[Monument of Non-Existence]

I was a little iffy about it at first but damn when it slows down into the orchestral part where its just guitar and what sounds like piano.... I was left breathless cause its the perfect storm of metal meets orchestra. 10 out of 5 my god.

Lashmush responds:

You should probably listen to the improved version. c:

have you listened to thunderkiss '65?

lotem responds:

no, but holy shit they do sound similar (the intro riff)

[Event Horizon - Symphonic Metal]

that is amazing quality! how do you get the drums so crisp and punchy and how do you get the dynamics that varied? nothing short of epic and badass!

NahuPyrope responds:

Most of the punch comes from mixing, if have problems with it, just try looking for new ways to mix it, it can really just help a drum track become what it really wants to be, as for dynamics well, I just play them on my triggered kit and then adjust the velocities a little.

Thanks a lot dude!

[Rapturous]

I'm really impressed. It looks really compressed where as there isn't much of a variety in dynamics, however its still really wicked and you're still incredibly talented. I'm having a rough time mixing my drums so if there are any tips or tricks feel free to let me know. But you have my 5. Hope to hear more work from you in the future!

[Re:Reveris]

this isn't my style of metal but the mixing and mastering is flawless. any tips and tricks for recording vocals? you earned that 5 btw :)

ADR3-N responds:

Yo, as for mixing and mastering, I studied tutorials by Chernobyl Studios and used iZotope Vocal Synth on some tracks. Tips for recording, well, for one, breathing lessons. Makes a huge difference. 2, don't be afraid to sound shitty; we all do in the silence of our little rooms, and it's natural to hate your own voice. Three, noise reduction and noise cancellation. Four, invest in a good mic if these aren't getting you good results, but I would sooner look at more FX processing. I recorded some of these vocals on a 20 dollar Walmart mic and the rest on a Blue Snowball.
