Real or programmed drums? You be the judge ;)

I don't mean actually having them flop thier titties out...just doin the dancing...everything BUT taking clothes off.

Anyone else hear the string noise in guitar palm mutes? Also the bad edits that pop/click all over the place?

I would work with them though as well..

I can tell that's the stock hi hat in cubase/nuendo...and is it me or do they not have a bass player

 

[Felix Neumann]

LOL Felix! I bet Timbaland can get a better drum tone by using an Sm58 and his mouth lol

Hahahahahahaha

It was easy for me to pick out the drums were programmed, because I programmed the drums on our original demos since our drummer was too lazy to record. He wanted everything pristine and perfect, but wasn't willing to spend a week practicing his ass off to make sure they turned out that way. Maybe these guys have the same scenario, programmed dums for ease of release.

That is so fuckin´ poor, dude. I also know this cases. In my experience often "smoking shit" was the problem..some peoples become lazy because of it. Actually it depends on the dude himself..some people cannot handle both. Smoking shit and being motivated and ambitioned enough to make a great drum take. Anyway...

You should show up at the Battle of the Bands with baseball bats with nails in em and suits of armor, then act really surprised you don't get to actually battle anybody.

One way to win a BotB is show up with dancers (strippers) in cages on both sides of the stage. I've seen it happen.

I saw Chimaira do something like this.

Do the girls dancing, and the baseball bats/ LARP swords.

Use the force and you will win.

stippers would hold my attention!

Anyway, I'm thinking a bunch now- if I'm aiming to make a professional career out of this engineering thing, is it a complete no-no to say the things I've just said? Surely it's okay to be honest, and I enjoy discussing things I like about music, as well as discussing the things I don't like about music... I'm just trying to put it all into the right perspective, and I realized recently that I never hear any of the audio professionals (on these boards or elsewhere) making public statements that could reflect poorly on them as people.

I don't think it's going to hurt your buisness if you have those opinions. I'm sure alot of bands share your opinions on sub drops and stuff. there's also the case of whether you are still willing to add sub drops regardless of you liking them.

It's not that big of a deal, alot of people rip on whatever the new flavor of the week style is. Right now it's deathcore ( i think, although i'm not completely up on my pop metal game). It was metalcore, an so on. Honestly, in this tight-knit metal engineer's community opinions are alittle different than the mainstream engineering community. We still like samples, and the majority of other engineers i talk to shun sample replacement and claim it's passe. What i'm saying is, it's not uncommon to criticise the new pop thing or certain styles.

also, i've heard audio pro's make statements that reflect poorly on themselves. Although I find that the best engineers/producers are open to most music and rarely hear them say a bad thing about artists or styles of music.

My whole new CD has programmed drums and most people can not tell they are programed. Maybe people in this forum can tell but the average person listening can not:

take a listen: http://www.myspace.com/bloodsoakedband


I am 100% happy and could not be happier with the drum sound.

[Fox Mulder]

Lol definitely programmed.
But really, use 50 varying samples intelligently, very intelligently arranged per track (as in, per kick, snare etc), and I wont be surprised if people refuse to believe that it's programmed.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

WTF is wrong with people?

I HATE FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING SUPER KAMAIA MAIA PUCH DOUCHEBAGS THAT POST ANNOYING BULLSHIT AUTO MEDIA PLAYERS IN THE COMMENTS!

Okay so now that I got that out of my system.

Fuck the drums (although programmed), the singer strait sucks nut sack. Horrible tone.

 

[xmidihcx]

you think those vox are bad? imagine how they sound live. . .
im not gonna link you to their youtube but if u have the stomache for it and u are bored, well, still dont do it! lol

the reality of the situation is that they have been gigging for over a year now at least and they are probably gonna bring more heads than my band, since this is our first official gig.

have no doubt that we are gonna represent for real new york metal and give all the bands a fucking run for the their money! (hopefully scare a few people in the process)
