Members rub1off&tie1on Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Or do you like everything note perfect and squeaky clean? Personally, i like to hear the little imperfections and background sounds, sounds more real and human to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inu Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Mmmm, i like all the dirt in the background... listen to Barkmarket "L. Ron" album, you'll see what i mean. BTW, to me, this is the best album production since... err... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members conaghy Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I like a happy medium.. I like it to sound professional, and clean.. But don't mind hearing things like the reverb of the snare and stuff like that.. I don't like really raw music (ie. Alot of Oasis Tracks...)

Members Panopticon Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I hate super polished recordings. They drive me crazy. I think refused the shape of punk to come is the greatest recording i have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members indespise Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I like being able to hear a mistake or two, it shows that a band isn't whoring out studio magic to play their material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members code_blue Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think I hear what sounds like someone knocking on a door during Metallica's "The Shortest Straw" and when I listen to it on headphones I always take them off and yell, "What?" thinking someone is at my door.

Members 19shannon73 Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I find that sound quite obvious and intentional. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LedZep77 Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I love hearing the background noises. It makes me feel more "in the studio" in that I can hear the mistakes and they aren't edited out. All this stuff is what really makes the Beatles Anthology spectacular. That's right, I said "the Beatles" on this forum:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bullhead Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 depends on what you mean by mistakes. i love hearing stuff like imperfect technique, or rhythm being SLIGHTLY off (unless i'm listening to something like Meshuggah, becuase if they're slightly off, the whole thing goes to {censored}), because it makes a recording feel more alive. feels much more like it's actually happening around me or in front of me, rather than a few parts being recorded and then pieced together. for the perfect example, listen to Nevermind & In Utero. Nevermind sounds waaaaaayyy too processed to me. the guitars sound huge, the bass fills up the bottom perfectly, and the drums fit in exactly the way you'd want the drums to... but it sounds fake. In Utero sounds much more like a band together in one room just blasting away just because, and considering i'm listening to Nirvana, that's what i want to hear.

I think refused the shape of punk to come is the greatest recording i have ever heard. I love that CD. It certainly does sound very good, too, and despite a lot of the electronic-based stuff, it does not come across as fake to me. It's all just in how you use everything. New Noise has the best video evar! I also hate super polished recordings. Yeah, like any band is ever going to sound like that. I get the idea that lots of bands are made to sound like that today because they suck and the only thing anyone can do to save them is compress the hell out of a bazillion tracks of everything, chop them all up and edit them, time align everything, and then slap effects all over the place so that you can't hear it. I want to hear the band for what they are, not what some producer can make them into. All the little nuances in music is what makes it for me. I love stuff that calls for "eagle ears" because I never get tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9-Pin-Phoenix Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 I don't like it too polished. I love hearing the hum of the amp, the fingers rub on the strings, and when the strings bounce against the frtboard on an accoustic recording. This is part of the reason I love live records. They separate the men from the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Herald of Light Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 It'd be nice if rock bands would try to record stuff for "studio" albums all at once. You know, live, but not live. Some live CDs are edited and produced to hell and back. When you are reamping everything, using samples, and editing and processing all the tracks, I'm going to have to draw the line, and that's nowhere near the worst of it.

The first Gov't Mule CD is recorded like this. There is a memo in the liner notes saying that there were no overdubs, except two little lead parts in two different songs, everything else was recorded live. That is a great album.

Members eor Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 eor loves feedback (most of the time), but i get so used to that pitch, that when it can't be replicated live, it upsets eor so. it becomes part of the song to me. good feedback: metallica - phantom lordbad feedback: the smiths - london love,eor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gary Cohn Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 i always loved the {censored}ups, sloppiness, etc. Look at social distortion. a song that comes to mind first is, crown of thorns.
