Here's my latest mix, the insanely brutal 'Possession' by Dal Av. I took a couple of interesting approaches to the mix and reamping on this one, like blending a 'swedish chainsaw' guitar sound under the main guitars for hella grind. I also added some extra production elements such as impacts, rises, and a haunting female vocal part as I felt the original track was missing something.

Big thanks to Jeff Key of Key Recordings for these multitracks!

Testing the new Diezel VH4 plugin by Brainworx in a mix. Jesus H Christ on a biscuit this thing sounds enormous. I used the stock Diezel Cab IRs, number 35 and 36 I believe. Also used the new Ampeg V4B by Brainworx for the mid band of the bass.

Song is 'Mistake' by the band Down & Dirty.

Need a thicc drum tone? Grab this free 100% mixed, ready to go Superior 3 preset. I've been using this on some post-metal jams I've been writing recently and I'm stoked with how it sounds, it works really well for a wide range of styles.

The clip cycles between with and without my stereo bus processing on, starting with it on.

This preset uses the Genista shells from the core library, the Black Beauty snare from Metal Machinery layered with the thicc af Lignum Stave from the core library. The crashes and ride are from Metal Foundry, whilst the hi-hat, china and splash are from the core library.

Requires full core library installation as well as the Metal Foundry and Metal Machinery packs (though only the snare is from MM so you could change that out for something else if you only have Metal Foundry.)
