Collective questions for Mr. Sneap -thread

[GuitarHack]

....rippa!

Thanks Andy. So I owe you mud or summit, like, then.

 

[James-Doolan]

Hi Andy do you have any preference when it comes to bass strings which brand/gauge do you prefer???

 

[dan weapon]

Andy - you're a top bloke.

Could ask a lot of questions but don't want to take the piss, so:


1) Do you prefer "producing" bands or just mixing them? And how heavily do you get involved in the songwriting process when you're producing?

2) How often, if at all, have you had to play guitar parts for bands that weren't good enough to play bits themselves? (no names need to be mentioned obviously haha) If so - did the bands know about it?

Cheers!

This thread is awesome, I actually just noticed this thread.

What stands out for me the most in of Andy's mixes is the verb on drums. It just sounds so smashing.
Unfortunatelly I do not have access to dVerb (Cubase user). Do you have any other recommandations reverb wise?
I never get that "smack". I get a nice room with the verb, but not that "smack" I'm looking for on snare & toms.

 

[::XeS::]

^ +1.
How much reverb do you usually use in your drums (snare and toms)?
About the kick, I think you don't use any reverb on it

+1

Was just about to say, details on Tom reverb would be amazing and don't think it's been touched on yet.

 

[GeertSamuel]

About the OH's on the china's. Do you gate these when china's not being hit?

try roomworks with the medium snare setting, increase ER to like 25ms and set the room to like 1.5

 

[greyskull]
