Was snooping around and found an article from Sound on Sound: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul07/articles/studiosos_0707.htm http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul07/images/StudioSOS6aDrummerNew_l.jpg ... and this setup seems relatively simple to do. The only concern I have is the fact that the drum...

Nice space. Natural light is something that's hard to beat. Are you looking for acoustic advice? or just spatial placement logistics? Well, based on the dimensions of the room, I guess mainly spatial placement. I think I will have the drums in the far corner near the door with some hanging globos a...

Was thinking of maybe putting the drums in a corner with the wall facing the back of the drummer; might give it a tad more bass.

Any help with a shoebox for a live room?

The dimensions: 29.5' length x 11.3' width, 8' ceiling. I wanted to get the best possible use out of a shoe-box of a room solely for purpose of tracking a live band. The control room is downstairs and I have just ran a 16 channel snake upstairs in this room. The desk and pretty much everything but t...

Wow...

Bad Brains ROIR?!

Master of Reality?!

Fresh bass strings on 70's dub?!

:shock:

You sonsabitches are the kind of people that let ZZ Top 'remix' their back catalog so that every single 70's album sounded like Afterburner.

Offering his services for birthdays, weddings and bar mitzvahs?

Drum-kit feng shui consultant?

I dropped Horisont a line on MySpace and they referred me to the producer and to the engineer. They work here: http://www.musicamatic.com/ If you take a look, you can definitely see how some of these sounds could originate there. The producer already wrote back thanking me for the kind words but I d...

Swedish Retro Rock Sounds

So Sweden has been cranking out some cool bands with the retro-70's rock vibe over the last few years. It's not so much that the songs are all that amazing but the production on them just leaves me in awe. I love their ability to draw in an extremely authentic vibe to the mixes that compliments the ...

It keeps track of the weeks and months.

Should be practical when posting to threads that include dates.

- A good band with good songs. That was nice.

- A skate-rock punk band that is driving me #$%^&* nuts. Soundreplacer, a snare drum track that would be a better served as a hi-hat mic, auto tune, compress, compress, compress.

but it most reminds me of Polvo (esp their new record, which has really great guitar work, for anyone who ain't heard it yet). I'm a Polvo freak from way back. The guitar player for this band hadn't heard of them until I told him that the track reminded me of them and gave him a CDR of Celebrate th...
