Absolutely crazy EQ curves with 10 db boosts. Some have all the bleeds everywhere full on.

I’m using SD2 with Metal Foundry pack and analyzing the presets by some of the big names (Townsend, Thordendal, Bergstrand) is pretty fascinating. I enabled bleed everywhere and the whole kit is over 3 gigs of samples that need to be loaded into RAM. In Superior, all bleed is turned off for all close mics by default. Though I might need to do that for the heavy parts to help things cut through…maybe. Not as interested in super-clicky modern metal kicks and just that whole djenty overprocessed sound. What I’m trying to get is a more natural post-rock/post-metal kind of sound. I guess I should’ve specified what I’m going for, but I didn’t because I’m still curious what you guys are doing.

Different recipes call for different mixing styles of course If you’re going for arena rock though, turn all of the above up :D. Because it’s 2019 and metal hasn’t sounded ‘pure’ since the early 90’s anyway.
