I also duplicate tracks, one for the attack (highs) and the other for the body. Two things that improved my results A LOT using the aforementioned method: FIRST: Try the Audix D2/D4 for toms. I LOVE them... nice clear tone and little bleed (I HATE 421's because of the bleed) SECOND...

I use it on toms, not as a compressor, but as an expander to bring up the attack in the high frequencies. It's like eq-ing but with a lot less bleed

You gotta boost the channel input gain, not the channel volume fader, then your low end and gain will appear ;-). The knob is in the mixer, right above the each channel fader, and you have to press shift to move it. (I assume you are using Cubase) That's it!

Thanks for the samples man... I'm very interested in this thread because my drummer is about to choose between the tama starclassic bubinga/birch kit and a Maple Pearl Masters Custom kit.... we are due to enter the studio in April and I have no knowledge of the B/B kit ... Can you recommend...

Blacky from Voivod gets his signature sound w/a Marshall 9001 guitar tube preamp into the input (yep, not the loop's return) of an ampeg or old acoustic bass amp. Sounds awesome. My bassplayer uses a Peavey Rockmaster ---> input of an ampeg svt2 pro. Nut-shaking and crunchy. For some reason...

I second everything that has been said here. THANKS!

I have the distortion and alternative 8; and to my ears there's clearly something wrong with the 8. It sounds like mine does when I use it on coil split mode. Are you sure your wiring was right Ola? . I know you're such an experienced guy, but that alt8 recording left me scratching my head. Of...

A masterpiece... But production-wise I think Empire is miles ahead... That album is perfection to my ears

Not to hijack the thread, but what are some good pickups for heavy distorted bass on a usa fender jazz? ... Our new bassplayer has one, but the pickups lack sustain + punch and hum like crazy. I've heard good things about the dimarzio model J's ... Anyone to share his experience?

Sorry for the big assed image :erk:

It's been almost one month since I purchased this puppy: And it's still in customs!!!!:( Can't wait for it to arrive... damn slow post office.

On the cheaper side, you can get a Marshall Jackhammer ... while it might not be stellar on guitar, on bass it's really nice. Cool midrange crunch. The Peavey Rockmaster preamp is also great for bass IMHO

For what it's worth ... I just purchased a Lunchbox with an API 512c module :Smokin:, so, quickly I did a couple comparison clips between it and one of the mic pres of my RME Fireface 800. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1333856/api%20vs%20rme.rar The source: a DI reamped through my ENGL e530...

Ok, I'll chime in and add my band to the list. Band: POEMA ARCANUS / Sneapster: Chaosmonger / website: http://www.reverbnation.com/poemaarcanus I produced our latest album (fourth one) "Timeline Symmetry" in 2009. The songs "By the Cliff" and "This Once Long Road" are taken from there...
