ok, i hate to sound like a copy cat, and i've already been told i like these guys too much for my own good, but...
does anyone here happen to have any knowledge of Danny Carey (drummer for Tool) or Mike Portnoy's (Dream Theater's drummer) tuning techniques or miking techniques?? I wanna know what these guys are doing to make they're recordings sound professional.
i dunno if any of you guys are familiar with either of these guys, but i HIGHLY recomend you give their latest albums a listen. Excelent recordings and overall drum sounds on Tool's last 2 albums, Ænima and Lateralus (latest one). And no matter how unoriginal it may be, i want my drums to sound that clear, as if your in the same room with the drums. i have my own kinda sound due to tuning and whatnot, but i do know what i like and thats it, lol.
Dream Theater's latest albums, Metropolis 2: Scenes from a Memory, and their newest album 6 Degrees of inner turbulence have great drum sounds. Tool's sounds are a little more exotic due to Danny Carey's tuning styles and playing styles, but DT's stuff is a perfect example of everyday rock tunings and stuff, recorded with perfection, if you ask me. only a matter of opinion.
And i wonder if anyone else sees things this way: No matter how i try, my recordings don;t ever sound as clear or as "proffessional" as that which i'm hearing on these albums (or any profeesional level band's albums for that matter) I don;t know how to explain it, maybe the words is clarity, lack of noise, or oh i dunno, but it's just not the same. I wish i could explain myself better. I suppose they just don;t sound the way they're "supposed" to.
what could i be doing wrong?
