Hi All,

I'm new to this forum so forgive if I'm not posting this in a right place :whistle:

Situation: I need to film and record sound for an artist who will be singing a capella (all done most likely in one take) in an acoustically great venue with some natural reverb at the end of Nov.

Hey everybody.

Hello everyone,

In the area I live a lot of bands are going for that Slipknot/Soulfly raw dirty sound. Does anyone have any details on gear/mics/pre's used?

I honestly love the sounds that come from Indigo Ranch and Ross Robinson, but am not sure how to achieve the rawness. My stuff sounds a little too polished.

Hey all, I'm looking for ways to get live drums to sound more raw, but without losing too much quality (ala EMU SP1200). They are recorded pretty well with 2 OH's, snare and kick mics in a pretty dry space. I tried cycling them through BATTERY and dropping the bit rate to 12 bit, along with some slammed compression on a aux. send, but it didn't really produce the effect I wanted.

Hi there,

This happens to me over and over...I tune and mic up my kit as best I can, but the raw tracks in their relative balance seem very puny(lacking top and bottom) compared to the sound of my raw guitar amp(Les Paul/Mesa Tremoverb/SM57) and P- bass DI tracks.

The latter instruments come across much richer and louder than the drum tracks for a given peak meter reading.
