I'm glad you know this since he does not.

he's not the only one working there.

this should be reserved for fags like lenny kravitz. woo amp farm dude!

haha! very true.

true it is unnecessary but there is no right or wrong way to do things and being aware of your options whether they be coincident pairs or 3 mic stereo groupings means you will be able to get a wider variety of sounds

my point exactly. there were actually multiple tracks done of some instruments to provide just that variety of sounds.

I have not used this mic (cade200) but every review I just read said it was rather unflattering and has a flat response with an un natural boosted mid gain. Not to mention they dont even produce it anymore.

it's all subjective... this is just what my ears are telling me.

What preamps? I have a 1604 vlz pro which is better than the CR version but is still not all that great. And I DO NOT record to a computer.

The CR series has simple built-in preamps (analog, though not tube). Recording to computer allows versatility and ease that are much more costly via outboard analog gear. All the same, everything he used up to the computer was an analog signal path, including processing on the mics, allowing some of the benefits of each method.

Fixing it in the mix is gay. Digital mixing sux.

That's probably why ProTools is so popular with the multi-million dollar producers.

What does it matter how much they paid ... it's called learning process or paying your dues.

It matters because the other two recordings were basically live takes in a practice space, without any preparation or implementation of actual recording techniques... the purpose of one was to just get down quick recordings of new band material, not to produce a professional record, and the other was just getting used to new programs. The more important point is that the other two weren't customers; they were recordings with his own bands.

98% these "proffessional" recordings come out like shit cause of the bands themselves. people think you just throw up some mics on the drums and press record... you should spend at least twice as long mixing as you did tracking.

I agree... that's the professional approach, and it's exactly what was done for the customers of this studio.

I never made a grade school insult ... Next time you want to sound smart.........try harder

The 'grade-school' comment wasn't directed at you, and I think you succeeded in completely missing the point. Congratulations.
