Are these drums TACTing?

[Matt.CL]

i think snare is kinda weak. and the sound of that kick might not survive in a mix with bass and guitars
that's why you should record every other instrument to tease a drum sound imo.

here's a full mixdown from a band im doing now, all the settings are the same etc... im trying to get as close as i can get into the color morale album that joey did. the band loves the sound of it so do i. : ) (and yes i know im really far from it haha)

Nice, dude. I think you nailed it, personally. The kick could go down a TEEENY bit, but that's just me. What did you do for guitars?

guitars are the pod tact lol


edit : i used screamer -> diamondplate -> treadplate w/ condenser -> preamp -> 2 eq-s
that goes into an fx channel

What the hell is "tact"?

 

[premx]

somebody said it that wanted to say texture. or something like this, and from then everybody ironizing with it, so do i! : )

 

[Jaymz]

I see, so tact = texture?

What the hell is "tact"?

reference to another famous thread from like...a year ago, in which a barely-english speaking 1st poster inquired as to how to get the sturgis "pod tact". a lol filled super-thread ensued.

the term has stuck, in a sattirical manner.

usage of it, however, does not save this thread from being utterly full of fail.

yeah, it makes sense. that texture-ish, papery and smacky sound. tact!

i don't really dig the hi-hat. and those guitars are sounding weak as fuck
