I have a session Tuesday for my final project. I am tracking on an SSL 4056 G+ console. I am tracking and mixing a metal band, what is the best Mic and Mic technique for recording vocals that will sing and scream? My Mic locker goes like this. AKG
(5) C-414 B-ULS
(2) C-414 TL-II
(3) C-1000S
(2) C-451B
(8) C-451E
(4) D-112

Hey!

My band is going up to http://www.studiometronome.com to record our drum tracks on an SSL... We're taking everything back to my house for overdubs.

Hello there

It appears that masterers don't tend to like getting what is called stems, which I believe is what people used to call submixes (you can straighten me out here if necessary).

I guess this is a poll question, but I'd like to take it a step further.
Not only would I like all you pros/semi-pros to choose which one you would use, if you could only use one, but please give a brief description why.
Keep in mind I am a bang for the buck, middle of the road project studio. I've done my own research, but am still on the fence.

Hello am soon to embark on recording a singer song writer, a dude and his gtr. In the past i have recorded vox a lot and acoustic gtr a fair bit but never at the same time, well not seriously anyway. I wanna get a good pro result not too ambient sounding, something like Nick Drake or etc etc.

Before I send a mix in before mastering, wouldn't it be best if the vocals are just a little louder than most of the mix? Not much just a 1/2 db or db. It just seems like the compression and limiting is going to crush the vox anyway, right? I also like to mix my drums loud, is that a problem?

I'm curious about what effects and processing is used for the Deftone's albums, particularl Adrenaline and White Pony. What kind of distortions/overdrives, delays, compression, chorus, reverb, etc.?

I posted this in "Live" - and figured this might be a better place. Sorry.
