Not sure if it applies to "Far Beyond Driven," but IIRC Terry Date was known to mix on SSL consoles at Larrabee Studios during that time period.

Tracking-wise, he's been known to use Shure SM57s on snares/guitars, Neumann u87s as OH mics, Audio Technica ATM25 on kick...yeah, that's all I remember right now, ha ha. I'll post more if I think of anything else.

thanks for the heads up on Terry Date guys, man this guy can MIX!!!! I personally think the Guitar tone on "Far beyond driven" is my favourite Metal tone, and the drums sound immense!!

That album defines heavy for me. It sounds insane!

I know that Terry used Sennheiser 609 on toms.

I know that Terry used Sennheiser 609 on toms.

Or maybe MD421s? I know he's used those in the past.

I remember reading somewhere that the guitars were tracked with 4 or 5 different amp setups and summed to mono tracks...and neve pres
And the bass was 3 tracks, one DI, one ampeg+crest poweramp and the other was sansamp.

The source could be guitar world possibly ( don't remember exact issues tho)
