Pink Floyd has some truly embarrassing records that fail miserably enough to the point that no band's worst record, not even Radiohead's, can compete. Kid A is great and a must listen for anybody who cares about music.

hey guys, i'm back from the first weekend of recording. we used the office room for the drums from close range and the sound was decent, but claustrophobic. we're looking for a much more "open" drum sound, ala talk talk's laughing stock , which from my understanding was recorded in a simil...

i use A custom for my hi-hat and for my ride and they sound great. i put rivets in my old ZXTs cause they're fucking awful, and its an interesting texture to add if played with other cymbals. can't really work very well on its own though.

anybody got the details?

Thanks for the heads up- I'll definitely post the results. We're buying our last three mics right now (2 overheads and a snare), and upgrading our mixers. We're working digitally, so messing with the timing shouldn't be too difficult. I think we may end doing a mish-mash of both methods, possibly wi...

thanks scott, i think we might try the parking garage thing in addition to the office. it might be nice to change it up a bit and see what kind of drum sounds we can get out of just about everywhere. i'll let you know what results we get with your dream set up

I suppose the office room sounds better, as its carpeted and the walls have an interesting texture, although I will admit that the concrete walls of the warehouse have a certain amount of charm to them- everything sounds much bigger and uncontrollable. Also, we will be tracking 1 player at a time, s...

hello friends, i was looking for tips on how to properly determine and effectively use the natural acoustics of a room. my band and i are going to start recording shortly, and we have a variety of options as far as rooms go. the first is a somewhat large office with walls that are textured with larg...

yeah, recording with a looper is a bad idea if you're looking for a better, more precise mix. my band ran into the same problem at electrical- but due to time constraints, did not have time to overdub.

is anybody else stoked about seeing yoko ono? i have never liked any of her records, but for some reason, i think it'll be a fun train wreck to witness.
