That "Clayman" sound....

[NickL]

Ok.

 

[deathtotaliban]

boomy? you may just have some fucked up speakers because I def. wouldn't call this sound boomy.

 

[ffaudio]

Is there anywhere I can hear all of the old clips? Pretty much the only one that works for me is the newest one Oz posted.

hi guys

i think you'll kill me - but i don't like this technique - it sounds boomy

it really presses on my ears - i heard all the tracks from here - so heres my opinion)

maybe thats because of quad tracking, which i don't like

That's fine, although like the others I'd question your setup as these are tighter than a lot of single-mic clips I've heard around here. Try playing with it yourself, if you can - even if you don't like the sound you'll learn about phasing better than you can have it explained to you on any message board.

Nordstrom, is you there butchy boy?

 

[abyssofdreams]

can someone who tested this technique upload a sample with unprocessed guitars only? I would like to compare these with the ones I recorded recently, just to see if it's even close to what I want to accomplish and how much it differs from your approaches ;-)

 

[JBroll]

In the thread about phasing a page or so back I put up samples of the dual-mic thing, with mild time-shifting back and forth and examples of what in-phase and out-of-phase sound like with my setup:

The post details (perhaps too much) what sounds come from where, it's an i5-57 setup and took a while to get right.

@Oz: Really great sounding stuff! Can you perhaps create an impulse response file of your favorite microphone setup?

 

[Glenn Fricker]

I suppose I could, but I've never tried it before!

Can someone clue me in how to do it?

 

[CronosBeyond]

I would send you a specific soundsample and you have to send it through your setup and record it with the two mics (perhaps seperately). I need the resulting sound file(s) and can create an impulse response from it.

If you like, you can do it yourself with this tool: http://www.voxengo.com/product/deconvolver/

are they using the fredman technique on the new soilwork?

 

[flytrapx]

yes

 

[STINNETT]

OzNimbus, that last clip you posted is incredible.
You have convinced me to put a more thorough effort into using this method.

Would you be willing to post that clip with the guitar sound only? I'd love to have a bare bones clip to compare my results against.

 

[noarin]

did any of you guys try this technique at a live performance?
how did it work?

I don't think it's well suited for live. Tiny movements of one of the mics makes big changes in sound, especially in the high end.

 

[HeadCrusher]

Here are two short clips, one is an SM57 on and the other is off axis.

How well do they cancel out each other? (Well I can obviously hear that myself, just wanted to know if you can get better results. )
