Hello there guys!
My names Daniel and I was wondering if you would be so kind to answer a few questions for my university dissertation/Thesis.
Im writing about alternative drum production technology as it is raises very interesting arguments.
Thanks in advance
Could you give me a rough estimate as to what percentage of metal recordings involve some kind of drum triggering/sampling sound replacement technology in modern times?
What is your opinion of the current trend in utilising some form of triggering/sampling on extreme metal recordings? Why is it so popular?
How important is the drum sound for your productions?
Do you feel drum programming will ever reach the realism of a human played acoustic drum kit? The new Meshuggah album is programmed and sounds fucking quality!
Do you feel that we are in danger of loosing the acoustic natural ambience of the drums when using trigger, VST, electronic drums or other processing programs?
How long have drum triggers been around?
Who was the first band which used triggers on a production? Was it Morbid Angel?
Is recording/producing/engineering for drums in danger of becoming a lost art as new production methods (Drumagog, sound replacer, battery, electronic drums and triggers) are increasingly prevalent on extreme metal productions?
Kind regards,
Daniel.
