Extreme Metal Production Masterclass Pt.2

[Tombking2]

Such retarded questions "Do you ever use EQ? Compression?" WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK!?

[CoatlEndeavours]

@Tombking2 the best mix does not require post processing like that.

[Tombking2]

@CoatlEndeavours Are you fucking retarded? I hope youre not a music producer. Every single professional mixes the stuff, or else its going to sound crap. and please ,if so, name ONE famous mix or a work of yours that doesnt have :P

[IsaacDeanMusic]

@CoatlEndeavours That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

[cotc28]

really cool interview cheers

[grassvalleystudios]

I love how in Extreme metal genres they refer to them as "vocalists", not singers. Sounds more badass :)

[LukeSnyderMusic]

@grassvalleystudios Its more because they aren't really singing ;)

[JoeyWalnuts19]

cool..good stuff. Thanks

[zapzzapzzapz]

Awesome!

[PANDAPANDAMADNESS]

Brilliant interview. Great questions with fast but informative answers. Loads of people in his spot would lie about things he's admitting to.

[killthepixelnow]

This guy knows his stuff. Great advices.

PS: Horrific audio quality, isn't that ironic?

I like this guy... so humble. I know someone who thinks he's the God of Sound and should take some lessons...

@stainrtw: mastering puts the final polish on a mix. a good mix won't be radio-loud and sparkly; it'll be clear. mastering takes it to the next level.

[stainrtw]

okay being the noob that i am internet.  can someone explain to me what is mastering?

[allhailpantera123]

@stainrtw Mastering is a very subjective thing really. It's generally what happens after Mixing. Sometimes the mix is go good that you just need a hint of volume boost or compression, maybe a little verb and you're done. Sometimes it's a lot more. It's not any specific process. Also, an important part of mastering a CD would be to make sure all the tracks have a similar volume level, if you get what I mean. It can mean many different things.
