Thanks man!

Yes that an upright full size double bass. What a bitch to mic and tuck in the mix. I had the pre amp so hot that if he had farted it would have blown up my monitors. haha!

Guitars are a Hughes and kettner and Line 6 HD142 both thru a standard mesa V30 cab - One SM57 1 inch away from center on cone on axis. API 312 mic pre was used.

the cleans sound great and the heavy guits have a nice rawness to them.

 

[John Haddad (Shiva Industries)]

Yeah we were going for the raw unpolished sound. you'll notice verb is the main effect used on all instuments mainly drums, room mics AAA+++

 

[poidaobi]

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

The guitars only have a bit of a high mid boost on the eq, thats it though, pretty raw I know.

Yeah Guitarguy thats awesome, I forgot they were on the road as of now. They are a good/tight live band for sure, lots of energy.

Yeah Danny Walker (drummer) was a forming member of this band, he was in Uphill Battle yes and currently drums for Phobia as well and a band named Cinema Strange - I dont see how he pulls off such a busy roster, Ive done 2 bands at one time and it killed me.

The overheads are are a mixture of akg matched pair 414TLII
, and (2) Octava MK012 for the left and right chinas. I only cut like 200-400 htz out of em, I like em a bit dark and roomy.

The verb is a LOGIC PRO reverb called Space Designer - I used like 4 variations of that reverb for all the instruments, one for snare, one for toms, one for vox, and one for guitars.

 

[MKS]

Sounds truly unique: Production and Music. Great job!!!

 

[Machinated]

Im a big fan of Space Designer. Used it a lot at my old school.

Mix sounds very good too man, forgot to add that! Having Space Designer is a definate pro of using Logic.
