops, so you can use keys to trigger different hits of the beat.

  4. I did have fun seeing those typos, but hopefully they'll get fixed soon. I had fun replying to a hater just now. Apparently all the music you guys are making is crap, and you're just adding drums. I wish I'd taken all that into account before YESing those all of those mixes!

    Lockdown 3, it's coming!

    You figured me out.

  5. I know Misha (bulb, guy behind periphery) personally and I have to say, after the years of demos, I was truly disappointed with their first album. He has done a lot better stuff just as demos.

    Agreed to an extent. I only listen to the instrumental version of their album, and it's just a higher-level produced version of a lot of his older songs.
