[@enboomer]

Please do more of these kind of videos! :D

[@solarnewborn]

I’ve been wanting to have a peak into your workflow for so long! Thank you, Drop, it’s amazing 🤘

[@drop2540]

Glad you like it ! It's a very short walkthough, without getting into proper mix details. I will probably make some other videos focusing on certain elements.

[@solarnewborn]

@@drop2540 Ce serait génial! 🦾

[@fedorguzev397]

YES! Some stuff from Obsydians would be stellar. Ascension in particluar) so many layers and relationship with ethnic voices!

[@drop2540]

These mixes are a bit old, so I can go through Obsydians' stuff but probably only showing the riffs and stuff like that.

[@fedorguzev397]

Thats why it's so interesting! This is the way you thought back then) Imprefection is everything@@drop2540

[@alescampanelli]

That's the good stuff 🦩

Great artistic name. Pozdrawiam z Polski!

[@hdaniels666]

Thank you for showing this! Are you able to do the nerdy version of this, maybe one episode at a time starting with the drums?

[@drop2540]

Yeah I will try to do something like that on one of my next sessions

[@thombambou]

Super boulot, bravo! A quand un album de Sybreed avec un son de vache comme tu sais si bien les faire?:)

[@pupu6oi74]

[@mariomaslik]

great stuff Drop, are those rhythm guitars quad tracked or just double tracked but each track has multiple amp sims for different character? Like you mentioned Gojira and STL tones, are both on the same performance or 2 different performances on each side?

[@drop2540]

They have been quad tracked, 2 tracks on Neural Gojira, and the 2 others on STL Tones. I can work with 2 tracks only, then I duplicate them and use 4 tracks, but it's a bit more tricky because of the phase issues, and also the result is obviously a bit less powerful. So when possible I ask the clients to record 4 guitar tracks. Mainly for metal. For rock or softer type of metal I prefer working with only a left/right.

[@keyboardcarrot]

Damn i was asking for that under one of your videos and now its happening ,thank you DROP! ps. If you could do the same breakdown for Obsydians` Psychodynamics its would be godlike.

[@drop2540]

It's a good idea ! As Psychodynamics is a "very old mix" too many stuff won't be working now, I've changed a lot of things since then. But this song has some really cool "fun facts" so I should definitely talk about it someday.

@@drop2540 Thanks the song is such a slapper ,when it came out i was obsessed.
