I've also been useing triggers, but I think I'm going to try to stop. Lately I have gotten the natural sound of the kick just about to where I and bands want it, and I typicaly record Metal/Grind/Hardcore. I figure if I can do it... man...

Sorry I didn't mean to try to throw the thread way off with the whole tape/digital thing. I don't have much to contribute in this department cause the only outboard gear I ever use is mic pre's going in and a carvin board only to get levels under controle going in for the chanels I don't have any pr...

ha ha wow thanks :]

That's still a little rough and there is more stuff to be added to it. It's also my first shot at mastering as well, which was a kinda 'master as I track it' thing for the most part.

Well anyway I agree that the industry is full of crap. Take my label for example, the new What Lies Within discog is well under $10 at most places and it's... umm... 'got' 11 tunes on it. It's also awesome and a must have for fans of Bane and Shai Halud. ...and seeing how it's to late to save this t...

More Hardcore for the masses!!!!

Your looking for 'Game Ova'

I'm not super fond of the vocals just cause they sound a little to chunky, but the band liked them that way.

Nope I've never tried the double shell thing. I take a d-112 and put it some where between 3-8" (some times it's hard to see exactly how far your in there if it's a small drum) up above the impact area of the beater and aimed down at it. Then I take the big foam thingys that came with my MOTU HD896 ...

With ITB there IS a tone thing too, sorry guys...but it's always thin & papery or just small & narrow. Going through a good analog desk & all the outboard rounds off all the edges & has more tonal 'breathing room' not to mention more headroom & that subtle compression thing. These days compareable ...

I just kinda skimed through this and didnt see any one say to much about the importance of useing overheads or mid/center kit mics. Prof- posted a few months ago about all drum sounds should start from the 'Top down'. That little jem of advice pretty much changed my world when it comes to recording ...

good guitar for recording = Dean.

Good mics for recording the good guitar = sm-57 w/ an sm-81.

Mess around with which mic you point at the neck and the body, both will yeild good results.

I havent started tracking These Are: yet just because there still writing but I did work on a track from Cross The Line, which should be available shortly at: http://www.myspace.com/crosstheline Look for 'Game Over' (or song no.3). To day I started another project which includes an Iron Maiden cover...

Warriors of metal unite!! :]

I was poking around Nasum.com and found a link to Coldworker, which is a member of Nasum's new band. They had a video that shows (if you look quick) some mic placements. I thought it might be kinda neat to post on here:

They have some goooood VST plugins.

Aside from cables and basic repairs, dose any one out there actually make their own gear? Would any one like to post some schematics of basic things we could all make to save our selves a little money and become more familiar with things like wiring, seeing how it's kind of an important thing to lea...
