i dont know what kind of gear you are using to record, so I can't give you any ironclad suggestions about your setup or anything, but all I know is that the drums (and possibly bass?.?)
hardware is a firepod, software is cubase.
the mic's are all on the low end side i guess. drum mic's are audiotech 4pack, with mxl small diaphram's as overheads, & another mxl on the hats. drumset is a yamaha stage custom
guitar setup is
a vintage 30's cab with line6 head, only rack unit i'm using is a sonic maximizer. the guitar is a brian moore custom with a jb pickup.
guitar cab micing is small diaphram right dead center in the cone, & large slightly further away & offset.
bass & keys being recorded direct.
vocal mic is a mxl 990.
only drums that are eq'd are the snare & bass. drum & bass also compressed & gated & have a tube distortion effect on them. snare has reverb on it. toms have compression & slight reverb. hats have a limiter.
drums are eq'd as per i've read here. 80hz boost, 400hz cut, 3000 & 8000hz boost.
bass is boosted at 400.
i tried not to eq the guitars at all except for adding some mids.
i'm guess i'm just not great with tweaking because of the lack of monitors.
hopefully i can get a better idea of what it sounds like for other people once my monitors get here. i'm mixing now by making a mp3, then listening to it on my normal use desktop. then remixing based on the mp3. thats why the filename is-15. it took 15 mp3's to get that far....heh.
thanks.
