i think their pre-release for the new record seems to suggest that it is heavily manipulated or something.... ?Some of these songs started as hummed melodies into my cell phone recorder while I was driving.

getting a high ring/zing overtone on high hat - tips?

so yeah - i have this old set of dark hi hats that i love but i am recording this bare bones track and there is a high end overtone ring on the hats that i am trying to get rid of. it's not easy to pin point with eq either. i'd like to try and eliminate it in the room physically first - rather than ...
