I'm looking to get some help mixing hardcore/post hardcore music. I mostly specialize in electronic and industrial music so this is a completely new territory for me. Does anyone here have any experience mixing and mastering stuff similar to Born Of Osiris, A Day to Remember, etc.?
My advice is to get drumagog. Period. Having your drums replaced by normalized samples is the only way you will compete with those genres. I really think if you spend a lot of time focusing on the best drum sound, the rest will fall into place. Drums are the hardest to get right. Do A LOT of listening and really focus on the type of sound the drums make and their relationship to te mix.
Next, with screaming, I would learn how to manipulate compressors (via attack/release) to make the screams crispy and almost replicate that "cup-the-hand-over-the-mic" sound.
Couple things Ive learned over the years (the few I've been barely doing this) ;-) hope this helps!!
