Members Neilrocks25 Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 By far its RadioHead the bends. Also Listen to Queen. My favorite engineer is Steve Albini He gets a great big open sound. Also Jimi Page was a great producer, the drum sound he gets is great. A producer and an Engineer is two different things by the way. and of course back in black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Invicta Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm kinda surprised that Mastodon - Leviathan or Blood Mountain have not showed up here. There is digital clipping all over the Blood Mountain record and it is pretty heavily compressed accross all bands. Just listen to track 6 specifically some of the clipping.

I remember when the album was leaked early there was horrible clipping ... but on the actual album it isn't all that bad, still compressed though. As a side note, I LOVE Leviathan and it's one of my favorite modern metal albums ... but the production is pretty bad on that album. No instrument separation and the drum tone is pretty awful (especially the bass drum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members K.platyops Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Add to Steeley Dan's "Aja" Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly", and I'm also partial to a few of King's X's earlier releases (Gretchen Goes.., Faith Hope Love, Dogman, etc.) and also dug the mixes on some of the middle period Suicidal T releases. And Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nevandal Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Good production on: 1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon 2. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral 3. Tool - Lateralus 4. Prodigy - Fat of the Land 5. Nirvana albums have pretty good production I think, as well as Dr. Dre albums. 6. A lot of stuff from the early 90's sounds great and has an ideal loudness level....IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Weathered Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 For me, there's a few:Hot Water Music - The New What Next (best overall sounding album I've heard)Northstar - Pollyana (UNREAL drum tones)RX Bandits - The ResignationFor local stuff, I REALLY dig Dropping Daylight's "Brace Yourself"www.myspace.com/droppingdaylight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Exocaster Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 Porcupine Tree's In Absentia is another one I like... Gavin Harrison's got a great sounding drum kit, which you can hear on any of their more recent albums too, but I think their guitar tone's gone downhill since then. Y'know, I agree with you there. The guitar tone in general on Deadwing just seems "smaller" to me, and the high gain tones don't sound anywhere near as nice. I've heard Deadwing was all Pod XT for cleans and processed tones, and Marshalls for high gain, where In Absentia was all Bad Cat. The high gain tone on FOABP is loose and flubby without the girth that In Absentia had. FOABP has the best drum sound of the three, though. There's much more detail to the snare. And I love how punchy and clear their bass tone is throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Puddlegum Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 So, using that reasoning...is "Chinese Democracy" going to be the greatest sounding album ever? Oh sweet God, I hope not. I guess that means the 12 year gap between Boston's 2nd and 3rd album would make that the best sounding ever then right?

Members paranormal5150 Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 or at least your favorite, or the production that fits the best? I think coheed's good apollo IV sounds amazing totally agree one of the best productions I've heard. Although I think No World For Tomorrow was even better production wise.

Members sgmarshall Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think Iced Earth Dark Saga has great production, every instrument is distinct and has it's own space, but blend together perfectly. All metal should sound this good. It's my standard for getting drum sounds when I run sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weathered Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I know that I'll get hell for it here, but pretty much anything by the Dave Matthew's Band sounds unreal. Crash may have one of the best drum sounds ever comitted to record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paranormal5150 Posted January 28, 2008 Members Share Posted January 28, 2008 I like the old tool cd's productions. Although it isn't as high tech as todays stuff. It has more of a raw edge to it. I love that sound. most horrible production ive heard is lamb of gods as palaces burn. I love that album... great album. But I could have recorded that better at my home studio. Horrible recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
