Members Luke17 Posted July 18, 2016 Members Posted July 18, 2016 Broadcast sound.. sounds like early Nine Inch Nails..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g50cXs4bml4these two lovely Brits are under Jeff Becks wing.. any suggestions?
Members Anderton Posted July 18, 2016 Members Posted July 18, 2016 Not sure if you're referring to just the vocals or the overall sound, but the vocals are a huge part of the sound so let's start there...there's distortion (not a huge amount, not like a high-gain amp) and EQ to take off some highs. I'd start with an amp sim and choose an amp that's designed for "crunch" as opposed to clean or lead, and pull back a bit on the highs. There's also significant amounts of distortion on some of the tracks, It doesn't sound like there's overall processing with distortion during the mastering, but that the distortion is limited to particular tracks. In any event, it sure is catchy...
Members Luke17 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Members Posted July 18, 2016 thanks Craig..yeah, I was talking vox and that crackling guitar and drums..I like that sound..kinda arcane and mysterious..goes with the whole film noir feel of the vid.gracias .
Members Anderton Posted July 18, 2016 Members Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks for turning me on to it. The production is an addictive combination of industrial, rock, and dance. What's also interesting is there's no real "song" in the conventional sense of the world (imagine it on sheet music!), it's more like an environment with words and music. Pretty cool.
Members Luke17 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Members Posted July 18, 2016 Interesting ..I recently described the song exactly the same way to a friend..Industrial/Rockish and Dance. I loved the over done Brit Cockney? (not sure if that's what it is but it is certainly 'affected.'.) accentI think the Guitarist is/will be touring touring with Jeff Beck..the vocalist too.It is a vid that I keep watching and listening to over and over..Sounds great through a crappy system or high end components and I pick up a different nuance which each listen.
Members Anderton Posted July 18, 2016 Members Posted July 18, 2016 Sounds great through a crappy system or high end components and I pick up a different nuance which each listen. That's the hallmark of a great mix. Are you familiar with a plug-pin called MixChecker?
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 I saw the blurb about MixChecker when I posted it to HC News. http://www.harmonycentral.com/news/how-will-it-sound-on-any-type-of-playback-system-this-will-tell-you Have you tried it Craig?

Members AlamoJoe Posted July 21, 2016 Members Posted July 21, 2016 I can't watch it enough! Luke17 has a knack for finding cool stuff.
Members Anderton Posted July 21, 2016 Members Posted July 21, 2016 I can't watch it enough! Luke17 has a knack for finding cool stuff. Maybe he'll uncover some more goodies for us, so we don't have to wade through miles and miles of generic stuff found in other media.
Members AlamoJoe Posted July 21, 2016 Members Posted July 21, 2016 Maybe he'll uncover some more goodies for us, so we don't have to wade through miles and miles of generic stuff found in other media. I feel ya man....Information that really isn't. A veritable sea of nonsense and blandness.
Members bieke Posted July 26, 2016 Members Posted July 26, 2016 Broadcast sound.. any suggestions? I'd use NI Driver to get that sound [video=youtube;akAQKiA15fM]
Members Luke17 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Members Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks B,see you on the flip side, Brain Vomit.
Members AlamoJoe Posted July 27, 2016 Members Posted July 27, 2016 Thanks B, see you on the flip side, Brain Vomit. Point of reference on that "Collab #1". he used it on my voice.
Members bieke Posted July 27, 2016 Members Posted July 27, 2016 [quote=AlamoJoe;n31783269Point of reference on that "Collab #1". he used it on my voice. also on the drumtrackit's pretty versatile and can do subtle filtered and mellow dist all the way up to total annihilationAlternatively I'd use Speakerphone to get the cracly old radio sound [video=youtube;QNn8aPehlf8]
Members Etienne Rambert Posted August 6, 2016 Members Posted August 6, 2016 I personally LOVE the sound of music playing in mono through an old car radio OR through an old TV set, especially strings. That is my favorite sound in the world. Screw stereo, screw hi-fi, digital. I'll take the Perry Mason theme in mono on an old TV set to any thing out there today.
Members Luke17 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Members Posted August 6, 2016 yeah Etienne, it's a lovely honest sound...I still have RTR tapes of me playing my Silvertone/Danolectric 417 U-I guitar through a Mono Stromberg-Carlson PA amp that my Dad repaired for a local church and they never picked it up.. A lovely, old school, undiluted, and honest sound. came from that old mono S-C . He later set the Stromberg Carlson back to its original purpose as a back up PA for our garage band. When my mom passed in 2000...we were cleaning out the house and one of my brothers threw it out inadvertently, not realizing the value. been it the house since the mid 1950's. They are fetching some really good prices on eBay.. Guitarists are fighting for them. the have a nice pure look too. Back to mono sound..I always loved 'The Theme from Peter Gunn' coming through on mono.

Back to mono sound..I always loved 'The Theme from Peter Gunn' coming through on mono. Best version of the "Peter Gunn" theme I ever heard was back in the 90's by a power trio that called themselves "ChuckleHead and the Mumblebreaths". Wish there was a recording of it. Truly defied description. Bass,Drums, Guitar at ear splitting levels.
Members Luke17 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Members Posted August 6, 2016 interesting tidbit..alamo joe.. just wondering..Did Chucklehead and the mumblebreaths record their version in Mono?
Members AlamoJoe Posted August 8, 2016 Members Posted August 8, 2016 interesting tidbit..alamo joe.. just wondering..Did Chucklehead and the mumblebreaths record their version in Mono? If they did I have no knowledge of it. They made a lot of recordings however. I haven't spoken to any of them in at least a decade. I have none of their recordings. I have about a dozen recordings of a band I was in with their drummer. I have two recordings the guitarist/keyboardist/Chief songwriter made at my home studio...But that was from over twenty years ago. They played "Peter Gunn" at a live gig at a place called Fitzgerald's down here in Houston. The only cover song they did at that gig. It rocked. It loosened several of my fillings. I loved it. The guitar player was a lefty who used all righty guitars, none a Strat.
