Wow thanks .... thanks letting me know that something I did touched someone ...I am very proud of this work on many levels ....

And you should be! The sound of the album I think represents the spirit in which it was recorded and the honesty of Ziggy's art. Major influence on me sonically (as a learning recordist), this kind of sound is what I want to be able to capture. Anyways, does anyone else on this board have this CD?

Can't wait for another collaboration between the both of you.

In mixing I sub mix in a blend of a hyper compressed drum buss (read my post on compression for more detail here) When you have a good sounding tight room you can compress the piss out of it and blend that in for that wonderful natural ambiance instead of having to look through boxes for your reverb. I will say as I always do that I hate drum reverb in lieu of a great real room. This is one of my ongoing "trademarks" if it were. Real sounds .... I strive for honesty in my recordings. hopefully this is a helpful start

Thanks for the mics/comp explanation, it is very helpful and I appreciate you taking the time. I still have one question: You said it depends on the context of the song to decide which elements of the drumkit to leave out of the squashed subgroup. I've been sending the whole kit to the subgroup and the results range from great to just OK (So I will experiment with your suggestion).
What benefits do you get by not sending the snare for instance?
(edit): i got the answer to my question in your last reply of the "compression" thread ... not hitting the buss compressor too hard so the rest of the kit remains more present.
Again, thanks for your reply!
