The "All 57 Song"

[I'm Painting Again]

I think you can make something great with just 57's!!

57's sound freaking awesome with a nice preamp from my experience..for me usually its the damn drumkit that sounds like cardboard!!

[jeddypoo]

does anyone else think the sound of that recording isn't that great?

I think it sounds about right for 57's and a the daw..

No, it's not, but it makes its point- that you can make something.....kinda okayish...with just 57s. I think it could have come out a lot better, but it certainly could have come out worse.

I'm on such an anti-57 kick lately though that I can't be sure of the purity of my opinion. They make everything sound like cardboard (pre-eq).

Of course you CAN make something great with just 57s, I've made some of my favorite recordings with just 58s (which I think slightly more useable), but I'm just sick of them. Hell, I miked a kick with a 57 recently and I thought it was a pretty decent sound. But I don't want them near my snare drums anymore. I'm goan condenser-only on that, unless I happen to be recording Dr. Teeth or something- that Animal really just bashes away carelessly.

I sure did! What I should have said is that <b>you and I</b> can make something great with only 57s, but he can do something kinda okayish.

This was my point exactly - kelly mcguire's song blows, 57 or not. meanwhile, NKOTB is an awesome song, even when done in a halfassed manner on lowly 57 microphone.

[Kilgore Trout]

This was my point exactly - kelly mcguire's song blows, 57

jessica simson's songs blows.....

brittany spears songs blows....

and they have a team of engeneering geniuses to polish the turds oh so shiny....that millions love them and their "songs".....



me thinks most of you missed the point.

shit ,I would kill to be able to record just Myself... playing drums, guitars, keys and vox......mix..........in 3 and a half hours......with $79 dollar mics...and have it sound half as good as kel's tune...

liking his tune is subjective.......

I would love to hear anyone's attempts working under the same conditions.

Just you....your tune...your instruments...your sm57's...Press record...and go.

That's what it's all about.

I just posted a song done with 57's. IMO, it sounds great. I use sm-57's all the time. 'half as good as kel's tune' is really easy.

Acid Ranch's As Forever LP do you?

J - trashing kelly's tune doesn't make yours any better. Kelly's sounds way better than yours even though I'd use less verb, too.

I try not to get involved that way too and I think your point is great..but whats worse? Expressing a trite personal opinion about the subjet at hand or criticizing someone for their right to express that opinion when its not at all on topic?

Did I say Joey has no right to be a rude ass? I dont' think so. You say I was criticizing his rights. No way. I was criticizing the way he was exercising his rights. I wonder what the point of being rude is.

[joeysimms]

Dude- fucking relax. music is subjective - that's why there IS no right answer, just what is right for you or me. I don't give a fuck HOW you recorded something if I don't like the song. I was only speaking about kelly in jest - I don't remember anything about the song, it did not bother me in the least, it's just crap to me and that's valid enough.. Woe be to you who sit and listen to crap songs trying to find the 'quality' recording job.. What a waste of time.

I agree in principle, but seeing as what I spend half of my time doing is recording my one-man-band stuff with mediocre equipment, I'm not being defensive, nor am I terribly impressed. I mean, the recording was alright, I didn't like the song, and I think I could do better, easily, and I think a lot of people could. A lot of people could do worse, to. I don't know what my point is.

on the count of three everyone say your sorry....
