    Times Of Grace Bass Tone

    I think Adam likes using a RAT pedal for his distorted bass tones blended with a DI/amp signal... I know he ended up tuning down to A for this song I believe so that helps add some more weight to the bass especially with the pick attack... I can ask Jesse (TOG singer) next week when we track...

    clean, even sounding overheads

    I'm starting to think Shredder10 is ruining this thread... Start a new thread called ULTRA WIDE MEGA SNARES!!! I don't let nobody get off topic in a Mr. Smalls created thread... NOBODY!!!

    API VS Focusrite

    Lasse have you had any issues keeping the API preamps at a reasonable level on the outputs into your converters when driving them for extra color and distortion with drums?? I know these bad boys run super hot soo I'm looking for a means to tame the line level signal out out the API into the...

    API VS Focusrite

    Just picked up an API 3124, and RME Fireface 800 w/ Focusrite Octopre via ADAT to record the drums for the new The Empire Shall Fall album... Eager to here how the API sounds. Either going to go Snare, and 3 Toms with the API or 2 OH's, Snare, Room. Will probably use the Octopre and RME pres...

    Raw, dirty band! (Real cabs inside)

    I like where this is going you just gotta dirty up those drums a bit more... More so that snare... A little bit too clean and polished sounding for the vibe the guitars are giving off... Overheads have a cool dark vibe... Nice job though soo far man... Stick with it

    The Empire Shall Fall- Awaken

    I use a 5150 II unboosted for dirty and switch over to my other pickup with the gain/volume knob dialed back on my guitar for a clean/slighty gritty tone for my cleans... Other guitarist uses a 5150 unboosted for dirty and the green channel with some delay for cleans...

    The Empire Shall Fall- Awaken

    Some of the cleans were amplitube 2 or fender (Awaken) some of them were printed line 6 tone port cleans w/ delay (for Choir of Angels) and others were 5150 green channel w/ delay/verb (for some of the clean and slighty distorted jazzy lead stuff in we the people)

    recording live/real drums, cymbal wankery

    Octavas are solid OH mics for sure... Another trick you can use to improve shitty sounding overheads is to layer in some cymbal samples with the natural OH's and pitch shift either the natural cymbals or samples a couple cents... Should create some more body and mellow out any harshness a...
