A pretty interesting interview with Andy... about triggers, modelers, drums...

Come to think of it, some bits on the new Nevermore (This Godless Endeavor) were done with POD. Not the main rhythms, but there are a couple of whammy solos. We’ll record a clean DI and the amp modeler as well, and feed that back to the main rig later.

Andy Sneap: I’m a bit dubious about the whole amp modeler side of things. I’ve never really heard them sound that good, until the POD XT Pro came out. I started getting a few mp3s up on a forum, that kids were doing. I started checking them out and they sounded really good,

I did the latst Biomechanical album for Earache... that’s actually a whole MIDI kit on that – we used Battery within Pro Tools. They actually recorded the whole album in John (the singer’s) front room. We got a pretty good sound, I think.

A good read!

 

[Matt Crooks]

Indeed, a good read!

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

killer!

 

[JeffTD]

Yup, and the Biomechanical was dont with a PODxt, as well .

Andy Sneap: It’s right for the music and you want that natural ambience to the kit in all its variations. It does apply to this type of music. On the new Nevermore album, there are acoustic parts where you want [the drums] to sound natural. If you put triggers in, it sounds so fake. But when it’s heavy, [the natural sound] doesn’t work. Not for me, anyway.

Hell yeah I knew that on "this godless" there was/were a track/tracks without samples.
I think the instrumental, and another one!!

obvious that the guy doing the interview was more into drums than into guitars: a "Box AC 30"
anyway, nonetheless, pretty interesting stuff, too bad there's nothing about bass in it

 

[Torniojaws]

I believe they just plug the bass on the line input and put the guy in a closet for a few hours Then they buy him a lollipop when he's done
