What do you do to get tight rockin' dynamic mixes?

Forums

Hi guys and girls, I was wondering: what is your approach to getting the groove of the track to sound tight? To have that drum sound like a solid block of audio rather than have all those transients flying around. I'm relatively new to paying attention to this, so I'm wondering you guys who've been at it for years have been doing.

Should a Neumann TLM 193 be this dark?

Forums

I owned this mic in 1998 for a while and bought one again in 2014. I always thought it was good, plus it allowed investment in Neumann technology, which was otherwise well outside my budget - and still is. However, I find it extremely dark on vox (and instruments) and am certain a mic of this accuracy and calibre shouldn't be.
