Oh I agree on both counts. In fact, once their album is all done,
mastered and on CD, I plan on remixing a track and doing all of that, and
then some. I might even rerecord the guitars, doing actual doubles not
just duplicating a track and faking wide stereo spread as it is
currently. <br><br>

And is it just me but some of those super fast blast beats done with
triggers can sound like a machine a already. lol <br>

well, in the case of metal, nobody wants a blast beat or a fast kick fill
that is sloppy. I guess the art is to make things accurate but not so
perfected that they sound like a machine or inhuman.<br><br>
