Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or TheBuddha.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

This kicks ass! Love the thunderous sound of those drums!

Thanks Reems, Glad to see you around man! The drums gave me some interesting obstacles as the kick had a lot of hihat bleed that sounded terrible when trying to get the click of the beater to stand out. I ended up figuring out how to trigger it with a sample kick, so I could augment the high end. Took some time, but that’s a skill I’m happy to now have. I added 3 different reverb aux tracks for the snare to try and make it sound huge haha.

Normally, if I wanted to kill a hi-hat bleed on a kick while augmenting the hi end, I'd probably use a multiband compressor at that frequency to try to kill the hat. What did you sidechain to the sample kick?

A gate and Dynamic EQ has always worked for catching the hihat bleed with my own recordings. It just wasn’t sounding right in this kick. When I ducked it, the kick got very pillowy sounding, which can work for a lot of genres, but metal needs that click.

For the sample: I used a plugin called DrumXchanger from Plugin Alliance. It allowed me to set a threshold from the source track, and simple insert a .wav of the new kick. Then it has a transient designer, filters, and a blend knob. Super useful tool.
