Is it okay to ask fibes about the tracking now? I'd love to know how the drums were tracked. |

I used a bunch of reverb on the kick and snare tracks (pre distortion). I thought it would be cool to have kind of an 80's cannon ball snare type of reverb on there and make the drum sound cavernous. |

I'm not J. and personally i think y'all need to concentrate on your hard work for at least a little while, if J wants to start a thread then so be it but I'm getting into the mix aspect of this excercise and wouldn't want it to lose THAT focus. You will all get a kick out of it when we get there however. |

this actually is the thread for all this discussion...... start asking every one all the questions you want, and start answering questions. |

Well you heard him. Anyone care to guess what format OTO was recorded in? |

First, although sampled drums are not my favorite, they seemed to work for this particular song. Why did some feel the need to treat them so radically? I understand it’s a preference thing. Hearing that much reverb or distortion on the drums makes me ask; Am I that ‘out of touch’ with what’s going on right now? |
LouMan wrote on Wed, 26 July 2006 12:41 | ||
I went radical because I felt the song called for it. The drums seemed like the only 'conventional' tracks out of the lot (except for the 2 virgin bass tracks). To me it seemed like the production and tracks were totally committed to sounding the way that they were going to sound. It was fearless- so I needed to be equally fearless. Mainstream really never even occurred to me. I couldn't really get it to sound 'right' (to me anyway) without it. As a footnote, I don't consider myself (nor do I ever aspire to be) a good mixer. I just enjoy recording stuff and playing with audio. |

To further Floodstage's point-- I'm pretty sure you guys are talking about different songs. |
j.hall wrote on Wed, 26 July 2006 23:16 |
the point of this thing was for people to learn exactly how other guys do what they do. no one seems to really be getting on that. are every one's mixes just not that exciting to any one else? |

Think my fav mix overall was assman's, it had a nice bite to the low mids that gave it quite a cool edge. |

I won't say that I love it, but it's impressive since I have yet to be able to master absolute control over sonics. |
j.hall wrote on Fri, 28 July 2006 03:27 |
that goes for every one. feel free to tell me what you personally think is wrong with my mix. |
j.hall wrote on Thu, 27 July 2006 22:27 |
that comment to me means you didn't like my mix at all. |
j.hall wrote on Thu, 27 July 2006 22:27 |
so instead of me diving into what i did, i'm actually much more interested in hearing what you think is wrong with my mix |
Fibes wrote on Thu, 27 July 2006 22:00 |
but the bass levels don't match up with your top, so either start wearing a one piece or go nude. Get my drift? |
