Tracked these guys at the weekend and will be doing final mix on Tuesday.
Real drums.
Tuned to drop A sharp. (used a "D" bass string for the low A sharp on guitar)
DI tracks and Mesa Triple Recto 57/421 tracks included for guitars.
Overhead left is hats side. Everything else should be obvious.

Replace ohs track with this

The ohs in the full file exported as mono by accident.

My rough mix for the band to listen to before the final mix.

[colonel_claypoo]

¯(°_o)/¯ How do google drive?

sign up?

kidding aside, if it's only working for people who use google drive, maybe mickrich can make the files available to non-google users?

 

[mickrich]

Didn't realise google docs required you to sign up to anything.
Since megauplpad is gone I don't know anywhere else to upload it.
There is a stereo overhead track, china r is a close mic on a china to the drummers right.
Trigger tracks are audio recording of Roland triggers which give a nice clean signal to use with slate trigger or whatever.

just curios but how is it possible that roland triggers pick up kit sound like mics?
if you listen to KIK TRG_bip.wav for example, you can clearly hear the cymbals and stuff. didn't know that was possible.

 

[mickrich]

Contact triggers are basically piezo pickups like the ones used on an acoustic guitar so they pick up some spill.
Still much cleaner than mics. The drummer was hitting really hard too.

 

[colonel_claypoo]

cool, good to know, thanks. I quite like the kick sound. which mic did you use on that?

 

[bryan_kilco]

Is it me, or is the rough mix clipping like mad? Or is that just the fizz from the Recto that I'm hearing?

This was a rough mix at the end of tracking and hammered into ozone for level.
One thing I have learned is never to give a low level rough mix to a band.
I will always give a rough mix at about -12rms. Pro bands understand that a rough mix is just that but most bands think quiet = bad quality unfortunately.

Here is a list of mics etc used.
Everything EQed on the way in through A&H ZED-R16.

Sonor S Class Maple kit with Tama Metalworks snare and drummer's own cymbals (some Sabians)
Kick- Sen e602>ISA 220 with parallel compression and eq.
Snare top and bottom- 57s>ISA828
Rack- 421>ISA828
Floor- ATM25>ISA828
Hats- Old Sen SDC (Don't know model number but it's good)
OHS- ATM450>API
China E906>ISA828
Room- Neumann TLM103>UA LA-610 (hammered with compressor)

Bass- Warwick rock bass 4 string with btm 4 of 5 string set>Hartke Bass Attax pre/di>Zed r-16 pre and di linked to Warwick Tubepath 5 head>Warwick 410 cab>ATM25>LA-610.

Guitars L/R- ESP M1 NTB with PRS HFS pickup>TS808>Triple Rectifier (With MXR graphic in loop)>Recto Cab>57&421>API pres.

Crunch Guitar- ESP M1>Mesa MK4> Recto cab as above.

Vox- SM57>API

this thread shits me.

Are you sure? Cause but I could only find one mono overhead track called OHS_bip.wav ...

 

[mickrich]

You are right.
The overheads exported as mono for some reason.
Here is the stereo bounce. Delete the old overhead track from the session and replace with this stereo version.

I have re-amped the guitars with a Mesa MK4 for more crunch with less fizz.
I will upload them when I get a chance.

this thread shits me.

It appears I have my first internet stalker.
kronk, PM me and let me know what your problem is rather than posting shit on my threads.

 

[colonel_claypoo]

thanks, I was already thinking, nah, let's mix it with mono OH's

 

[MartijnPaauwe]

Thanks for the tracks! Song is good, quality of the tracks are great

Here is my 1st draft


You might wanna turn the volume up a bit. There is nothing on the masterbus except some compression

 

[mickrich]

Thanks.
There is lots of eq and compression on the way in.
I will have a listen later after the football.

Here is my final master of this song.
