Hollow Ground - Ill Fate (thelongestyear)

bass is non-directional, so if you have a bundle of it in your side channels, you are wasting science and opportunity. long story, best to research it really.

you might also like to explore some bit crushers...their sonic degradation is perfect for creating distortion-type artifacts, and of course it doesn't have negative consequences on other areas, unlike brickwall slamming. try it on drums too!

keep it loud Wink

Thank you, Dave! I think I need to dig more into this bit-crushing thing.
Now, for the mono-making. I know what you're talking about. I use it almost every time I mix but mostly on drum overheads and room mics (like in this case). I tried it here on the guitars and the bass as well and I didn't like it. It kind of withdraws all the anger and overpowering toward-movement from the song for me. Thank you for your suggestions!
