I remember looking up threads like this quite a while ago but never found a detailed discussion about it. So if anyone would like to throw in anything that would be really cool for guys like me who are interested in breaking away from that over-processed sound. I know there are vsts such as voxengo and different verb plugins that are usually the go-to for verbage. I know that mastering multiple instances of drum samples done with a combination of close mics and/or just room mics could also help bring out that organic sound. I also know that people have sampled/triggered SD and such to do the same.
I have a band planing on recording soon that I would like to try something different by sampling the drummers kit close up and with a stereo pair of nt5s just squashed to hell and try and use that since I will have limited inputs. Mix those different samples after all the tracks have been printed and all that. I plan on getting a free room vst such as voxengo and going from there. Think I could get a big drum sound from there? Opinions on the best sounding vst?
I guess what I'm asking or would like to hear about are some notable productions that have had to work around that and use these methods or similar things to get a convincing sound. Clips, links, how you did it, how they did it, anything would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys
