I AM TAKING ON A TASK TO RECORD A ROCK BAND I ONLY HAVE BEEN RECORDING REGGAE AND HIP HOP, I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MICING OR RECORDING JUST EQING THE MIX ILL BE RECORDING A E-GUITAR,DRUMSET AND BASS-G + THE L-SINGER BUT THE PROBLEM IS EQ ING THE INSTRUMENTS GETTING THAT RIGHT SOUND FOR THAT ROCK SOUND?... (PROTOOLS HD SYSTEM)

A little on the dark side but I love it on bass!!
For semi harsh vocals it is just the trick to mellow them out.

It doesn't work on everything but the sound I got on bass guitar was worth it!

I love the compressor too!

the uad-1 version of the 1176 is close but no cigar

I did a bit of poking around today after your preamp suggestions and I managed to get onto the Guys at JLM. They are only about 20 mins away! I am going down there next week to check out the tmp-8 and some other gear. I told them that you put me onto it and I think Joe is kinda keen to get some feedback from overseas engineers.

Digidesign bought the assets. It will also be integrated into Pro Tools in a future release.

I know most rock bands do most if not all of their writing in house, I was just hoping for a different poinr of view, but how is the job market for HardRock Songwriters?

Ok,
I try to record and mix and I basically suck at it.
it must be some magic formula.

example - nivana nevermind or soundgarden -
how do they get that big punchey in your face snare and kick sound?

are they eqing the hell out of it?
i thought eq was a no no - you're suppose to get the suond up front to avoid phase problems.

Hey all,

So are most of the drummers for these bands EXTREMELY accurate and consistant or is it common practice to add kick and snare samples? ( i know terry date does) Where do you normally find good samples and how do use them? Generally when you use a sample do you not rely on the original at all or do you pick something that will compliment what you have and lay it under the original.

Hello.

I am working on mixing a couple of punk rock songs and was wondering. When mixing, do you like to use more than one reverb..ie. different ones for the drums, vox, guitars?

Just curious as to other peoples methods. Also, any suggestions on what pieces of the drum set to run through the reverb would be helpful.

Thanks,
Michael
