Collective questions for Mr. Sneap -thread

[Andy Sneap]

I have a question for Andy: do you use things like Waves MaxxBass or any other psycho-acoustic devices to deal with the low end of your mixes?

I have once or twice but very rarely, its not something I usually do put it that way

 

[slayercannibalsuffohead]

May be a dumb question here, but does anyone use a parametric equalizer between an sm57 and the pre amps? I have a presonus eq3b which I have used to good effect between the 2. I am asking because I have not read anything anywhere on this subject. I record everything twice, once without the eq and once with. It sounds pretty good without, but I always go with the eq. I have no re amp box yet, hence the twice bits.


Thanks Andy and everyone here for questions and answers, this is becoming my second favourite thread, closley behind, DO YOU PEE IN THE SHOWER? thread.

Oh, nearly forgot, Andy, if it hasnt been asked already, do you pee in the shower?

Sorry to be an ass, but the first question is a general one, and couldn't only be answered by Andy, you should start a new thread with this question. And the second question is completely unrelated to Andy as far as production/mixing goes, and that's what this thread is for, not to find out about Andy's personal life!

Thanks for the answer Andy. Here's another one to keep you busy :

Do you like out of the box new SM57s or do you mod them like some people do (remove the transformer or whatever)?

So what you are saying is that it quite possibly could be a dumb question, cool
And I asked for everyones opinion, not just Andys, (thought I would ask everyone and thought it was a legit question for Andy)
And I am sorry about the privacy question for Andy, I will ring the fun police and let them know,
And could you have answered my first question in fewer words than you typed to tell me otherwise cheers!

pretty much algorithmic, seems to do what it says on the tin.

Cheers!

From the first post:

- No questions that do not DIRECTLY apply to Andy and/or could be just as well be answered by someone else! For example "should I use X or Y to record my guitars". Create their own thread for those questions

And answer to your question does Andy pee in the shower was already answered in the thread itself: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/8252270-post20.html

And no, I don't use eq when recording. Highpass filter, maybe.

Apologies, thought as Andy had some experience with the Presonus eq3b (Exodus) that he may have some info that he could share.
Apologies again, i will leave trivial humour out of this thread.
I was gonna ask you if you had used eq in the situation I described and then I thought ........................................

Andy, would you ever sue someone if you found out they used your samples from this forum in a major commercial release?

That mean you're thinking about doing it?

 

[Jaymz]

Or already has

 

[cobhc]

True.

no not at all, be nice to hear it actually.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Haha I used the kick and the snare a few times actually

 

[gabriel g.]

I used your samples on some demos for local bands, too.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

do you have a favorite sm57?
I mean they sound almost as different as the 4 speakers in one box, so I thought you might perhaps a favorite one in your arsenal.

and are you using the MH on Drums on smooth-setting or on warm?


cheers
