How to Mix In-Your-Face Rock Vocals [Video]
“Gritty, in-your-face vocals can sound awesome and really give you a nice edge to your rock production. But how do you get from a noisy, home recording to a raunchy rock vocals?
“Lucky for you, there’s only about 9 steps involved that can take that bedroom recording to a rock god sound.”This is a video to demonstrate the techniques used in Björgvin Benediktsson’s tutorial “How to Mix In-Your-Face Rock Vocals”. You can read the tutorial on Audiotuts+ Here

Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI Demo w/ Logic Pro Bass Amp [Video]
This is a demo to give you and idea what the the Fender Pawn Shop Bass VI sounds like recorded direct and ran though The Logic Pro Bass Amp ( Rock Stack preset) The bass was played with a pick with the bridge and middle pickups.
And the Dry Sound:
Free Compression Plugin: Klanghelm DC1A Mac/PC AU VST VST3 RTAS
DC1A is the little brother of the compression monster DC8C. Soundwise it’s comparable to the PUNCH mode in DC8C. It’s kind of a mixture of classic opto and FET designs.
DC1A looks like a one trick pony. But don’t get fooled by the lack of additional controls. You may be suprised on how many different material this little thing works. DC1A is heavily program dependent, so is the saturation.

Free Saturation Plugin: Klanghelm IVGI Mac/PC AU VST VST3 RTAS
IVGI – saturation & distortion
IVGI can deliver very soft and subtle saturation, that feels at home
on the master buss. It is equally capable of very dense and dirty
distortion effects to spice up single tracks.
IVGI’s base sound is comparable to the DESK mode in the upcoming
big brother SDRR.
Just as SDRR, IVGI reacts dynamically to the input signal. Even the
modelled fluctuations react dynamically and also change depending
on the drive setting, so that it doesn’t get in the way of the
SOUND. Stereo tracks benefit from it’s modelled crosstalk behaviour.
Just as its big brother SDRR, IVGI features a “Controlled
Randomness”, which determines the internal drift and variance inside
the unit. It contributes to the livelyness and realness of IVGI’s
saturation character. All internal processes are modulated to some
extent to make this possible.
IVGI gives you a sensible amount of controls to manipulate the
character of the saturation itself. It offers a unique ASYM MIX knob
to alter the symmetry of the signal without affecting the harmonic
content much. Usually, asymmetry leads to an increase of even
order harmonics. But in IVGI’s case, dialing in the asymmetry makes
the negative part of the signal “cleaner”. This way you can preserve
the dynamic structrure of the source better and get a more
transparent result. Actually, you can think of ASYM MIX as a
transparency control.
IVGI also lets you alter the frequency dependency of the saturation
with the RESPONSE control.
IVGI is internally calibrated to 0VU = -18dBFS.
