You can hear what he says?? :D

good one steve :p

it sounds to me like the vocals were run through an amp or something to me. I heard chino uses a sm58 a lot anyway, and there's a fair bit of reverb on the new album. maybe that contributed to it.

I read Terry Date uses a lot double compression, like 2 1176LN one after another to track. To mix they go and compress it again (on another compressor I think...)
:c:

I believe he also sings thru monitors in the studio, no headphones. Terry Date was commenting about some feedback on a couple of tracks. The combo of heavy double compression and the mic reacting to the monitors give you more of a live sonic to the vocals. The mic reacts differently. When I do heavy gits sometimes the only way to get the git to react the way I want is the put the git player in the same room with the amp. Similar situations Then again there is the Date/Wallace connection. Which says a whole lot by itself.

Chino likes his SPX-9000...A LOT!

About the Date/Wallace connection. More Date influence. Terry Date is a master of this style.
Just wanted to clarify.

Enlighten me/us on the connection between Terry Date and Andy Wallace. Considering Mr. Wallace has never mixed a Deftones record, I'm assuming you know something that I don't. Do Share, thanks!

Sorry, I was under the impression that he mixed the first CD or some of the songs. The only one I own is the latest which of course is mixed by Date. A friend of mine who loves the first one told me Wallace mixed it. Guess he's wrong. By your post I assume you know better. I stand corrected.
