amazing.

uh, is there a reason why everyone on this thread has assumed the problem is some sort of technique failure or whatever? Maybe the guy just likes his snare to sound that way... There is certainly nothing wrong with a choked sounding snare unless it sounds bad. The original post didnt make much menti...

Start with your overheads. Build from that. this is far to great of a generalization to make without going into detail on how you plan to mix the drum tracks. Starting with overheads is fine, and necessary in some cases, depending upon how you intend to implement the mics in the mix, how much weigh...

yeah, but its sweet b'rah.

If you have a console with a passive mix buss, hanging channels on the buss, even with the fader down, will definitely change things. On a console with an active summing buss, which I assume your console to be, you have constant impedance, or at least should, its one of the functions of the active s...

It is my experience that the words "mesa boogie" and "creamy" have about as much to do with each other as, well, "authority" and "salesman".

the black can is positively the electrodyne opamp which apparently contains an IC opamp and some discrete circuitry around it. DONT blow that thing up, you'll never replace it. Hard to tell from the blurry photo, but the red thing next to the three red film caps could be a wound inductor however Im ...

man, whatever gear they used on that record is just positively irrelevant unless you have Black Sabbath plugged into it. sorry.

humans made that shit.

well, if I was going for a roomy sound, I would first find the mics that worked best for the room sound you are going after and then select the mics for the individual instruments based not so much on how they focus the instruments but by how the frequency response compliments the sound you have goi...
