Re: The bottom of the snare
I always mic the bottom. If I get tracks from somebody with no mic on the bottom I re-amp the snare track with a snare drum sitting on top of a Fender Pro Jr and mic the snares there. I almost always have an 1176 plug on the bottom snare fast attack/slowest release. I forgot about that reamp trick....

Re: DIY drum sample pack
At the start of the session I would get clean hits, but I’m not a big fan of sample replacing. Taking your suggested approach, I feel like you’ll still be prone to the same issues with using canned sample packs, that is it still won’t sonically be a match to what was recorded (whether that is a fac...

Re: RIP Steve Albini
from the first snare hit you knew immediately if he recorded it. I posted this on the Electrical board earlier: Many years ago, my girlfriend picks me up in her car. She's listening to The Wedding Present. I've never heard them. 20 seconds in I say "damn, this sounds really good!" 10 seconds after ...

Re: New Pro Tools, who dis? "FREEZE"
THAT'S BEEN AROUND SINCE 2010!?!? jesus christ. I need to start looking at manuals. I just found out about that like a year ago.

Slipknot did it better.

Re: The bottom of the snare
Pro Jr. is the only Fender amp I've ever loved playing out of.

Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
The Warm 73 is dog shit. Don't bother. I had a pair of the Chameleon Labs 7602s and at first liked them, but ultimately the EQ was disappointing (which I guess I'm in the minority on that). Great River, as I was reminded recently, is fucking great. IDK why I don't own at least a couple of those prea...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks
I've been really enjoying the Kazrog True Iron plugin lately. Mostly subtle, but sounds good at extreme settings too. Love that plug in! I haven't tried HEAT yet, and wondering if those two are very similar? This along with Decapitator (I usually have two-three instances of it per mix), Devil Loc, ...

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks
I love Saturn. I have done some multi-band stuff with varying degrees of success, but I don't get crazy with it. Usually just pick a mode and adjust the amount/EQ. I have a preset that Audiosiege made that is for the mix buss and split into L M H and gets into the M/S functionality and I sometimes u...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
Listening to the copper audio samples on Hairball’s site and I’m definitely going to build one. I used to have a 7th Circle N72 that I still miss. BUT while comparing I really fell in love with the Lola sound. I’ve always wanted a pair of super clean Hardy type pres so I’m gonna build one of those ...

Re: The bottom of the snare
wave factory plugins and they have a free Snare Buzz plugin. It’s legit snare buzz that you can tweak and mix in with any track. I can’t decide whether it’s insane or genius. https://www.wavesfactory.com/free-vst-plugins/ I would put this on the same level with a plugin that added more string squea...

The bottom of the snare
BOREDOM ALERT. Listen, I always mic it. It's always an after-thought. 20 years of "oh yea, I guess I should put a mic there. :roll: " I get that you want the snare wire, but how do I record the bottom of a snare drum the correct way? I've never once thought it sounded good and it's THE most heavily ...
