yeah, i won't deny that (i've seen live metallica TV performances and yeah, lars' drumming is embarrasing in spots.) but the bass drum is most likely triggered (or heavily edited, same difference) on the even parts, so i'm guessing they made it sound that way on purpose in editing. the logic just b...

that sounds similar to mine. as for why?....that i don't know.

hey, all you in a silent way/ bitches brew fans should check out the 'live at the fillmore east' double cd that came out a year or two ago. holy jeebus! it's all the songs from those two records, but it makes the studio versions sound like...uh...something really tame and boring :) which we all know...

yeah, when my band was in a real studio, they had ns10s and the genelecs. i brought my events in on the second day because i couldn't deal with either of those. the genelecs sounded great, but it was too great, like everything was already mastered or something. i've got my trusty sony boombox, and i...

The whole shaking babies and kissing hands thing I'm horrible at this. In fact, I'm so bad at it...people usually think i'm some hipster asshole. Like I'm too good to talk to them. I'm just not good at talking with people...(brutally shy)...at least not until I've known them for awhile. needless to...

thanks for the replies everyone. i worked on the mackies once and wasn't too psyched about them, but maybe i'll give them another listen. the NHTs look interesting as well. you guys who said a sub is more trouble than it's worth, i think i agree. mainly because i'm too lazy and/or clueless to set it...

jeff- yeah the tuned reference Events looked interesting, they're pretty low dough aren't they? 500 bucks or something? i think the 20/20s are fine for the price, i'm just really burnt out on them. they sound ok at low volumes, but the high end gets painful when i have it loud. did you find the TR8 ...

Hi y'all, So i've been mixing on event 20/20s for a couple years now. i certainly don't love them, but i'm used to them and can deal. except for the low end. i feel like i constantly get burnt on the 40-60hz region, even though i know to be conservative with that area. it's like a couple db too much...

jason, hey, you're talkin about me! i'd be interested to see how it looks on the computer. i betcha it's only peaking at like -3...-4 or so. if you have time to check it out that'd be cool. i don't know anything about the mastering, although it's always seemed to me like it was a pretty quickie mast...

worth mentioning also, is how LOUD that record is. dave and relative volume-wise, loveless and at action park are amongst the quietest cds i own. actually all the shellac records are quiet. and they sound so good when you crank 'em. would be nice if having the quietest record became the new cool th...

dave

well put.

Even the C12VR, yuck, what a boxy sounding mic. dave well now, dave, you shouldn't expect so much from a $5,000 mic :P i got to check one out and was really disappointed. it was all low mid "flubba". i didn't like the new 414uls either. i do, however, swear by my c33e for overheads. anybody know th...

'sweet tea' is filthy ! i had the same response as you. i don't think there's a mic within a couple feet of anything on that record... i didn't even know tchad blake did a sheryl crow record :shock: but all the soul coughing stuff he did is pretty huge sounding IMO. especially the last one, el oso. ...

yer not kidding! i'm still not sure how the drummer DOES that...wheaties maybe? -paul m. i play with him in The Ivory Coast (our singer, jay, was the one who told you "they're REALLY STONED"...). he's a badass. there's been plenty of times at practice when he'll just do something and i'll be lookin...

markpar, thanks! somebody else mentioned the Sundays thing too. i don't really know them so i'll take yr word for it :D there's no backwards stuff on that song. it's the snare track thru an old mxr limiter pedal. that's all it does, but it does that well! should be a review in the next issue. anyway...
