Xaphon
Xaphon is my personal project where I recorded everything using the same kind of home-studio workflow I show in this video. It’s in that death metal / blackened death / doom-ish lane, and I’m genuinely proud of how it turned out. If you want to hear what this approach can become after proper mixing and mastering, this is a great reference point.
Pros
- +Real-world example of Drew’s home-recorded tracking workflow
- +Heavy production that translates well to a finished release
Cons
- -Not a piece of gear—this is a music release for reference/listening
