these were recorded without a bottom mic.
it's an sm57 and a km184 on top....the 184 dominates the mix.
chain: API preamp (driven HOT)-->Apogee AD16-X
the softlimiter of the Apogee taking off a dB or two of the km184 track.
int PT bussed to MH Channelstrip...some EQ and comp (like 10dB) (this is where the "snap" comes from)--->Maxim Limiter shoving off another 2 dB-->Alan Smart C2 on "crush" mode taking another 4-5dB-->Apogee's softlimiter for the final 1dB hardware limiting.
yep, shitload of compression, but I really liked how it turned out...I guess so will you.
Reverb on the "wet" is just D-Verb
(and I did something to the very tail to have this "ring"...)
for the ones with slow connections...check it out before you download the zip:
Example Dry
Example Wet
