  |
|
does anyone have any insight as to what recording and mixing gear was used on either album? desks? mics? pres? eqs? comps? or other misc equipment?
Danzig (I) self-titled was produced at two different locations during '87-'88.
-Atlantic Recording Studios and Chung King Metal
-mixed at Smoke Tree and Village
-Engineers: Dave Bianco, Steve Ett, Jim Scott
Danzig II was produced at two different studios during '89-'90.
-Hollywood Sound Recorders and Larrabee Sound Studios
-Engineers: Dave Bianco, Sylvia Massy, Brendon O'Brien, Martin Schmelze, Jim Scott
im betting they were both recorded to tape |

They were definitely recorded to tape.
The drums on the first record had a weird quality to me. Not necessarily in a bad way. I have a theory that they were recorded at a faster speed and the tape was slowed down for overdubs.

| both of those records were pre-ADAT and i could be mistaken but i don't think digital open reel stuff was terribly commonplace. i would bet the only digital thing those records touched was reverb - and lots of it. |

What's it mean when Rick Rubin is the most "normal" looking guy inna group of 7?
By "normal" I mean "least disturbed" and/or "sartorially questionable", altho' I guess the guy in the middle back looks aiight, too ...
