Theramins...

As has been mentioned, arrangement is quite important...

Radiohead also has a habit of having both lead instrumentalists (Jonny Greenwood and Ed O'Brien) play the same melody using slightly different phrasing.  For example, Greenwood'll play something on a synth while O'Brien uses an Eboe or some whacky effect on the line, or O'Brien'll play the part in the background when Greenwood plays the line as 16th-notes...

Anyway.  Love that band.  Don't you, too, J. Hall? HA!

Radiohead = 2 mics on the drumkit. Only 2.

Amplified guitars = almost always.

El. Bass = DI almost always.

BIG condenser on lead vocal.

Smaller condensers on BGs.

Emagic Logic.

Pro Tools.

Tons of efx. Real and plugins.

wow thanks for the reply!!! if you want to go in deep i'm really glad to hear you!!

for example.. how to get those electronic drums? they have an ambient, maybe so short that you don't hear any tail, but that gives a snap and soft the transient at the same time..

Which electronic drums? Specifically?

also make sure you are referencing to the music you want your mixes to sound like.
