Sounds pretty great. That snare just whacks you in the head right in the beginning. How'd you record the drums? They're nicely distinguished without being gigantic, which I'm a big fan of. Really nice mixing near the end, when everything opens up. I could only wish my recordings would sound this good for an afternoon's work.

the drums were recorded with 2 mics, an AT 4047 outside the kick and n RFT Geffell PM750 as an overhead. i ended up layering a sample i made under the kick and snare to give them a bit more presence.. had enough snare transients in the OH to get Logic's 'audio to score' function to track it as a snare. then i compressed the hell out of all of them and ran them through a delay and stuff.

thanks wedge...
the vocal was doubled, and one of the tracks went through the Logic Leslie simulator and a quarter note delay with alot of feerback and the SSL LMC plugin comp.
the other one was distorted with the logic 'clip distortion' plugin on 'medium fuzz' with the mex at about 50. then it went through a federal am864/u and was sent to a fender echo-reverb II and a line6 DL4 pedal.
the bass was a Gibson Ripper that i bought off of a crack head this weekend on the street (it is an amazing bass... 1975 sunburst... sounds awesome) and it got some DBX160 on the way in, and got some of logic's subsynth plugin to get that super deep 'achtung baby' thing going on. that and the adam clayton 8th notes....
glad you liked it!

logic is pretty ill as a production environment, and the built in plugins (prticularly the distortion, delay/reverb, and modulation/wierd stuff) are pretty great. you definately get alot for your money, but it's also more expensive than LE (900 for the software, and you also have to have an interface) although i'm pretty sure you can use it with your 002... it's not as good for using as a 'tape machine' as protools, and the learning curve is a bit steep, but it's a really flexible piece of software.
