textures - silloutes

Straight from Jochem's mouth - they ended up using the 5150 on it. They used the Bogner cab and a Marshall cab ontop of it, with like 3-4 mics on each cab. They've always done weird shit like that.

Ok nice clarification and tips;)
 
Yeah I remember on Polars it was like 3 cabs with 2 sm57s on each, a d112 6 feet back for low end rumble, and some condensors thrown in. The guitars sound like ass on that album (not as bad as drawing circles...) but they like doing stuff like that haha.

Can't say I agree, the guits are shockingly bad on polars and they sound totally disconnected from the mix as a whole, on drawing circles they work - they're not brilliant but they have character, although I guess I may be biased, because thats my favourite textures album.
 
Any amp/cab/micing techniques ideas for clean guitars on Silhouettes album?
Amazing clean guitar tone imo...
 
Of course they used samples, at least you can see the snare trigger on one of the studio reports, and don't tell me it was for triggering the noise gate only, who does that? :lol:
That snare sounds like mic blended with samples from the same snare to me.

Could very well be, it's still the most natural sounding drums on any album that heavy I have ever heard.

And I did use a trigger just to trigger a gate on both kick and snare on the album I'm currently producing. :)
 
The room may have had alot to do with the polars album. I dont know what kind of wood the Dutch use for pallets... But, i saw a making of video for that album where they had do break appart tons of pallets to tune the room with.

I just wish i could hear the music of the first album with finer production. The song "Swandive" kills:zombie:
