This guy is such an incredible contributor to music. Not only is he in one of the greatest bands of all time, but he is an excellent producer as well. His sound is so spot on on the records he does9 years ago

It's sad bands like Converge aren't more recognized today. Kurt Ballou has the ear of Rick Rubin, he is fucking GOOD. And Jacob Bannon is as much an artist as Picasso, one of those rare bands that got it right.10 years ago

Take "Dr. Dre - Still Dre" and render it in a 64 kps mp3 file. It will STILL sound better than this crap. Trust me.10 years ago

I can easily hear the sonics based of a 10 second audio clip. Im not intrested in the music, but im talking about the sonics only.10 years ago

The audio in the intro there sounds fucking shit. No compressor can do that much damage. And its not THAT compressed anyway. Listen to Skrillex, even though his music is compressed with 20 limiters or something it still sounds better than this crap.10 years ago

Just listenend to Converge, and it's MUCH better10 years ago

Why, ohh why do they use that intro then? Weird :D10 years ago

Apparently it's a band called Maruta, just looked it up along with Kurt's production & recording discography and he wasn't involved with them at all.10 years ago

I don't think that's even a Converge song, it's too downtuned and djenty to be them, and it's probably not anything Kurt's produced either, otherwise he wouldn't have such a prolific career. My guess is that it's some sort of filler track that Scion put in.10 years ago

Im judging it from the audio in this video. Just listen to the open hihat in the beginning, it is so quiet compared to the kick and the snare, and everything else. That is just 1 example.10 years ago

You're being very vague, Converge have done quite a few records. As far as I can tell, the drumkit has always sounded natural on their records, are you sure you're not just listening to shit mp3s? Because that can make a huge difference.10 years ago
YoYo .Kidz
It sounds way too muddy, blurry, no seperations, no openness, too compressed, weird balance of the instruments (fx. it doesn't sound like a real drumkit at all)10 years ago

Converge sounds bad and muffled? What planet are you on? Apart form that, your sentiment is actually correct.Related Videos
