Paramore Decode: What was used for guitars and vocals?

[jangoux]

I did this multiple kick shells back-to-back thing a few months ago and it sounds awesome if you have a mic at the end of those shells. The sub lows are MASSIVE, great for rock.

 

[Drummerrrrr?]

Like I said, this song was not recorded during the BNE sessions

Crap, blind! My bad

 

[thefyn]

Yeah that BROMMPH at the end is pretty funny.

Listenign closer the bass is also immense. I'd really like to know how the bass/ryth/cleans were done.

There seems to be some sort of stereo widener with the guits that goes beyond regular panning.

Marshalls in the live



And fark me she's hot

 

[Virgil.]

I always thought Sneap was the one who did the production. Oh well... I used to also think they had a hot chick in the band until I saw a music video.

Side question- I've seen pictures of what looks like multiple kick shells back-to-back with a carpet laid on top. Can somebody explain this technique?

Where did you see those pics?

I did use a massive kick tunnel on the record I'm doing right now, even without the extra kick drum, having a far mic at the end of the tunnel does capture a lot of "wind" and low-end, best drum tones I've gotten. After doing it, can't really imagine recording a kit without it

It was on some interview somewhere, a while ago. I've been curious about it lately. Can't imagine it working on intense double bass passages, but I haven't tried. Still would like some samples though, and if I do end up trying it out, I'll be sure to share.

It's like having a really fucking long kick drum. I tried it out years ago and liked it alot. Not done it for a while though. Maybe I'll get a couple of kicks out and do some samples for you.

I still think this is one of the best songs Paramore has ever released to be honest. Love the whole dark/moody feel and the vocals are great.

Those samples would be immensely appreciated, homes.
