[L-OT] Heavy Metal Drum Mixing

2004-01-23 by Save the Universe

Hi,

I know most people don't care about heavy metal anymore...but i do!!!

I was wondering if anyone on this list has mixed any speed metal bands.

I'm looking for some tips on how to keep definition in the drums when
they're played at 170 or 180 bpms.  I'm especially having trouble keeping my
kicks from sounding muddy.

How do you maintain bass response AND definition in a kick drum when it's
played so fast?  Many professionally recorded speed metal albums do this so
well.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,
Jon Zaremba
