k.. ok.. i get what you guys are saying... so here's what I'mma gunnadoo....
ok, ready? here it is:
Tue's Kick Sound
Nordstrom's Snare Sound
Tagtren's Tom Sound
Machine's Cymbal sound (recorded separately, naturally)
Zuess' Guitar sound (with Andy's C4 setting... but of course!)
Wallace's Bass sound
yeah.... dig my originali-TY!! BEEFCAKE!!
yes, i'm being sarcastic... but not maliciously so, but rather to gently push some of you to see this whole desire to accumulate the samples of famous producers in a different light. i think this will help you guys, it did me: instead of collecting the samples of others why not invest in a few mics and borrow or buy some nice drum peices.. a kick or a snare to start... and start making your own samples. i'm not saying to abandon altogether using any outside sample... i still use a couple i got off Andy, but less and less these days. once you start doing this you will actually LEARN how to get the sounds you are after, rather than having them ready-made for you. this is the goal, right? if you need your "own original kick to suit the mix", as DSS3 put it, you'll know how to do it with Mic selection and placement, preamp selection and settings, drum set-up and tuning, without the crutch of anyone else's samples. this is the goal, right? i would hope so.
so you say you can't afford buy mics or pres for this purpose? well, use samples then.. but as soon as you can, get a damn job and don't buy the latest version of Half-Life with your earnings... get some damn mics, get a decent pre. for those already working jobs, sacrifice some of your "fun-money". you know, no video games, or DVD's, or cases of beer for a while until you have enough to do it right.
and why is that way "right"? becase you will learn to get drum sounds by
doing, that's why. i'm not saying this is an all-or-nothing proposition.. just start incorporating this and transition to doing it mostly yourself as soon as possible. And that my friends is the real answer to "how Tue got dat killer kick sound"..... either that or he just nabbed a sample off Andy.
so, i fully expect the justifications, explanations, and condemnations to start lining up under this post. this is what i've learned happends when one gives good advice that the audience it's directed at isn't quite ready to hear. But, i made it for one reason... to help. take it or leave it.... and refer to my sig.
