    Also for picking palm push technique , you are pressing the strings closer into the pickup each time you pick right?

    Alright homie, I got two request for you. I'm all about hard heavy hitting slam stuff/Breakdowns and have these two bands that do stuff like that all the time. In these songs they tend to stick out for me alot with their production. alright first off we got "Quitter Talk" from "Half Of me" there's a part that i can't quite put my finger on from 2:28 - 3:01, the whole part is super massive and huge with all the instruments plus added vox and when ever i try it, It seem like i can't get the hard low end slam that you hear when they play the first few chugs, it also seem likes they have a lot of control to what sound comes in and out like when you hear the guitars go silent for a split sec and slam back in for more impact, but i've already tryed that and i feel like its not hitting right. Sec request is "Aberrant Waltz' by "Disembodied Tyrant" its the begging intro to the song from 0:00 0:24 and its more so the guitars and what there playing for this one, I feel like there's this really cool harmonic that's being played during the chugs and not sure if its just a layer of different efx or if its the guitar its self ?

    It sounds very different and I know it's because 2 things: 1 no iiC++ in the plugins i have only + and 2 they used weird mic techniques such as pointing mics to the ceiling. Anyways I know it can get very close by eqing the input and the output

    Hey dude! Awesome video 🙏 Been in metal production for some time but just started mixing and your videos are great! Big fan of Buster as well and I really want to learn and experience new stuff like you guys do 😅
    I wanted to ask you about the headphones you're using, at the moment I have some DT 770 Pro and I wanted to know your opinion on headphones in general, at the moment I am searching for a Open-Back pair since I heard they are better for mixing. I find the DTs being too harsh on highs and as I got used to them, all my mixes sound radioish while listening to other devices. If I can get some recommendations from you it will be great, have a good one!

      I swear by the m50x headphones, though they aren't really the best or anything. I think the trick to mixing in headphones is just listening to a LOT of music, specifically mixes you really like with them. You start to get accustomed to how a good mix SHOULD sound, and you can replicate it from there much easier.
      I spent a lot of my time referencing mixes I love in the beginning just so I can hear how things sit specifically, so it's a lot of work but very worth it in my opinion.

    I've always wondered how to get similar sound to Magrudergrind - Bridgeburner or for example the whole Nails - Unsilent Death. I just can't get it right how to achieve this fuzzy, enormous, crispy and yet so soft, filling the whole room distortion? Is it that I have to record more than two guitar tracks panned L and R, or something I'm not understanding with the EQ or the whole chain with effect. It would be very helpful to if you give me any advice since I'm not that experienced. Anyways after all great vids man and thanks for doing them!
