Re: Favorite Reference Mixes
stoner witch sounds brutal, but the guitar tone on that converge record is a bit too harsh for my ears...i dunno.
i mostly record hc/punk stuff, so:
helmet - meantime
smashing pumpkins - siamese dream
his hero is gone - monuments to thieves
refused - shape of punk to come
botch - we are the romans

Re: Favorite Reference Mixes
"Kiss Me Baby" - The Beach Boys, Mark Linett's stereo remix on "Endless Harmony." I just fuckin love this to death. Brian fucking around and doing an impromptu, improvised mix on the documentary video was just so cool as well....
"Amnesiac" - Radiohead. Never was a fan, but this is effin great. Really effin great.
"Third/Sister Lovers" - Big Star. Man, if I ever record anything this sonically perfect I'd die the fucking happiest bastard on Earth. No kidding.

Re: Favorite Reference Mixes
I never use my own. I ask the band or artist to bring in what they want their record to sound like. And no matter how much it sucks I use that as my reference.

Re: Favorite Reference Mixes
I hate to change the post topic, but what do you use a reference for? Volume? Stereo image? Or is it even further? Kick drum sound, for example?
And that refused album is fucking amazing. I can't believe some of the things that they do with tired old hardcore and techno sounds. Very jazzy without sounding like jazz, at least not too often.
