Let's talk Bergstrand

[HeadCrusher]

the problem with this technique is that

1. when the rhythm guitars play a solo part in a song they sound übershit

automate the eq maybe?

 

[abyssofdreams]

automate the eq maybe?

yes of course but you eq depending on the source anyways meaning that you should focus on a source tone that has more upper content anyways when using this technique so you'd have less lowend presence right from the start if that makes sense...

actually I have to think it over

 

[blackcom]

the business of thin guitars and the bass giving the meat of it can produce some awesome effects. Just listen to the great southern trendkill and all that bottom end power is from the bass, while the guitar on its own is a horrible fizzy solid state mess......but together its pure gold

It does require players who are very tight playing wise though

Daniel told me he uses TLM193 instead of a57 to capture a bigger low-end on the guitars, so not so shure about the "thin guitar thingy".

 

[Sly]

Daniel uses TLM193 and a Royer ribbon mic for his guitars. I don't think his guitars sound weak in the low end, it really depends on which CD you take in his discography ("Reroute To Remain" has very different guitars compared to "Chaosphere"...).
I love most of his work, very creative IMO.

 

[Ermz]

He pulls some very strange guitar tones. He makes them work with the mix always, but when you just focus on them they almost always sound like shit. There is a grainy element that cuts through the mix like crazy, but just sounds crap.

 

[mondocane]

I remember his gtr sound on Stuck Mojo "Pigwalk" being totally insane modded JCM800 molten metal.

and wanna try that valvestate [8100, I suppose] on Ampeg svt 8x10 as suggested above, talking about distorted bass...

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

lol dude btw i was just thinking about it and the guitar on apostasy sounds like shit on its own!!! amazing how well it works with the mix though. damn....

Bump to an old thread but found some new vid about Daniel. This thing don't apper often so

New Dug out btw (SSL duality and alphalink converter...etc)

[ronnan]

The bass sounds beastly in the first vid..

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Blow dryer??

 

[Melb_shredder]

Epic bump! BUT epic engineer! Come Clarity kicks my arse day in day out :S

Agree, Daniel is the man

 

[::XeS::]

It's incredible how randomo is Daniel's look.....everytime I see a video with him, it seems a different person

Because you often see Daniel with is cap

First guy is Rickard Sporrong. Daniel appears at 0.56

you use it to heat the glue on drum heads. Helps them get seated better the first time you put em on.

I read on the drum tuning bible that it's useless

MUST FIND IN FLAMES MULTITRACK.

 

[Mikaël-ange]

Any idea about monitoring?

well just like the real bible there's alot of half truths and total bullshit. :Spin: Seriously though, I've watched a ton of drum techs in my day in the studio and almost all of them use that trick.

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

For those of you who liked Stabbing the Drama's mix, Nine's "Killing Angels" is a similar Bergstrand-sounding mix. It's got that same thing going on.
