LOL Yeah. Whoever butchered that one... There's a decent Metallica record underneath it all.


You know, sometimes I listen to older material I recorded years ago - man, those things aren't "mixed". Everything and everyone is just shoved right through the mix buss. And surprisingly, some of it doesn't sound THAT bad. (Relatively speaking, of course...)

Which I guess can be explained by the fact that I arranged the songs in function of my abilities (or lack thereof) to mix. In other words, if volume and panning didn't help, and if even boosting something w/ an EQ didn't help, I'd simply remove the offending part or re-record it w/ a different sound or instrument.

I know this is almost a month old but,a couple of bands you might want to check out for a modern sound are Halestorm and Firewind.

Man, funny coincidence - my wife just added Halestorm to our library and suggested that I check them out.
