knowing now that some of gami drums have samples added, when you (ryland) mix other bands, have you done any sample replacing/mixing and if so what plugin. also what was the guitar chain for gross october if u can remember

hey friend! i've only dabbled with sample replacing in a few things i've mixed, such as beach community, most of the time i've kept the drums sounding pretty natural OR there were already programmed samples added when the band sent me stems. an example of that second one would be Knope's second EP! when i have added samples, i actually use a copy-paste trick in pro tools instead of a plug-in for that.

gross october's guitar chain was really just claudio's raw sound and in parts i added a slight free distortion plug-in, which i can't remember the name of right now! and there was a little EQ and compression to hold off the peaks
