No limiting. Occasionally a distant room mic (NeumannU87) was added.

hahaa

i'll bet anything that at least 5% of the motivation for that post was to make TMH look like a fool.

Hunh... So did it work? I just re-read my post on this thread, twice, and every word is still true. The fact that he remembers (or dug out a picture or a log or something) and that he shared is nice of him, if not a little surprising. I still don't think it would be reasonable to *expect* answers.

And he really did say, and this is an exact quote, "I don't remember" when I posed a question about the mixing of that album. This may be because my question was a slightly political one, and was a question of motivation rather than any sort of technical data. Or it may be because he thinks I'm an ass. Hrm...

God damn it. Please shut up. You type so much crap to justify more crap. The question was answered (by the person who could answer it, and lo! and behold, it wasn't you), and somehow that STILL warrants a three (3) paragraph answer by you! So once again, and with a pretty please, god damn it, shut up. Thats all and Good Day! Thank you very much.

Given my limited recording studio experience, I can't imagine anyone remembering this kind of detail after 15 or 16 years.

Please learn to count.

Okay, sorry, shutting up now.

I don't think i've ever heard of anyone employing 2 mics like that before. i know i've never done it. Is that for mixing the two for tonal balance, like one would do on guitar/bass cabs?
