Members cobrahead1030 Posted January 4, 2007 Members Share Posted January 4, 2007 for my abilities, i'd say it's about 51/49 with the chops having the slight advantage playing guitar is my first love, i enjoy it FAR more than recording and i take it more seriously...but for all practical purposes, i'm in a band that needs to function as a band; that means my recording skills are very important if we wish to do that if it was financially feasible, i wouldn't mind recording taking a big backseat tho...and concentrating on my playing more, and only recording clips for the hell of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rawhedrex Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Originally posted by Mood Bender this thread is really something...who is this Axeman720 dude... producer, mixer... what? he is one of the guys from the studio owned by jason suecof (i think) - who produced some of the biggest names in metal in the last few years. One of my favourite production houses for two reasons - everything done there sounds killer, and every band done there sounds different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always hook up with some one who knows how to record but youre screwed if you cant play... explain the white stripes, marcy's playground and the other million signed bands that cannot play.

He has? I've read this thread as it was being generated, and I didn't see any specifics. All I know is he works there and he's very passionate about tracking, or mixing, or producing, or mastering, or some combination of them. I also didn't see any so called HC lynching going on. Who besides Scott was going after him? Ralph said he wasn't as impressed with what he heard as he is with what's his name (can't remember who it is), but that's a matter of preference and then Ralph let it go. I still don't understand why you're being so protective of him. I'll check out the website, maybe that info is there too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucking arse crack is not my MO due to ones profession. In terms of your origional comment - i still agree with him, and dont think it's hard to see where he's coming from. If you took offence to his tone or attitude, then thats between him and you. I wouldn't take crap from anyone based on their know-how - and never suggested you should either.

Members rawhedrex Posted January 5, 2007 Members Share Posted January 5, 2007 Originally posted by Bob Savage Are you using acoustic drums only? I don't listen to a lot of modern metal, but what I've heard and after speaking with some mixing and mastering engineers, it seems to be commonplace these days for acoustic drums and samples to both be used, sometimes with the samples taking precedence in the mix. This is true, more often than not kick drums are triggered via midi or in post. Just about everything else is acoustic, sometimes people trigger snares also - or even the whole kit, cymbals and all - but thats not commonplace.

Personaly I only like the kick sampled anyway, so thats generally the way I go - easier to set up than a trigger aswell. Shouldn't take you more than half an hour to get going Bob.

Does drumagog work like sound replacer? Any idea what drumagog costs, and does it come with a good sample library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what drumagog costs, and does it come with a good sample library? it's very similair to sound replacer, and is pretty much the best option outside of pro tools - the sound library is pretty good - however i use my own - I actually mute the kick drum entirely when i drumagog it, so to get rid of bleed - the little whacks are more than enough. It's not exactly dirt cheap - but its a damn chunk cheaper than setting up triggers to do the same job. Everything is overpriced here in Australia, so you'd be better off finding a price locally.

I do have the first Drumkit from Hell and some misc samples I've run across on the web, so DFH is a good start. I think I'll see about buying it once I decide what bass head I'm keeping (just put together a bass rig) and sell the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
