Burn my eyes

[krokit]

Been listening to 'Burn my eyes' by Machinehead for the past couple of days and love it just as much as did when I first bought it back in 94. The guitar tones as we all know were courtesy of 'bubba' and sound awsome, which bring me to a couple of questions if anybody can help:

Are the guitars quad recorded or just one per side and did they definately use a TS9?
I think that they used a couple of 421's on the cabs with v30's?

Also, I can hear a very slight slapback delay on the guitars when they stop suddenly, which surprises me as I had assumed that the guitars were totally dry?

Anybody got any little nuggets concerning the recording?

This album blew me away back in the day and Im still lovin it

Colin is the MAN

The guitara sounds g12-75t to me, not v30's

I thought Sneap was responsible for this album... I have since lost the original case for the cd (along with many others) so I can't check the booklet.

It was Colin Richardson. In fact I think He's mixed nearly all of the MH albums..

I think Sneap did The More Things Change, or he might have co-produced it, but I'm not sure.

dudes....there's a subforum "sneap produced albums"..how lazy can one be,lol

I put this one on and it still stands up to, no even slays, most current productions. A true milestone on many levels.

What's Andy's business with that record?

Also the tuning on the album is really weird, it's like drop D all the strings are also like 1/4 off, like with some Pantera albums. And some tabs also claim that the with the fourth string a halfstep down at C#.

Yeah, Ive noticed this myself! Im wondering if its some kind of varispeed tweaking? Ive slowed down guitar tracks before to get more of a feel/groove happening and obviously this leads to a slight drop in pitch..This was with a 2" tape machine, so maybe MH do this also??

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought they would do something like that but if it gets that kind of sound, then we need a new vst made to do this!

Why the hell would we need a new vst for pitch-shifting/slowing down?

not this one...
everyone was trying to find out what/if albums he did

I meant one that would be made to sound like a tape being slowed down, and would give you various options for how slow or fast you can make it. I don't know if there is already a vst that does this though...

I remember hearing they had to retrack the guitars to the tuning of the vocals, so I'm guessing it isn't a varispeed thing, but who knows.

Anyway, you can "varispeed" with elastic time. Just use the varispeed version of it (rather than monophonic, rhythmic, etc).

 

[muckypup1]

Elastic time? Is that the thing in Pro Tools?

That changed my life totally as well!!!
First really heavy as fuck and modern guitar sound.
I still remember watching the mtv, the video aired a lot on there.

For what I know guitars are 5150 with TS9 and Marshalls 1960A with GT75.
