Lastly, and most importantly, LEARN TO EQ. Most solo djent bands have used and continue to use this. A good drum VST is essential if you aren't mic'ing your own kit. I route each drum into its own channel in the DAW and skip the built-in mixer. there's a bit of a learning curve though. I found out about Superior Drummer (The Metal Foundry) and never looked back. Make notes of what needs to be fixed, and fix it.ĭrums are tricky, since most free samples are lacking, and mixing to fit in the mix becomes much harder. Burn your mixes, listen to them in your car, house, wherever. There are pros and cons to each, but never rely solely on one source to mix/master. I do have a recording interface (Lexicon Omega) which I used to use when I ran mixers, but I only use it as a headphone amp now.Ī good pair of mixing headphone or studio monitors. I personally have foregone all cab mics and have opted for the POD X3 Live, which allows me to record directly into the DAW via USB, so no need for amps, cabs, mics, etc.
I personally have stuck with FL studio for ease of use (which has evolved leaps and bounds over the years.)ĭepending on the sound you want, there are many ways to get the guitar recorded into the computer. If you can record sound into it and run VSTs, you're golden. It can make a world of difference and reduce the amount of work you need to do.Įveryone will try to make a huge argument about the DAW, but the truth is simple: It doesn't matter. Doesn't need to be a $2000+ beast, but something more than a starter kit guitar. Been home recording for near 15 years now, all solo, metal for the majority of the time, but more recently djent/prog.
